Losing Gesture Recognizers in UIPopoverController
I have a class called PhotoBoothController that I use to manipulate an image using gestures. It works fine when I run it on iPhone. However when I run it on iPad, I display the PhotoBoothController inside a UIPopoverController. The image appears fine, however I can't manipulate it as my gestures don't appear to be recognized. I'm not sure how to make the UIPopoverController take control of the gestures.
I present the popovercontroller and configure the view thus:
- (void)presentPhotoBoothForPhoto:(UIImage *)photo button:(UIButton *)button {
//Create a photoBooth and set its contents
PhotoBoothController *photoBoothController = [[PhotoBoothController alloc] init];
photoBoothController.photoImage.image = [button backgroundImageForState:UIControlStateNormal];
//set up all the elements programmatically.
photoBoothController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
//Add frame (static)
UIImage *frame = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"HumptyLine1Frame.png"] adjustForResolution];
UIImageView *frameView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:frame];
frameView.frame = CGRectMake(50, 50, frame.size.width, frame.size.height);
[photoBoothController.view addSubview:frameView];
//Configure image
UIImageView *photoView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:photo];
photoView.frame = CGRectMake(50, 50, photo.size.width, photo.size.height);
photoBoothController.photoImage = photoView;
//Add canvas
UIView *canvas = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:frameView.frame];
photoBoothController.canvas = canvas;
[canvas addSubview:photoView];
[canvas becomeFirstResponder];
[photoBoothController.view addSubview:canvas];
[photoBoothController.view bringSubviewToFront:frameView];
//resize the popover view shown in the current view to the view's size
photoBoothController.contentSizeForViewInPopover = CGSizeMake(frameView.frame.size.width+100, frameView.frame.size.height+400);
self.photoBooth = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:photoBoothController];
[self.photoBooth presentPopoverFromRect:button.frame
inView:self.view
permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny
animated:YES];
}
I thought [canvas becomeFirstResponder] might do it but it doesn't appear to make a difference.
Any advice much appreciate, thank you.
UPDATE: adding code as per comment
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
if (!_marque) {
_marque = [CAShapeLayer layer];
_marque.fillColor = [[UIColor clearColor] CGColor];
_marque.strokeColor = [[UIColor grayColor] CGColor];
_marque.lineWidth = 1.0f;
_marque.lineJoin = kCALineJoinRound;
_marque.lineDashPattern = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSNumber numberWithInt:10],[NSNumber numberWithInt:5], nil];
_marque.bounds = CGRectMake(photoImage.frame.origin.x, photoImage.frame.origin.y, 0, 0);
_marque.position = CGPointMake(photoImage.frame.origin.x + canvas.frame.origin.x, photoImage.frame.origin.y + canvas.frame.origin.y);
}
[[self.view layer] addSublayer:_marque];
UIPinchGestureRecognizer *pinchRecognizer = [[UIPinchGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(scale:)];
[pinchRecognizer setDelegate:self];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:pinchRecognizer];
UIRotationGestureRecognizer *rotationRecognizer = [[UIRotationGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(rotate:)];
[rotationRecognizer setDelegate:self];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:rotationRecognizer];
UIPanGestureRecognizer *panRecognizer = [[UIPanGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(move:)];
[panRecognizer setMinimumNumberOfTouches:1];
[panRecognizer setMaximumNumberOfTouches:1];
[panRecognizer setDelegate:self];
[canvas addGestureRecognizer:panRecognizer];
UITapGestureRecognizer *tapProfileImageRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(tapped:)];
[tapProfileImageRecognizer setNumberOfTapsRequired:1];
[tapProfileImageRecognizer setDelegate:self];
[canvas addGestureRecognizer:tapProfileImageRecognizer];
}
- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)otherGestureRecognizer {
return ![gestureRecognizer isKindOfClass:[UIPanGestureRecognizer class]] && ![gestureRecognizer isKindOfClass:[UITapGestureRecognizer class]];
}
I am working on a similar application, and i can easily manipulate images on the canvas.
1) Check if the userInteractionEnabled property of the canvas is set to YES .
2) You can try adding the gestures to the ImageView's rather than the canvas. (I am guessing u want to zoom , rotate n swipe the images).
some guesses:
is this because viewDidLoad method have been called before cavas property been set? In this case, you could try to add recognizers after present popover in another method such as viewDidAppear .
I also agree that the key may be that UIPopoverController allows interaction to other views outside of the popover. So i suggest to move [canvas becomeFirstResponder]; to the end of the viewDidLoad method in PhotoBoothController and try self.view becomeFirstResponder here because you actually add recognizers to self.view.
