UIScrollView overrides my subview's pan gesture recognizers

Question

If I have a scrollView with a subview and the subview has a pan gesture recognizer, the scrollView's pan gesture override's the subview's pan. What I want is the opposite, I think, so that is I drag a subview it will pan within the scroll view, yet if I touch another area the scroll view will pan as normal. Is there an easy way to set that up?

Answer 1

Here's what works for me:

UIPanGestureRecognizer *subviewPanRecognizer = [[UIPanGestureRecognizer alloc]
    initWithTarget:self action:@selector(panSubview:)];
[subview addGestureRecognizer:subviewPanRecognizer];

// play nice with subview's pan gesture
[scrollView.panGestureRecognizer 
    requireGestureRecognizerToFail:subviewPanRecognizer];

Answer 2

Set canCancelContentTouches property of UIScrollView to false if you don't want to scroll on touching subviews.
