Swift: Long Press Gesture Recognizer - Detect Taps and Long Press

Swift: Long Press Gesture Recognizer - Detect taps and Long Press

Define two IBActions and set one Gesture Recognizer to each of them. This way you can perform two different actions for each gesture.

You can set each Gesture Recognizer to different IBActions in the interface builder.

@IBAction func tapped(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer)
{
    println("tapped")
    //Your animation code.
}

@IBAction func longPressed(sender: UILongPressGestureRecognizer)
{
    println("longpressed")
    //Different code
}

Through code without interface builder

let tapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "tapped:")
    self.view.addGestureRecognizer(tapGestureRecognizer)
    
let longPressRecognizer = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "longPressed:")
    self.view.addGestureRecognizer(longPressRecognizer)

func tapped(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer)
{
    println("tapped")
}

func longPressed(sender: UILongPressGestureRecognizer)
{
    println("longpressed")
}

Swift 5

let tapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(tapped))
self.view.addGestureRecognizer(tapGestureRecognizer)
    
let longPressRecognizer = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(longPressed))
self.view.addGestureRecognizer(longPressRecognizer)
    
@objc func tapped(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer){
    print("tapped")
}

@objc func longPressed(sender: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {
    print("longpressed")
}

Customize long press gesture recognizer

The answer from @nathan is essentially fine but a detail is missing you need to implement the UIGestureRecognizerDelegate to allow both gestures works simultaneously, so this is my code

class ViewController: UIViewController, UIGestureRecognizerDelegate{   

    override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.

    //this for .5 time
    let firstGesture = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(firstMethod))
    //this for 1.5
    let secondGesture = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(secondMethod))
    secondGesture.minimumPressDuration = 1.5
    firstGesture.delegate = self
    secondGesture.delegate = self
    self.view.addGestureRecognizer(firstGesture)
    self.view.addGestureRecognizer(secondGesture)

}

func firstMethod() {
    debugPrint("short")
}

func secondMethod() {
    debugPrint("long")
}

func gestureRecognizer(_ gestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer, shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWith otherGestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer) -> Bool{
    return true
}
}

Hope this help

How to get the button text if a long press gesture on the button is triggered in swift?

Do

@objc func clearBottom(sender: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) { 
    if sender.state == .ended {
       // how do I get the button text here? (i.e. "Item Name AAA")
       let button = sender.view as! UIButton
       print(button.titleLabel?.text)
    } 
}

Resolve UITapGestureRecognizer and UILongPressGestureRecognizer simultaneously and fire UIGestureRecognizer.State.began on finger touch down

I wonder if your implementation of shouldRequireFailureOf is causing an issue?

This works just fine for me (note: I used .minimumPressDuration = 0.25 because it's a little difficult to tap in under 0.1 seconds):

class GestureTestViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        setupTapGestures()
    }

    private func setupTapGestures() -> Void {

        let singleTapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(handleTapGesture(_:)))
        view.addGestureRecognizer(singleTapGesture)

        let longPressGesture = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(handleLongPressGesture(_:)))
        longPressGesture.minimumPressDuration = 0.25
        view.addGestureRecognizer(longPressGesture)

    }

    @objc func handleLongPressGesture(_ gesture: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) -> Void {
        if gesture.state == .began {
            print("Did Long Press (began)")
        }
        if gesture.state == .ended {
            print("Did Long Press (ended)")
        }
    }

    @objc func handleTapGesture(_ gesture: UITapGestureRecognizer) -> Void {
        print("Did Single Tap")
    }

}

When I tap, I get "Did Single Tap" in the debug console.

When I tap and hold, I quickly get "Did Long Press (began)", and on finger-lift I get "Did Long Press (ended)"

Using tap gesture and long press at the same time in Table View

UILongPressGestureRecognizer.state should be sender.state and UILongPressGesutreRecognizer.location should be sender.location. Also, the signature for indexPathForRowAtPoint() has been updated to indexPathForRow(at:).

Corrrected code:

@objc func handleLongPress(sender: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {
    if sender.state == .began {
        let touchPoint = sender.location(in: self.myTableView)
        if let indexPath = self.myTableView.indexPathForRow(at:touchPoint) {
            print(indexPath.row)
        }
    }
}

UILongPressGestureRecognizer is a class name, you need to be calling the class instance.

Create long press gesture recognizer with annotation pin

First of all in Swift 3 signature of CLLocationManagerDelegate method's locationManager(_:didUpdateLocations:) is changed, so you need to change that method as follow.

func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
     //your code and don't forgot to remove private
}

You can use longGesture with mapView like this, first addGestureRecognizer in your mapView in the viewDidLoad.

let longPressGesture = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(addAnnotationOnLongPress(gesture:)))
longPressGesture.minimumPressDuration = 1.0
self.mapView.addGestureRecognizer(longPressGesture)

Now add action for that UILongPressGestureRecognizer.

@objc func addAnnotationOnLongPress(gesture: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {

    if gesture.state == .ended {
        let point = gesture.location(in: self.mapView)
        let coordinate = self.mapView.convert(point, toCoordinateFrom: self.mapView)
        print(coordinate)
        //Now use this coordinate to add annotation on map.
        var annotation = MKPointAnnotation()
        annotation.coordinate = coordinate
        //Set title and subtitle if you want
        annotation.title = "Title" 
        annotation.subtitle = "subtitle" 
        self.mapView.addAnnotation(annotation)
    }
}

How to detect longpress in BarButtonitem

so I found that UIBarButton has not property like longpress so all I do is take a UIButton give it longpress gesture and add that UIButton in navigation bar as UIBarButtonItem.

I hope it will helpful for someone else who is facing same problem.

        let btn = UIButton(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 40, height: 40))
        btn.backgroundColor = .green
        
        let gesture = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(longpress))
        btn.addGestureRecognizer(gesture)
        
        let barbtn = UIBarButtonItem(customView: btn)
        self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = barbtn

thank you :)

How to run function when long press gesture detected and stopped?

I could solve my problem, hope it's useful for some of you:

@State private var isPressingDown: Bool = false

Image(systemName: "mic.circle")
        .resizable()
        .aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit)
        .frame(width: 70)
        .foregroundColor(Color.blue)
        .onLongPressGesture(minimumDuration: 0.3){
            self.isPressingDown = true
            print("started")
        }
        .simultaneousGesture(
            DragGesture(minimumDistance: 0)
                .onEnded{ _ in
                    if self.isPressingDown{
                        self.isPressingDown = false
                            print("ended")
                        }
                    }
            )
