iPhone iOS how to add a UILongPressGestureRecognizer and UITapGestureRecognizer to the same control and prevent conflict?

Question

I\'m building an iPhone app that would let the user rearrange some of the UI elements on the screen.

How can I add a tap gesture recognizer and a long press gesture rec

Answer 1

To allow both gestures to work together, implement the following delegate method:

- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)otherGestureRecognizer{
    return YES;
}

To make it so that the long press has first priority, do:

[tapGesture requireGestureRecognizerToFail:longPress];
