How to add UITapGestureRecognizer to UIWebView?

Question

I'm trying to add UITapGestureRecognizer to my view with big UIWebView, but in works only if user tap not in UIWebView. How can I fix this? Thank you.

Answer 1

You can achieve this by implementing this method

- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer*)otherGestureRecognizer {
    return YES;
}

Answer 2

UIWebView has it's own tap handling for opening links etc., therefor it doesn't handle "your" touches. You should subclass WebView and override tap handling. Good example here.
