UIGestureRecognizer movements restrictions


I want to know if there is a way to restrict the size or movements of the UIViews in the GestureRecognizers. Sure I could write my own restriction code but wana know if we can set some property or something to have some bound limits.



For example in UIPanGestureRecognizer I want to restrict the movement of the view added to PanGesture within a particular CGRect, so is there any way I can set that bounding rect so on sensing PanGesture if the view is going out of my bounding frame it wont allow it.

  1. as far as I am aware you have to write that yourself.

    tap gestures let you set how many taps you are responding to with how many fingers, but most of them do not provide a lot of helpers.

  2. I think the simplest way to accomplish this is to create an invisible view in that rect and add the gesture to it.
    Example:
    You want to detect the movement in view X inside the rect {a,b,c,d}.
    Create a UIView Y in the {a,b,c,d} rect. Set it's background color to clearColor.
    Create the gesture recognizer and add it to the Y view.
    In the gesture's selector do something like this:

    - (void) selector:(UIPanGestureRecognizer *) gesture
    {
    UIView *viewX = [self.view viewWithTag:kTagViewX];
    //now you know that the gesture took place and you have access to your view
    }


    If you need to change the rect in which you want the gesture to be active , just move the Y view and voila!

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
