Method touchesBegan: is only called on a "long press"

[lochetti]

I`m testing in a Iphone 4.

If I just tap the area of the segment, the method touchesBegan is not called. I have to do a top of a certain duration to get the method called.

The ideia is to use UITapGestureRecognizer.

UITapGestureRecognizer *tapGestureRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleTapFrom:)];
[self addGestureRecognizer:tapGestureRecognizer];

and make the handleTapFrom

- (void) handleTapFrom: (UITapGestureRecognizer *)recognizer{
    //Code to handle the gesture
    CGPoint touchLocation = [recognizer locationInView:self];
    if (CGRectContainsPoint(self.bounds, touchLocation)) {
        NSInteger segment = touchLocation.x / self.segmentWidth;
        if (segment != self.selectedSegmentIndex) {
            [self setSelectedSegmentIndex:segment animated:YES notify:NO];
        }
    }
}

Never came across that issue before but it's interesting. Which iOS version is that?

Tested on a iOS 6.1.3

I've been unable to reproduce this on my side so I'll close it for now.

I had a similar situation and just determine the issue. I have a tapGestureRecognizer on the main view for the ViewController (for keyboard dismisses for another function). That one was eating the events for the segment control.
