Swift: Long Press Gesture Recognizer - Detect taps and Long Press
Through code without interface builder
// Global variables declaration
var longPressed = false
var selectedRow = 0
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let longPressGesture = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(ContactListTableViewController.handleLongPress(_:)))
longPressGesture.minimumPressDuration = 1.0 // 1 second press
longPressGesture.allowableMovement = 15 // 15 points
longPressGesture.delegate = self
self.tableView.addGestureRecognizer(longPressGesture)
}
// Long tap work goes here !!
if (longPressed == true) {
if(tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath)?.accessoryType == .Checkmark){
tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath)?.accessoryType = .None
self.selectedRow -= 1
if(self.selectedRow == 0){
self.longPressed = false
}
} else {
self.selectedRow += 1
tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath)?.accessoryType = .Checkmark
}
} else if(self.selectedRow == 0) {
// Single tape work goes here !!
}
But the only problem is the long press gesture runs two times. If you have found any solution do comment below !
For swift2
let lpgr = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(handleLongPress))
lpgr.minimumPressDuration = 0.5
lpgr.delaysTouchesBegan = true
lpgr.delegate = self
self.featuredCouponColView.addGestureRecognizer(lpgr)
Action
//MARK: - UILongPressGestureRecognizer Action -
func handleLongPress(gestureReconizer: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {
if gestureReconizer.state != UIGestureRecognizerState.Ended {
//When lognpress is start or running
}
else {
//When lognpress is finish
}
}
For Swift 4.2/ Swift 5
let lpgr = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(handleLongPress))
lpgr.minimumPressDuration = 0.5
lpgr.delaysTouchesBegan = true
lpgr.delegate = self
self.colVw.addGestureRecognizer(lpgr)
//MARK: - UILongPressGestureRecognizer Action -
@objc func handleLongPress(gestureReconizer: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {
if gestureReconizer.state != UIGestureRecognizer.State.ended {
//When lognpress is start or running
}
else {
//When lognpress is finish
}
}
Define two IBActions
and set one Gesture Recognizer
to each of them. This way you can perform two different actions for each gesture.
You can set each Gesture Recognizer
to different IBActions in the interface builder.
@IBAction func tapped(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer)
{
println("tapped")
//Your animation code.
}
@IBAction func longPressed(sender: UILongPressGestureRecognizer)
{
println("longpressed")
//Different code
}
Through code without interface builder
let tapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "tapped:")
self.view.addGestureRecognizer(tapGestureRecognizer)
let longPressRecognizer = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "longPressed:")
self.view.addGestureRecognizer(longPressRecognizer)
func tapped(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer)
{
println("tapped")
}
func longPressed(sender: UILongPressGestureRecognizer)
{
println("longpressed")
}
Swift 5
let tapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(tapped))
self.view.addGestureRecognizer(tapGestureRecognizer)
let longPressRecognizer = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(longPressed))
self.view.addGestureRecognizer(longPressRecognizer)
@objc func tapped(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer){
print("tapped")
}
@objc func longPressed(sender: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {
print("longpressed")
}
