UITextView interferes scrolling of UIScrollView

The problem I am encountering now is that there is a UITextView component in UIScrollView and that UITextView component will interfere the scrolling of UIScrollView, i.e. when a user's finger is on that UITextView to scroll the whole UIScrollView, the screen won't scroll. The content in the UITextView is dynamic, i.e. the size of UITextView component is dynamic. The worst case is the whole screen is occupied by the UITextView and users won't be able to scroll the screen at all.

The UITextView is disabled for editing. I choose UITextView instead of UILabel because I want to detect phone number & link in the supplied text and utilize the built-in function to invoke dialer and browser when users click the phone number or link.

Any suggestion about how I can solve this problem or any clue about why this happens are all appreciated! Thanks.

Apart from the property scrollEnabled, you also have the property userInterationEnabled that disable(if you set it to FALSE/NO) any touch events on the view (scrolling included, of course). Hope it helps, specially for other situations cos in your case it makes the same effect as disabling the scroll.

If you are using a storyboard or nib file, select your UITextView and uncheck Scrolling Enabled in Interface Builder.

Uncheck Scrolling Enabled

Otherwise, do this:

textView.scrollEnabled = NO;

UITextView inherits from UIScroll view so it has a property scrollEnabled. Just put it to false!
