In iOS - When touching a text field in a scroll view the view can not scroll

Question

When trying to scroll a view by touching and dragging on a text field, similarly to how you would scroll around on the edit contacts view on the iPhone, the view will not move, touching and dragging in between the text fields or off to the side of the text fields in the scroll view works but not when touching a textfield.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

Try setting the delaysContentTouches property to YES for the UIScrollView to which you have added to text field. This should allow you to scroll if you touch and then drag within a text field.
