How to call a method when user keep pressing a button?

Question

Hi All,

I know how to call a method when a button pressed.

but, My problem is when a user keep pressing a button it has to call one method

-(void)keeppressed { }

where as it has to call another method called

-(void)justpressed { }

when user just taps the button

is there any solution?

Answer 1

Write a method x actually conatining the code you want to run, which is called from both.

Answer 2

There is UIGestureRecognizer which can handle taps and long presses. If this doesn't work for you (only available sind 3.2 IIRC), you should start a timer after the press and call keeppressed if it hasn't been released in meantime (wire up the actions for press and release / cancel).
