Detect sliding up gesture on iOS

Question

Which gesture am I looking to capture if I want to detect when the user slides his/her finger upwards (think of scrubbing through a song, that kind of motion, but up) and adjust a setting as a result (I don't want to use a UISlider).

What would you guys recommend for this? Is that a pan gesture recognizer or a swipe?

Answer 1

Try this:

UISwipeGestureRecognizer *swipeRecognizer = 
[[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc]
 initWithTarget:self 
 action:@selector(swipeDetected)];
swipeRecognizer.direction = UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionUp;
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:swipeRecognizer];
