  1. POSetting direction for UISwipeGestureRecognizer
    text
    copied!<p>I want to add simple swipe gesture recognition to my view based iPhone project. Gestures in all directions (right, down, left, up) should be recognized.</p> <p>It is stated in the docs for UISwipeGestureRecognizer:</p> <blockquote> <p>You may specify multiple directions by specifying multiple UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirection constants using bitwise-OR operands. The default direction is UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight.</p> </blockquote> <p>However for me it doesn't work. When all four directions are OR'ed only left and right swipes are recognized.</p> <pre><code>- (void)viewDidLoad { UISwipeGestureRecognizer *recognizer; recognizer = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleSwipeFrom:)]; [recognizer setDirection:(UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight | UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionDown | UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft | UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionUp)]; [[self view] addGestureRecognizer:recognizer]; [recognizer release]; [super viewDidLoad]; } -(void)handleSwipeFrom:(UISwipeGestureRecognizer *)recognizer { NSLog(@"Swipe received."); } </code></pre> <p>I fixed this with adding four recognizers to the view but I'm curious to know why didn't it work as advertised in docs?</p> <pre><code>- (void)viewDidLoad { UISwipeGestureRecognizer *recognizer; recognizer = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleSwipeFrom:)]; [recognizer setDirection:(UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight)]; [[self view] addGestureRecognizer:recognizer]; [recognizer release]; recognizer = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleSwipeFrom:)]; [recognizer setDirection:(UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionUp)]; [[self view] addGestureRecognizer:recognizer]; [recognizer release]; recognizer = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleSwipeFrom:)]; [recognizer setDirection:(UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionDown)]; [[self view] addGestureRecognizer:recognizer]; [recognizer release]; recognizer = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleSwipeFrom:)]; [recognizer setDirection:(UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft)]; [[self view] addGestureRecognizer:recognizer]; [recognizer release]; [super viewDidLoad]; } -(void)handleSwipeFrom:(UISwipeGestureRecognizer *)recognizer { NSLog(@"Swipe received."); } </code></pre>
