Table view doesn't scroll when I use gesture recognizer

Question

My app has a table view (with a scroll-into of course) and this view slides on and off with a gesture recognizer (like on the Facebook app).

If I use a button to slide [the table view onto the screen], it works fine but when I use a gesture recognizer, the table view can't be scrolled anymore.

Here is the code of gesture recognizer with the problem:

[self.view addGestureRecognizer:self.slidingViewController.panGesture];

Somebody have an idea?

Answer 1

Your gesture is probably preventing the scroll view gesture from working because by default only 1 gesture can be recognising at a time. Try adding yourself as the delegate of your gesture and implementing:

- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)otherGestureRecognizer
{
    return YES;
}

---

self.slidingViewController.panGesture.delegate = self;

also, add <UIGestureRecognizerDelegate> to the list of protocols you implement

Answer 2

I have used UIPangesture in my UItableview and to avoid this gesture I have used below delegate,

//This method helped me stopped up/down pangesture of UITableviewCell and allow only vertical scroll
override func gestureRecognizerShouldBegin(gestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer) -> Bool {
    if let panGestureRecognizer = gestureRecognizer as? UIPanGestureRecognizer {
        let translation = panGestureRecognizer.translationInView(superview)
        if fabs(translation.x) > fabs(translation.y) {
            return true
        }
        return false
    }
    return false
}

Here is the swift version:

func gestureRecognizer(gestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer, shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer otherGestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer) -> Bool {
    return true
}
