Gesture recognizer and button actions

Question

I have a view hierarchy that looks something like this: ``` UIView (A) UIView > UIImageView UIView > UIView (B) UIView > UIView (B) > Rounded Rect Button UIView > UIView (B) > UIImageView UIView > UIView (B) > UILabel ``` I've attached gesture recognizer(s) to my UIView (B). The problem that i'm facing is that i don't get any actions for the Rounded Rect Button which is inside the UIView (B). The singleTap gesture recognizer captures/overrides the button's Touch Up Inside event. How can i make it work? I thought that the responder chain hierarchy will make sure that the button touch event will be given preference, and it WILL get triggered! What am i missing? Here's some related code: ``` #pragma mark - #pragma mark View lifecycle (Gesture recognizer setup) - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; // double tap gesture recognizer UITapGestureRecognizer *dtapGestureRecognize = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(doubleTapGestureRecognizer:)]; dtapGest…

Accepted Answer

In the "shouldReceiveTouch" method you should add a condition that will return NO if the touch is in the button.

This is from apple SimpleGestureRecognizers example.

```
- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldReceiveTouch:(UITouch *)touch {

// Disallow recognition of tap gestures in the segmented control.
    if ((touch.view == yourButton)) {//change it to your condition
        return NO;
    }
    return YES;
}
```

hope it will help

Edit

As Daniel noted you must conform to `UIGestureRecognizerDelegate` for it to work.
