tap gesture recognizer - which object was tapped?

Question

I'm new to gesture recognizers so maybe this question sounds silly: I'm assigning tap gesture recognizers to a bunch of UIViews. In the method is it possible to find out which of them was tapped somehow or do I need to find it out using the point that was tapped on screen?

for (NSUInteger i=0; i<42; i++) {         float xMultiplier=(i)%6;         float yMultiplier= (i)/6;         float xPos=xMultiplier*imageWidth;         float yPos=1+UA_TOP_WHITE+UA_TOP_BAR_HEIGHT+yMultiplier*imageHeight;         UIView *greyRect=[[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(xPos, yPos, imageWidth, imageHeight)];         [greyRect setBackgroundColor:UA_NAV_CTRL_COLOR];          greyRect.layer.borderColor=[UA_NAV_BAR_COLOR CGColor];         greyRect.layer.borderWidth=1.0f;         greyRect.userInteractionEnabled=YES;         [greyGridArray addObject:greyRect];         [self.view addSubview:greyRect];         NSLog(@"greyGrid: %i: %@", i, greyRect);          //make them touchable         UITapGestureRecognizer *letterTapRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(highlightLetter)];         letterTapRecognizer.numberOfTapsRequired = 1;         [greyRect addGestureRecognizer:letterTapRecognizer];     } 

Answer 1

Define your target selector(highlightLetter:) with argument as

UITapGestureRecognizer *letterTapRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(highlightLetter:)]; 

Then you can get view by

- (void)highlightLetter:(UITapGestureRecognizer*)sender {      UIView *view = sender.view;       NSLog(@"%d", view.tag);//By tag, you can find out where you had tapped.  }
