In the code below I am popping up a ImageView as the result of a users touchUpInside on a simple info button. There are other buttons on the view.

To dismiss the info I added a UITapGestureRecognizer to my controllers view, and hide the view when the tap is detected.

If I don't remove the tapGestureRecognizer, the action is called every time some.

Even when I do remove the gesture action, no bottons receive touchUpInside events once this gesture recognizer is added. Why?

Code from my MainViewController

• (void) dismissInfo: (UITapGestureRecognizer *)gesture { [kInfoView setHidden: YES]; [gesture removeTarget: self action: NULL]; }

• (IBAction) displayInfo {

  CGRect startFrame = CGRectMake(725, 25, 0, 0), origFrame; CGFloat yCenter = [kInfoView frame].size.height/2 + 200; CGPoint startCenter = CGPointMake(724, 25), displayCenter = CGPointMake(384, yCenter); UITapGestureRecognizer *g = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget: self action: @selector(dismissInfo:)];

  [self.view addGestureRecognizer: g]; origFrame = [kInfoView frame]; [kInfoView setCenter: startCenter]; [kInfoView setHidden: NO]; [kInfoView setFrame: startFrame];

  [UIView beginAnimations: @"info" context: nil]; [UIView setAnimationDuration: .5]; [UIView setAnimationDelegate: self];

  [kInfoView setFrame: origFrame]; [kInfoView setCenter: displayCenter];

  [UIView commitAnimations]; }
