UISlider problem - how to detect a user releasing the slider button in iOS?

Question

I can detect the value change event from the UISlider, but now I need to detect a user releasing the slider button.

How to detect this event (or touch on slider ends) ?

Should I use the "touch up inside" event for detection ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

You can also use the UISlider's UIControlEventValueChanged. Set the continuous property to NO as to initiate when the user is done selecting a value.

[mySlider addTarget:self action:@selector(myMethod) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
mySlider.continuous = NO;

Answer 2

I've not worked with sliders, however as UISlider inherits from UIView - surely you can just tap into touchesBegan: and touchesEnded: to perform your task.
