Instance Method

gestureRecognizer(_:shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWith:)

Asks the delegate if two gesture recognizers should be allowed to recognize gestures simultaneously.

Declaration

optional func gestureRecognizer(_ gestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer, shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWith otherGestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer) -> Bool

Parameters

gestureRecognizer: An instance of a subclass of the abstract base class UIGestureRecognizer. This is the object sending the message to the delegate.
otherGestureRecognizer: An instance of a subclass of the abstract base class UIGestureRecognizer.

Return Value

true to allow both gestureRecognizer and otherGestureRecognizer to recognize their gestures simultaneously. The default implementation returns false—no two gestures can be recognized simultaneously.

Discussion

This method is called when recognition of a gesture by either gestureRecognizer or otherGestureRecognizer would block the other gesture recognizer from recognizing its gesture. Note that returning true is guaranteed to allow simultaneous recognition; returning false, on the other hand, is not guaranteed to prevent simultaneous recognition because the other gesture recognizer's delegate may return true.
