UITapGestureRecognizer action not being triggered; userInteractionEnabled already set to YES

My program basically looks like this:

UIViewController -> Custom UIView -> [Array of UIImageView]

My problem is that my recognizer's action method is never called. I've already set the userInteractionEnabled attribute of my UIImageViews to YES.

On my View Controller's viewDidLoad:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    NSEnumerator *enumerator = [grid.subviews objectEnumerator];
    UIImageView *view;
    UITapGestureRecognizer *recognizer;

    while((view = [enumerator nextObject])){
        recognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(openDeal:)];

        view.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
        recognizer.delegate = self;
        recognizer.numberOfTapsRequired = 1;
        [view addGestureRecognizer:recognizer];
        NSLog(@"%d", (int)view.userInteractionEnabled);
        [recognizer release];
    }
    [super viewDidLoad];
}

and openDeal is defined as such:

-(void) openDeal:(UITapGestureRecognizer *) recognizer{
    NSLog(@"%@",[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", recognizer.view.tag]);
}

I have just had the same issue.

At first, check the view property. If it is null after addGestureRecognizer, it did not work.

My problem was solved after I removed assignment to the delegate property.

So the code looks like:

{
    UITapGestureRecognizer *bmSingleTap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(bmSingleTap:)];
    bmSingleTap.numberOfTapsRequired = 1;
    //bmSingleTap.delegate = self;
    [bookmarkTapArea addGestureRecognizer:bmSingleTap];
    NSLog(@"tap: %@ %i", bmSingleTap.view, bmSingleTap.enabled);
}

Edit: By the way, later I wanted to reproduce this bmSingleTap.view==nil effect and could not. Probably, a clean rebuild would do the trick.

I had the same issue and later found out that I was assigning the same gesture recognizer instance to another view. Gesture recognizers can be associated to a single view only (you can verify that through UIGestureRecognizer's view property).

Make sure you are not reusing your recognizers somewhere else in the code.

Your while method looks odd? Are you sure it is running at all?

Try enumerating the subviews array as per below and see if it helps...

NSArray *subviewsArray = grid.subviews;
for (id imageView in subviewsArray)
{
    if ([imageView isKindOfClass:[UIImageView class]])
    {
     // run your code here
    }
}

First idea: Change your method to:

-(void) openDeal:(UIGestureRecognizer *) recognizer{
    NSLog(@"%@",[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", recognizer.view.tag]);
}
