iPhone - UIScrollView... detecting the coordinates of a touch [duplicate]

Question

Is it possible to detect where in a UIScrollView the finger touched?

I mean, suppose the user uses his finger in this way: taps and scroll, lifts the finger and again, taps and scroll, etc. Is it possible to know the CGPoint where the taps happened in relation to the self.view the scroller is in? The scroller occupies the whole self.view.

Thanks.

You can do it with gesture recognizers. For detect single tap location use UITapGestureRecognizer

UITapGestureRecognizer *tapRecognizer = [[[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(tapAction:)] autorelease];
[myScrollView addGestureRecognizer:tapRecognizer];

- (void)tapAction:(UITapGestureRecognizer*)sender{ 
    CGPoint tapPoint = [sender locationInView:myScrollView];
    CGPoint tapPointInView = [myScrollView convertPoint:tapPoint toView:self.view];
}

To convert that tapPoint to self.view you can use convertPoint:toView: method in UIView class
