change the color of uiview when pressed/released












0















Is there a way to change color of the uiview when pressed and released.



I tried it using touchesBegan and touchesEnded by overriding it but it effected the existing functionality. so without effecting the existing functionality can we achieve it ?

  • What does this view do? Maybe you should be using a UIButton instead.

You can use UIGestureRecognizer to detect touch events on your view. Please refer below links for more info.



https://www.raywenderlich.com/433-uigesturerecognizer-tutorial-getting-started
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uipangesturerecognizer



Example:



let myView = UIView()
let gesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(tapEventDetected(gesture:)))
myView.addGestureRecognizer(gesture)

@objc func tapEventDetected(gesture:UITapGestureRecognizer){

if gesture.state == .began{

//Set touch began color
}

if gesture.state = .ended{

//Set touch ended color
}
}


Thanks!
