UIButton with two state - touch and long touch

Question

I'd like to make a button perform different methods, depending on if the user taps or does a long tap.

I've tried:

UILongPressGestureRecognizer *longPress = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(doRewind)];
[uiNextButton addGestureRecognizer:longPress];
[longPress release];

But the app registers my touch only when I touch the button and move the finger a little bit.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

If you are setting both a "normal" tap and a "long" tap gesture, there could be interactions between the two of them.

Have you tried setting the minimumPressDuration property for UILongPressGestureRecognizer?

Also, using requireGestureRecognizerToFail: can be useful to make one of the two gesture handler fire only if the other one did not.

Have a look at the relevant document for those two methods.

If this does not help, please, give more details about your view and all the gesture handlers you are defining.
