I'm wondering how to track touches anywhere on the iPhone screen and still have UIButtons respond to taps.
I subclassed a UIView, made it full screen and the highest view in the hierarchy, and overrode its pointInside:withEvent method. If I return YES, I'm able to track touches anywhere on the screen but the buttons don't respond (likely because the view is instructed to handle and terminate the touch). If I return NO, the touch passes through the view and the buttons respond, but I'm not able to track touches.
Do I need to subclass UIButton or is this possible through the responder chain? What am I doing wrong?
- (BOOL)pointInside:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event{
return NO;
}
//only works if pointInside:withEvent: returns YES.
-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event{
NSLog(@"began");
[self.nextResponder touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
}
//only works if pointInside:withEvent: returns YES.
-(void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event{
NSLog(@"end");
[self.nextResponder touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event];
}
