UIGestureRecognizer that cancels when touchup outside of targetView

Question

I have a UIView of which I want to know when the user is doing:

touchDownInside (to highlight the view)

touchUpInside (to confirm the action)

touchUpOutside (to cancel and reset the hightlight)

what gestureRecognizer can do this for me?

Answer 1

Please go though these four methods also which your view can override to handle the four distinct touch events:

1) finger or fingers touches the screen

-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet*)touches withEvent:(UIEvent*)event;

2)finger or fingers move across the screens(this message repeatedly as a finger moves.)

-(void)touchesMoved:(NSSet*)touches withEvent:(UIEvent*)event;

3)finger or fingers is removed from the screen

-(void)touchesEnded:(NSSet*)touches withEvent:(UIEvent*)event;

4) a system event,interrupts a touch before it ends

-(void)touchesCancelled:(NSSet*)touches withEvent:(UIEvent*)event;
