How to make a UILabel clickable?
Have you tried to set isUserInteractionEnabled to true on the tripDetails label? This should work.
Swift 3 Update
Replace
Selector("tapFunction:")with
#selector(DetailViewController.tapFunction)Example:
class DetailViewController: UIViewController { @IBOutlet weak var tripDetails: UILabel! override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() ... let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(DetailViewController.tapFunction)) tripDetails.isUserInteractionEnabled = true tripDetails.addGestureRecognizer(tap) } @objc func tapFunction(sender:UITapGestureRecognizer) { print("tap working") }}
SWIFT 4 Update
@IBOutlet weak var tripDetails: UILabel! override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(GameViewController.tapFunction)) tripDetails.isUserInteractionEnabled = true tripDetails.addGestureRecognizer(tap)}@objc func tapFunction(sender:UITapGestureRecognizer) { print("tap working")}
