I have scrollView added in xib & i am adding an imageview to it programmatically.Now I am not able to detect touch event on this imageview though i have enabled userinteraction for imageview.Actually I want to use the location where the imageview was touched.
Hey ! I have found a solution for that. Just make another class as a subclass of UIImageView
and write all your touches method there.They will be invoked

The question is very simple, how to enable scroll and zoom inside a UIScrollView in tvOS?
I tried the same initializer code from iOS and returned the scrollview for the focusedView var, but nothing happens when i touch the remote.
Also, i tried to add another custom UIPanGestureRecognizer to the scrollview and actually it works, but i don't want to handle the pan with custom code, just use the same pan behavior like iOS.
Let me know, thanks.
You can configure the scroll view's built-in pan gesture to recognize touches on the Siri Remote. It doesn't do that automatically, because normally scroll views on tvOS aren't scrolled directly by touches: they're scrolled automatically as focus moves between views within the scroll view.
If you really want the scroll view to move directly from touches, you'll need to add UITouchTypeIndirect to the allowedTouchTypes of the scroll view's panGestureRecognizer:
scrollView.panGestureRecognizer.allowedTouchTypes = #[ #(UITouchTypeIndirect) ];
You'll also need to make sure that either the scroll view itself is the focused view, or is a parent of the focused view, since all touches from the remote will start at the center of the focused view: you need to make sure the scroll view is getting hit-tested for the events to work.
Zooming won't work, because the Siri Remote can only recognize one touch at a time, so you can't do a pinch gesture on it.
Swift 4 version (from here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/41000183/945247)
scrollView.panGestureRecognizer.allowedTouchTypes = [NSNumber(value:UITouchType.indirect.rawValue)]
i want to animate a change to the image used when displaying my mkannotationview.
i know that uiimageview allows for animating its image, but the mkannotationview is just a uiview with an image property.
i also realize that i could override the drawrect method of mkannnotationview, and fully customize the way the pin is displayed/updated, but i'd like to avoid that if possible, and simply animate the change of the image property.
is this possible, or is the drawrect approach my only option?
thanks
a timer could be used to change the image property on a set interval, or - you could subclass the annotation view and add your own uiimageview to the view hierarchy, and expose the uiimageview as a property.
I have UiTableView containing some data, and I want to scroll the UiTableViewCells horizontally to the left or right to show some UiButtons that act some action relatif to the content of the cell.
How Can I do this?
I'm thinking in creating custom cell, and putting a scrollView in it, May this did the trick?
There is a tutorial for this at http://idevrecipes.com/2011/04/14/how-does-the-twitter-iphone-app-implement-side-swiping-on-a-table/ with sample code. He is using a UISwipeGestureRecognizer to trigger an animation that pushes the cell off the screen.
You could use a swipe gesture recognizer attached to your cell.
You can add a UIScrollView to the contentView of a UITableViewCell. If you want to scroll the content using buttons, simply overlay the UIScrollView with buttons and make them call the various scrolling methods of UIScrollView.
Nested UIScrollView (UITableView inherits from UIScrollView) are quite clever about detecting touch conflicts and resolving the users intended gesture.
https://github.com/JonasGessner/JGScrollableTableViewCell might be what you're looking for. It implements this using a UIScrollView inside the cell (just like the iOS 7 mail app).
(Yes the answer is a bit late, but it's never too late! :P)
For an iPad app I am writing I have a container UIView with two subview that are UIView subclasses:
A UIImageView whose image has a portion of it cut away to reveal what is below it.
A UIButton below the UIImageView that is revealed through the cut away portion of the UIImageView.
Since the UIImageView overlaps the UIButton spatially it is preventing touches from reaching the UIButton even though the UIButon is fully visible due to the alpha matte cutout in the UIImageView. How do I allow the UIImageView to pass touches to it's sibling UIButton?
Thanks,
Doug
UIImageView usually won't block touches, UIViews do.
You can set the userInteractionEnabled property on the overlapping views to NO, then touches should go through them.
An other approach would be writing a custom hitTest that redirects the thouches to the button.
In addition to Bastian's answer it was also necessary for me to uncheck the Opaque drawing attribute in interface builder for my UIImageView
Even with user interaction enabled, which is the default value when placing a UIImageView in Interface Builder, the touches should pass through to your button underneath, even if your image view has a solid background. Something else must be going on like a UIView sitting on top of the button.
If you are trying to do something more complex to get touches to pass through to underlying views or a separate view controller whose view is underneath, I created this simple open source library:
https://github.com/natrosoft/NATouchThroughView
The REAMDE and demo show how to use it.
I created UIImageView with the help of Interface Bulder. Now I want to place label inside it (as its subview). In code I can type something like: [myUIImageView addSubview:myUILabel]; But can I do it with the help of IB? I found the solution for UIView, but can't find something similar for UIImageView.
You cannot add a subview to UIImageView in interface builder for reasons only known to Apple! You are right in saying that you can addSubview programmatically, but then, the overhead of setting autoresizing masks and placements of subviews should all be handled in code, which is cumbersome.
So there is an easy workaround. Instead of dragging an instance of UIImageView in the nib, just drag a UIView and change its class to UIImageView from UIView (cmd+4 option of inspector). The only difference you find in the nib for default imageView instance and your new UIImageView subclass instance is: you cannot set image to your new imageView from nib (cmd+1 option). So, in the -viewDidLoad method of its appropriate viewController, set image to this outlet of UIImageView.
By doing so, you are free to add subviews to your "now UIImageView" instances in interface builder, which is much easy.
I would like to add answer.
While it sucks you cannot add subview to UIImageView, you can get the same effect by incorporating UIView with transparent (clear color) background.
Then put the UIImageview BEFORE it.
So the UIView has the subviews and the UIImageview is the background of the UIView.
I think that's apple's intent.
Here is a screenshot:
Here is the result:
Don't forget to set background as clear color
Now if someone could actually point me to a tutorial how to do this it'll be great. I spent hours doing it the checked answered way. The checked answer is a fine answer but very unintuitive because you can't see your background image clearly while working. I think mine is the proper way to do so.
In latest XCode(4.5) there is an option to drag and drop the required controls to the parent.
It is quite easy.
Attached screen shot for the same. I dragged the Label/TextField and Button to UIImageView
Use this code:
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"background.png"];
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
[self.view insertSubview:imageView atIndex:0];
(replace background.png with image) (replace atIndex:0 with whatever place in the .index root you want to insert the image and your off.
