[SOLVED] Pass Parameter with UITapGestureRecognizer

Pass Parameter with UITapGestureRecognizer

Is there any way i can pass parameters with UITapGestureRecognizer? I've seen this answered for objective-c but couldn't find an answer for swift

test.userInteractionEnabled = true
let tapRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector("imageTapped4:"))
// Something like text.myParamater
test.addGestureRecognizer(tapRecognizer)

And then receive myParameter under func imageTapped4(){}

Solution

One approach would be to subclass UITapGestureRecognizer and then set a property, I've posted an example below. You could also do some check on the sender and check if equal to some tag, class, string, e.t.c

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var label1: UILabel!
    @IBOutlet weak var image: UIImageView!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
        image.userInteractionEnabled = true;
        let tappy = MyTapGesture(target: self, action: #selector(self.tapped(_:)))
        image.addGestureRecognizer(tappy)
        tappy.title = "val"
    }

    func tapped(sender : MyTapGesture) {
        print(sender.title)
        label1.text = sender.title
    }
}

class MyTapGesture: UITapGestureRecognizer {
    var title = String()
}

There are lots of examples on SO, have a look, good luck.
