Is it possible to detect user interaction (like swiping a scrollview or start editing a textfield) without using delegates or notifications? Just using the most basic touch events possible.
I've been trying to use touchesBegan and touchesEnded but these are not always called.
Yes you can just connect an IBAction to your UITextField Sent Events - Editing Changed, so every time the text field changes your IBAction will be called. You can do the same for Editing Did Begin and Editing Did End.

You can identify the touched object and perform actions you required.
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
[super touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
if ([touch.view isKindOfClass: UITextField.class])
{
if (![(UITextField *)touch.view isFirstResponder])
{
//start editing
[(UITextField *)touch.view becomeFirstResponder];
}
}
else
{
}
}

New to xcode,i'm creating a simple login form in xcode 4.2 and i would like to hide the keyboard,i have the correct code i think,from the tutorial it says i need to change the class of the view to UIControl but there is no option for this, is there another way when working with storyboards?
- (IBAction)backGroundTouched:(id)sender
{
[emailTextField resignFirstResponder];
[passTextField resignFirstResponder];
}
Assuming you are doing them inside the viewCotroller, invoke
[self.view endEditing:YES];
If your two text fields are subviews of some higher-level view you can also use [higherLevelView endEditing]; and not care which subview is currently active.
Make sure your both text fields is connect with it's IBOutlets.
No need to change UIView to UIControl.
// Connect every textfield's "Did end on exit" event with this method.
-(IBAction)textFieldReturn:(id)sender
{
[sender resignFirstResponder];
}
// Use this method also if you want to hide keyboard when user touch in background
-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
[emailTextField resignFirstResponder];
[passTextField resignFirstResponder];
}
I followed this tutorial: http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Writing_iOS_7_Code_to_Hide_the_Keyboard and it's working for me:
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
UITouch *touch = [[event allTouches] anyObject];
if ([_textField isFirstResponder] && [touch view] != _textField) {
[_textField resignFirstResponder];
}
[super touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
}
I am trying to temporarily stop the scrolling of my view when the user starts to touch the screen and move.
I have coded this
- (void) touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
if (touch){
[scrollView setScrollEnabled:FALSE];
}
}
it is not working.
If you have a ScrollView and the User touches it its Defaults beheviour that it stops to scroll.
If this is not whatyou ment please be more specific what you want ;)
try this:
- (void)scrollViewWillBeginDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView{
[scrollView setScrollEnabled:FALSE];
}
now i just wonder where you enable it again...
I have a transparent UIView on top of a UIScrollView. The UIView determines whether the scrollview is allowed to scroll or not by checking three touchesMoved events. After the events, I want the view to disable user interaction so scrolling will happen. The user shouldn't even notice the delay.
However, having set the view's userInteractionEnabled to NO, it keeps claiming all touchesMoved events until it is released. This means that the user is forced to let go of the view before being able to scroll.
Using hitTest won't work until the view has been released as well. hitTest does not get called while moving.
I would send the touch events to the UIScrollView, but it happily ignores those due to it having its own hidden touch handling.
Any way to make the UIView stop claiming touch events without having to let go of it?
Make the UIView hidden. According to the docs:
A hidden view disappears visually from its window and does not receive input events
See the class reference for more: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/uiview_class/uiview/uiview.html
try cancelling the touches:
How to cancel a sequence of UITouch events?
p.s. if necessary I assume you are propagating the touches to next responder:
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet*)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
[super touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
[[self nextResponder] touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
}
- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet*)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
[super touchesMoved:touches withEvent:event];
[[self nextResponder] touchesMoved:touches withEvent:event];
}
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet*)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
[super touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event];
[[self nextResponder] touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event];
}
I'm making an UISearchBar option in the navigationbar of my app.
My app consists of multiple views and subviews.
I have this mainview which has 3 other views on himself. one of it is empty (for now) the other 2 have tableviews on them.
I want my keyboard to show when I'm searching and hide when i'm doing the actual search or when i touch/click outside the uisearchbar.
Im using the searchbardelegate as is required.
Im able to hide the keyboard using [searchBar resignFirstResponder] in the following ways.
When im pressing the return key.
When i cancel search manually
When i press any of the keyboard buttons to search or cancel.
When i touch an empty part of the screen using
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UITouch *touch = [[event allTouches] anyObject];
if ([mySearchBar isFirstResponder] && [touch view] != mySearchBar) {
[mySearchBar resignFirstResponder];
}
[super touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
}
What i not seem to be able to do is make it respond to touching one of my 2 tableviews. Or when im refilling the mainview to contain something different entirely.
Ive tried changing the touchesbegan method to resign the searchbar when touching the tableviews but it hasnt worked so far.
I've tried several other things found by my dear friend mr. google, but it all seems to be something other then I need.
Anyone have any ideas of what I might do to fix this problem?
EDIT:
It appears so that, when using breakpoints, touchesbegan-method does respond to the backgroundview but it doesnt respond when i touch either of the tableviews or the navigationbar (containing the uisearchbar).
Solved it!
- (BOOL) searchBarShouldBeginEditing:(UISearchBar *)searchBar
{
[self.myViewController1.customView1 setUserInteractionEnabled:NO];
[self.myViewController2.customView2 setUserInteractionEnabled:NO];
[searchBar setShowsCancelButton:YES animated:[mySettings animation]];
return YES;
}
I started by shutting down the userInteraction on my 2 subviews, at the moment I start using the searchBar.
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UITouch *touch = [[event allTouches] anyObject];
if ([self.mySearchBar isFirstResponder] && [touch view] != self.mySearchBar)
{
[self.mySearchBar resignFirstResponder];
[self.myViewController1.customView1 setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
[self.myViewController2.customView2 setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
}
[super touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
}
Then when I click/tap/touch outside the searchBar I first resign the keyboard which is first responder still AND AFTER that I set userInteraction back on for the 2 subviews.
The order of doing this is vital!
This piece of code allows u to resign the keyboard in a single mainViewController even when it is crowded with a massload of subviews.
Have you tried this,
UISearchBar *searchBar;
Next set the Getter and Setter Property of UISearchBar.
and call the any method
[searchBar resignFirstResponder];
So, I'm capturing multiple touches and determining the number and where each of the touches occurred and I'm seeing different behavior between a UIView UIViewController.
Basically, the event handler is coded below: (in this case the touchesEnded, but it really doesn't matter). What happens in the View, is that I get the entire collection of touches, but in the controller, I get only one touch at a time, that is there is never a collection of touches, but the TouchesEnded gets executed for each touch that occurred in the same moment.
I add the subviews as identically as possible...
Can someone 'spain to me what's going on? Why doesn't the controller version give me the collection?
-(void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
int total = 0;
for (UITouch *touch in touches)
{
for(UIView *myView in [contentView subviews])
{
if (CGRectContainsPoint([myView frame], [touch locationInView:self.view]))
total++; // this is always 1 for the UIViewController
// but I get the full number within the UIView version
}
}
}
I suspect you are getting the touches but that the views are different. Check that contentView is the same and has the same subviews.
I am not sure that I am right but this thing always work for me.
-(void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
If(touch.view==your view)
{
NSLog("do your task here");
}
}
