If you want Objective C code is given below   UITapGestureRecognizer  gesRecognizer     UITapGestureRecognizer alloc  initWithTarget self action  selector handleTap        Declare the Gesture  gesRecognizer delegate   self   yourView addGestureRecognizer gesRecognizer      Add Gesture to your view      Declare the Gesture Recognizer handler method   -  void handleTap  UITapGestureRecognizer   gestureRecognizer     NSLog   Tapped        or you want swift code is given below   import UIKit class ViewController  UIViewController         IBOutlet weak var myView  UIView       override func viewDidLoad             super viewDidLoad               Add tap gesture recognizer to view         let tapGesture   UITapGestureRecognizer target  self  action  Selector  handleTap             myView addGestureRecognizer tapGesture                this method is called when a tap is recognized     func handleTap sender  UITapGestureRecognizer             print  tap

You need to initialize UITapGestureRecognizer with a target and action  like so   let tap   UITapGestureRecognizer target  self  action   selector self handleTap       myView addGestureRecognizer tap    Then  you should implement the handler  which will be called each time when a tap event occurs    objc func handleTap   sender  UITapGestureRecognizer    nil           handling code     So now calling your tap gesture recognizer event handler is as easy as calling a method   handleTap

I wanted to specify two points which kept causing me problems     I was creating the Gesture Recognizer on init and storing it in a let property  Apparently  adding this gesture recog to the view does not work  May be self object passed to the gesture recognizer during init  is not properly configured   The gesture recognizer should not be added to views with zero frames  I create all my views with zero frame and then resize them using autolayout  The gesture recognizers have to be added AFTER the views have been resized by the autolayout engine  So I add the gesture recognizer in viewDidAppear and they work
