My app displays the price of something when it boots and I have the list of currencies hidden. When the user taps the price, I want to it reveal the list of currencies hidden below and then hide them again after one is selected. Can't figure out how though, not finding any Swift code for a tap gesture recogniser? I'm you could just do something like priceLabel.isTappedUp = blah blah, years ago, maybe it was Objec C. Any ideas?
Code below:
class ViewController: UIViewController, UIPickerViewDelegate, UIPickerViewDataSource {
let baseURL = "https://apiv2.bitcoinaverage.com/indices/global/ticker/BTC" // API
let currencyArray = ["AUD", "BRL","CAD","CNY","EUR","GBP","HKD","IDR","ILS","INR","JPY","MXN","NOK","NZD","PLN","RON","RUB","SEK","SGD","USD","ZAR"] // List of currencies
let currencySymbolArray = ["$", "R$", "$", "¥", "€", "£", "$", "Rp", "₪", "₹", "¥", "$", "kr", "$", "zł", "lei", "₽", "kr", "$", "$", "R"] // Currency symbols
var currencySelected = ""
var finalURL = ""
// Pre-setup IBOutlets
@IBOutlet weak var priceLabel: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var currencyPicker: UIPickerView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
currencyPicker.delegate = self
currencyPicker.dataSource = self
currencyPicker.selectRow(5, inComponent:0, animated:false) // Select default currency choice to £
// Print out the default row price
finalURL = baseURL + currencyArray[5]
print(finalURL)
currencySelected = currencySymbolArray[5]
getBitcoinData(url: finalURL)
currencyPicker.isHidden = true
priceLabel.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
}
// Number of columns
func numberOfComponents(in pickerView: UIPickerView) -> Int {
return 1
}
// Number of rows
func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, numberOfRowsInComponent component: Int) -> Int {
return currencyArray.count // Number of rows = the amount in currency array
}
// Row Title
func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, titleForRow row: Int, forComponent component: Int) -> String? {
return currencyArray[row]
}
func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, didSelectRow row: Int, inComponent component: Int) {
finalURL = baseURL + currencyArray[row]
print(finalURL)
currencySelected = currencySymbolArray[row]
getBitcoinData(url: finalURL)
}
You can try gesture
let tapRound = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.handleTap(_:)))
priceLabel.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
priceLabel.addGestureRecognizer(tapRound)
//
@objc func handleTap(_ sender: UITapGestureRecognizer? = nil)
{
self.currencyPicker.isHidden = false
}
