Question

i have 5 animating image in a image view and will like to allow user to tap on them base on the default ID and push it to another view. i tried to add in gesture tap but the imageview are not detecting.

can anybody give me some advise ?

viewDidLoad

self.defaultID = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"7",@"9",@"11",@"27",@"6",nil];
self.defaultImageCaption = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"Ver",@"Green",@"Red",@"CF",@"Dwarf",nil];

//default image
imageViewTop.alpha = 1.0;
imageViewBottom.alpha = 0.0;
imageViewBottom = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,44,320,367)];
imageViewTop = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,44,320,367)];

singleDefaultTap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc]initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleDefaultTap:)];
singleDefaultTap.numberOfTouchesRequired = 1;
imageViewTop.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
[imageViewTop addGestureRecognizer:singleDefaultTap];
imageViewTop.tag = 2000;

UIView *topView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,44,320,367)];
[topView addSubview:imageViewTop];
[self.view addSubview:imageViewTop];
[self.view addSubview:topView];
[self.view addSubview:imageViewBottom];

[self nextAnimation]

-(void)nextAnimation{

//picture loop
imageViewTop.image = imageViewBottom.image;
imageViewBottom.image = [imageArray objectAtIndex:[imageArray count] - 1];

[imageArray insertObject:imageViewBottom.image atIndex:0];
[imageArray removeLastObject];
imageViewTop.alpha = 1.0;
imageViewBottom.alpha = 0.0;

[UIView animateWithDuration:4.0
                 animations:^{ 
                     imageViewTop.alpha = 0.0;
                     imageViewBottom.alpha = 1.0;
                     } 
                 completion:^(BOOL  completed){
                     [self nextAnimation:stringsize.width];
                 }
 ];

I would add a transparent view on top of the image view and add a gesture recognizer to that.
