UILabel set onClick

I'm building an application in Swift 3, so I want to call a function if I click on a particular UILabel, so I'm write this code but not works:

let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(ViewController.tapFunction))
    self.labelTemp.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
    self.labelTemp.addGestureRecognizer(tap)

How can I render UILabel clickable ?

Set user interaction enabled for the UILabel and add the below code in the viewDidLoad()

self.label.isUserInteractionEnabled = true

let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.labelTapped))
self.label.addGestureRecognizer(tap)

Add the tap action function as below :

@objc func labelTapped(_ gestureRecognizer: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
    print("Label clicked")
}

Please make user that there is no other transparent view overlapping the UILabel in the view. If the UILabel is a part of another view then please make sure that the container View's user interaction is enabled.

Hope this helps.

  1. First you need to add Tap Gesture into storyboard enter image description here

  2. Create Action of that particular gesture

    override func viewDidLoad() {

            super.viewDidLoad()

        let tapOnLabel = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.tapGestireAction))
        self.labelTemp.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
        self.labelTemp.addGestureRecognizer(tapOnLabel)
    }


  @IBAction func tapGestureAction(_ sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {

        //Perform action
    }

Please ensure that You have connected the outlet to UILabel because I have created simple demo code by copy-paste your code and it is worked as expected.

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(tapFunction))
    self.labelTemp.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
    self.labelTemp.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
}

@objc func tapFunction() {
    print("tapFunction")
}

I suggest, Please remove UILabel from UIViewController and add it again.

Download sample code

Note: - Please ensure that user-interaction of UILabelis enabled

You are lacking a function to trigger when the gesture touch is recognized. You need to add following:

let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(tapFunction(_:)))
    self.labelTemp.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
    self.labelTemp.addGestureRecognizer(tap)

@objc func tapFunction(_ gestureRecognizer: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
    // handle label tap here    
}

Your selector should be an @objc func within self.

<#YourLabel#>.addGestureRecognizer(UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.handleLabelTap)))

And when the user taps the label it will trigger:

@objc func handleLabelTap() {
    // handle label tap here    
}
