UITapGestureRecognizer initWithTarget:action: method to take arguments?

Question

I\'m using UITapGestureRecognizer because I\'m using a UIScrollView that acts as a container for my UILabels. Basically I\'m trying to use

Answer 1

You can use just one UITapGestureRecognizer and in your gesture handler (your myLaberXTap), which has the syntax:

 - (void)handleGesture:(UITapGestureRecognizer*)gestureRecognizer {
     ...
 } 

use gesture.view to know which view you are working on.

Answer 2

Add a single gesture recognizer to the view that is the superview of your various labels:

UITapGestureRecognizer *myLabelTap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(myLabelTapHandler:)];
[myLabelParent addGestureRecognizer:myLabelTap];

Then when you handle the gesture, determine which label was tapped:

-(void)myLabelTapHandler:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer {
    UIView *tappedView = [gestureRecognizer.view hitTest:[gestureRecognizer locationInView:gestureRecognizer.view] withEvent:nil];

    // do something with it
}
