tap gesture recognizer - which object was tapped?

Question

I\'m new to gesture recognizers so maybe this question sounds silly: I\'m assigning tap gesture recognizers to a bunch of UIViews. In the method is it possible to find out w

You should amend creation of the gesture recogniser to accept parameter (add colon ':')

UITapGestureRecognizer *letterTapRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(highlightLetter:)];

And in your method highlightLetter: you can access the view attached to recogniser:

-(IBAction) highlightLetter:(UITapGestureRecognizer*)recognizer
{
    UIView *view = [recognizer view];
}
