Allowing user to select a UIPickerView row by tapping
iphone, objective-c, uipickerview, xcode
Solution
Add a gesture recogniser to the UIPickerView which triggers a target method in your object:
myGR = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(pickerTapped:)];
[myPicker addGestureRecognizer:myGR];
// target method
-(void)pickerTapped:(id)sender
{
// your code
}
Problem
I'm trying to use a UIPicker View with a behavior somehow different of what's usually seen in iPhone code examples. What I want to do is to allow users to scroll through the picker contents, but not to select a picker's row automatically (using the "didSelectRow" method from picker's delegate). Instead, I want to allow the user to touch the center row of the picker, which gets highlighted, and becomes the selection. Is there any way to achieve this? Thanks in advance.
