gestureRecognizers

Declaration

var gestureRecognizers: [UIGestureRecognizer] { get }

Discussion

The objects in the gestureRecognizers array each descend from the UIGestureRecognizer class. You can attach these gesture recognizers to the view you use to represent a document. For example, if you represent a document by name or icon in a table view cell , you can attach a document interaction controller’s gesture recognizers using code like this:

cell.contentView.gestureRecognizers = self.docInteractionController.gestureRecognizers;

(In this statement, the cell object is an instance of the UITableViewCell class and the docInteractionController instance variable points to the document interaction controller for the document named in the cell.)

With gesture recognizers so attached, a user gesture automatically initiates the appropriate action. A tap gestures initiates a preview of the associated document. A long press gesture displays the options menu relevant to the document.

The UIDocumentInteractionController class supports only the tap (UITapGestureRecognizer) and long press (UILongPressGestureRecognizer) gesture recognizers.
