Is is possible to click an imageView and open a new View Controller?

I'm new to IOS and learning the IDE at the moment. I was wondering if its possible to link an imageView, when clicked, to a View Controller

Solution

  • Sure. First, in viewDidLoad of your UIViewController make it tappable:

    imageView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true

    Then assign the gesture recognizer:

    imageView.addGestureRecognizer(UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.imageTap)))

    Once the action is triggered, perform a transition to a new VC:

    // Func in your UIViewController
@objc func imageTap() {
    // present modally
    self.present(YourNewViewController())
    // or push to the navigation stack
    self.navigationController?.push(YourNewViewController())
    // or perform segue if you use storyboards
    self.preformSegue(...)
}
