UIScrollView inside UIScrollView

Question

I have a `UIScrollView` with another `UIScrollView` inside. They both are scrolled horizontally and have `pagingEnabled = YES`. Assume that I started to scroll inner scroll view and reached the most right bound. And if I proceed scrolling in it, then the outer scrollView begins to move. I need to avoid this. Inner view should jump with rubber-band effect, outer should stay at it's place. Hope it's clear, but here is a sketch: I've tried to set `outerView.scrollEnabled = NO;` like this: ``` - (void)scrollViewWillBeginDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView { outerView.scrollEnabled = NO; } ``` , and it works exactly how I need, if to scroll just in innerView. OuterView is not scrolled anymore. But I have to set `scrollEnabled` back to YES somewhere for the case if I'd want to scroll outerView again. I've tried to do it here: ``` - (void)scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:(UIScrollView *)scrollView { outerView.scrollEnabled = YES; } ``` , but than I'm getting the same problem: after reaching the…

UPDATE

This solution works always:

```
@implementation InnerScrollViewController <UIScrollViewDelegate, UIGestureRecognizerDelegate>

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    UISwipeGestureRecognizer*   swipeGesture = [[[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleSwipe:)] autorelease];
    swipeGesture.delegate = self;
    [self.view addGestureRecognizer:swipeGesture];
}

- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldReceiveTouch:(UITouch *)touch
{
    _outerScrollView.scrollEnabled = NO;
    return YES;
}

- (void)handleSwipe:(UIGestureRecognizer*)gestureRecognizer
{

}

- (void)scrollViewWillBeginDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView
{   
    _outerScrollView.scrollEnabled = NO;
}

- (void)scrollViewDidEndDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView willDecelerate:(BOOL)decelerate
{
    if (!decelerate)
    {
        _outerScrollView.scrollEnabled = YES;
    }
}

- (void)scrollViewDidEndDecelerating:(UIScrollView *)scrollView
{
    _outerScrollView.scrollEnabled = YES;
}

@end
```

OLD ANSWER: doesn't work always

Here is how I solved the problem:

```
@implementation InnerView

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {
        self.delaysContentTouches = NO;
    }
    return self;
}

- (BOOL)touchesShouldBegin:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event inContentView:(UIView *)view
{
    return NO;
}
```

As I understand, `self.delaysContentTouches = NO;` makes all events to be delivered immediately, and `- (BOOL)touchesShouldBegin:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event inContentView:(UIView *)view` prevents passing of these events by responder chain.
