adding a UILabel as subview of UIButton doesn't trigger button action

Question

I have a UIButton and I am adding a subview to the UIButton which is a UILabel. When I tap on the UILabel the action of the button doesn't get triggered. Is there an easy fix so that the touch event gets passed to the UIButton when the UILabel is tapped?
I am thinking of adding a gesture recognizer to the UILabel which then triggers the action of the UIButton, not sure if there's a much more simpler way.

Answer 1

You can probably just disable user interaction to your label.

_yourLabel.userInteractionEnabled = NO;

Answer 2

try this,

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    UIButton *firstButton=[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
    [firstButton setTitle:@"first" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    firstButton.frame=CGRectMake(40, 70, 80, 80);
    [firstButton addTarget:self action:@selector(firstButtonClicked) forControlEvents: UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    [self.view addSubview:firstButton];

    UILabel *label=[[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 80, 80)];
    label.text=@"hai";
    label.backgroundColor=[UIColor redColor];
    [firstButton addSubview:label];

}

-(void)firstButtonClicked {
    NSLog(@"first");
}
