Question or problem in the Swift programming language:
i”m trying to implement a long press gesture recognizer on a WKWebView as follows:
var webView: WKWebView?
let longPressRecognizer = UILongPressGestureRecognizer()
override func loadView() {
super.loadView()
var webViewConfig: WKWebViewConfiguration = WKWebViewConfiguration()
webViewConfig.allowsInlineMediaPlayback = true
webViewConfig.mediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction = false
self.webView = WKWebView(frame: self.view.frame, configuration: webViewConfig)
self.view = self.webView!
//hook the long press event
longPressRecognizer.addTarget(self, action: "onLongPress:")
self.webView!.scrollView.addGestureRecognizer(longPressRecognizer)
}
func onLongPress(gestureRecognizer:UIGestureRecognizer){
NSLog("long press detected")
}
i don’t get an error but i cant seem to make it trigger the onLongPress function.
How to solve the problem:
You didn’t set the delegate of the gesture recognizer.
//hook the long press event longPressRecognizer.delegate = self longPressRecognizer.addTarget(self, action: "onLongPress:") self.webView!.scrollView.addGestureRecognizer(longPressRecognizer)
In case that it still doesn’t work, this may probably due to WKWebView already has its own gesture recognizers. Then add the following method to your class:
func gestureRecognizer(gestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer, shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer otherGestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer) -> Bool {
return true
}
And in your event method check for the gesture began:
func onLongPress(gestureRecognizer:UIGestureRecognizer){
if gestureRecognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerState.Began {
NSLog("long press detected")
}
}
