I need to detect shake gesture in iOS. I have done the usual stuff and it works perfectly fine. The thing is I have multiple view controllers in UITabBarController and I wish each of them to detect the shake gesture.
When shaking in any of the view controller , I get switched to a particular tab. The problem is if I shake in one view controller and try to shake in other controller the gesture is not detected unless some action is performed in that controller.
I know I need to set becomeFirstResponder but I need to know how can this property be set to the current tab of the UITabBarController so that the shake gesture is recognised by all tabs.
Write the code for detection (usually via a notification observer for shake) in a base view controller and and all the controller will subclass from this. Now you can write the code to move the particular tab in this base controller.
Problem solved.
