After a day of pizzas, screamings, I finally found the solution! Very neat!
Peter, I used your trick above and tweaked it a little bit to finally have a solution which work perfectly with MKMapView and should work also with UIWebView
MKTouchAppDelegate.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@class UIViewTouch;
@class MKMapView;
@interface MKTouchAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {
UIWindow *window;
UIViewTouch *viewTouch;
MKMapView *mapView;
}
@property (nonatomic, retain) UIViewTouch *viewTouch;
@property (nonatomic, retain) MKMapView *mapView;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
@end
MKTouchAppDelegate.m
#import "MKTouchAppDelegate.h"
#import "UIViewTouch.h"
#import <MapKit/MapKit.h>
@implementation MKTouchAppDelegate
@synthesize window;
@synthesize viewTouch;
@synthesize mapView;
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
//We create a view wich will catch Events as they occured and Log them in the Console
viewTouch = [[UIViewTouch alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
//Next we create the MKMapView object, which will be added as a subview of viewTouch
mapView = [[MKMapView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
[viewTouch addSubview:mapView];
//And we display everything!
[window addSubview:viewTouch];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
}
- (void)dealloc {
[window release];
[super dealloc];
}
@end
UIViewTouch.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@class UIView;
@interface UIViewTouch : UIView {
UIView *viewTouched;
}
@property (nonatomic, retain) UIView * viewTouched;
- (UIView *)hitTest:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event;
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event;
- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event;
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event;
- (void)touchesCancelled:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event;
@end
UIViewTouch.m
#import "UIViewTouch.h"
#import <MapKit/MapKit.h>
@implementation UIViewTouch
@synthesize viewTouched;
//The basic idea here is to intercept the view which is sent back as the firstresponder in hitTest.
//We keep it preciously in the property viewTouched and we return our view as the firstresponder.
- (UIView *)hitTest:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
NSLog(@"Hit Test");
viewTouched = [super hitTest:point withEvent:event];
return self;
}
//Then, when an event is fired, we log this one and then send it back to the viewTouched we kept, and voilà!!! :)
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
NSLog(@"Touch Began");
[viewTouched touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
}
- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
NSLog(@"Touch Moved");
[viewTouched touchesMoved:touches withEvent:event];
}
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
NSLog(@"Touch Ended");
[viewTouched touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event];
}
- (void)touchesCancelled:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
NSLog(@"Touch Cancelled");
}
@end
I hope that will help some of you!
Cheers
