I have a function that adds a UIImageView
to the View Controller every second, and I'm trying to make each of these image views draggable with UIPanGestureRecognizer
. However, I do not know how to detect which of the many image views is being dragged in my selector function. I don't want to have to use the touchesBegan(_:with:)
function along with the UIPanGestureRecognizer
because that could get messy. Any help would be appreciated.
Here is my code so far:
//Function that executes every second and adds imageView
@objc func addBalloonToDrag(){
var myImageView=UIImageView()
var fullWidth=Int(gameView.frame.width)
var fullHeight=Int(gameView.frame.height)
var widthMin=Int(gameView.frame.width*0.2)
var widthMax=Int(gameView.frame.width*0.3)
var randomWidth = 30
var countdownLabelHeight=Int(countdownTimer.frame.height)
var randomX=Int.random(in: 0...fullWidth-randomWidth)
var randomY=Int.random(in: countdownLabelHeight...fullHeight-randomWidth)
myImageView.frame=CGRect(x: randomX, y: randomY, width: randomWidth, height: randomWidth)
var moodBalloonNames=["mood1","mood2","mood4","mood5"]
var randomMoodBalloonInt=Int.random(in:0...moodBalloonNames.count)
var randomBalloonName=moodBalloonNames[randomMoodBalloonInt]
myImageView.image = UIImage(imageLiteralResourceName: "\(randomBalloonName)").withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
//adding pan gesture recognizer to the image view
var panGesture = UIPanGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(draggedView(_:)))
myImageView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
myImageView.addGestureRecognizer(panGesture)
gameView.addSubview(myImageView)
}
@objc func draggedView(_ sender:UIPanGestureRecognizer){
if (stopButton.titleLabel!.text == " Pause ")&&((totalSec != 0)||(totalMin != 0)){
let translation = sender.translation(in: self.view)
//How do I know which view to drag here?
viewDrag.center = CGPoint(x: viewDrag.center.x + translation.x, y: viewDrag.center.y + translation.y)
sender.setTranslation(CGPoint.zero, in: self.view)
}
}
You can see the panGestureRecognizer.view
as an imageView and then its image property.
