I am new to iPhone Developer,

I want to detect touch in my webview so i tried this but this method is not getting fired,

in .h file 

@interface EpubReaderViewController : UIViewController

in .m file 

... 
- (void)sendEvent:(UIEvent *)event{
    NSLog(@"Touch detected") ;   
}
...

Even i tried this also,

- (void) touchesBegan:(NSSet*)touches withEvent:(UIEvent*)event {
    NSLog(@"Touches began");
}

Thanks In Advance !

User is going to zoom in and zoom out on the website, as well as touch to click hpyerlinks etc. That'w shy touch methods won't respond for UIWebView.

If you want to enable touch, you might need to subclass UIWebview while it is forbidded in developer docs, check following threads for more discussion-

  • Subclassing is not a good option as i had mentioned earlier as well.It is mentioned in the developer docs as well. You can try this which is in one of threads above - http://mithin.in/2009/08/26/detecting-taps-and-events-on-uiwebview-the-right-way/ – rishi Jun 29 '12 at 09:52
  • the link which you have provide that uses `(void)sendEvent:(UIEvent *)event` and this method is deprecated after iOS 5.0 and i am using iOS 5.1 – ketansahasrabudhe Jun 29 '12 at 10:00
