I'd like to run the code in the longPressGesture every 0.5 seconds while the button is being held down. Any ideas on how to implement this?
import SwiftUI
struct ViewName: View {
var body: some View {
VStack {
Button(action: { } ) {
Image(systemName: "chevron.left")
.onTapGesture {
//Run code for tap gesture here
}
.onLongPressGesture (minimumDuration: 0.5) {
//Run this code every 0.5 seconds
}
}
}
}
You can do this by using timer. Make the timer starts when the user long pressed the image, and if the timer reaches 0, you can add two actions: 1. resetting the timer back to 0.5 seconds and 2.code you want to run every 0.5 seconds
struct ContentView: View {
@State var timeRemaining = 0.5
let timer = Timer.publish(every: 0.5, on: .main, in: .common).autoconnect()
@State var userIsPressing = false //detecting whether user is long pressing the screen
var body: some View {
VStack {
Image(systemName: "chevron.left").onReceive(self.timer) { _ in
if self.userIsPressing == true {
if self.timeRemaining > 0 {
self.timeRemaining -= 0.5
}
//resetting the timer every 0.5 secdonds and executing code whenever //timer reaches 0
if self.timeRemaining == 0 {
print("execute this code")
self.timeRemaining = 0.5
}
}
}.gesture(LongPressGesture(minimumDuration: 0.5)
.onChanged() { _ in
//when longpressGesture started
self.userIsPressing = true
}
.onEnded() { _ in
//when longpressGesture ended
self.userIsPressing = false
}
)
}
}
}
