Detecting Pan Gesture End

Question

I\'ve got a view and I applied a UIPanGestureRecogniser to this view:

UIPanGestureRecognizer *panGesture = [[UIPanGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:sel

In Swift 4, use UIGestureRecognizerState.ended.

e.g.

if (gestureRecognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerState.ended) {

        //Move label back to original position (function invoked when gesture stops)
        UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.4) {
            self.swipeLabel.center = CGPoint(x: self.view.bounds.width / 2, y: self.view.bounds.height / 2)
        }
    }

Below is all the code you need in a view controller to animate a UILabel with gesture, including when the gesture ends.

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

@IBOutlet weak var swipeLabel: UILabel!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    //Create gesture
    let gestureRecognizer = UIPanGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(moveLabelBasedOn(gestureRecognizer:)))

    //Assign gesture to UILabel
    swipeLabel.addGestureRecognizer(gestureRecognizer)

}

//Animate Label in Resopnse to Gesture
@objc func moveLabelBasedOn(gestureRecognizer: UIPanGestureRecognizer) {

    let changeInPosition = gestureRecognizer.translation(in: view)

    //Move label in response to gesture
    swipeLabel.center = CGPoint(x: view.bounds.width / 2 + changeInPosition.x, y: view.bounds.height / 2 + changeInPosition.y)

    //Check if gesture ended
    if (gestureRecognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerState.ended) {

        //Move label back to original position (function invoked when gesture stops)
        UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.4) {
            self.swipeLabel.center = CGPoint(x: self.view.bounds.width / 2, y: self.view.bounds.height / 2)
        }
    }
}

}

Hope this helps.
