UIView touch event in controller

You will have to add it through code. Try this:

    // 1.create UIView programmetically    var myView = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(100, 100, 100, 100))    // 2.add myView to UIView hierarchy    self.view.addSubview(myView)     // 3. add action to myView    let gesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "someAction:")    // or for swift 2 +    let gestureSwift2AndHigher = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action:  #selector (self.someAction (_:)))    self.myView.addGestureRecognizer(gesture)    func someAction(sender:UITapGestureRecognizer){            // do other task    }    // or for Swift 3    func someAction(_ sender:UITapGestureRecognizer){            // do other task    }    // or for Swift 4    @objc func someAction(_ sender:UITapGestureRecognizer){            // do other task    }    // update for Swift UI    Text("Tap me!")        .tapAction {             print("Tapped!")        }

Swift 4 / 5:

let gesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action:  #selector(self.checkAction))self.myView.addGestureRecognizer(gesture)@objc func checkAction(sender : UITapGestureRecognizer) {    // Do what you want}

Swift 3:

let gesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action:  #selector(self.checkAction(sender:)))self.myView.addGestureRecognizer(gesture)func checkAction(sender : UITapGestureRecognizer) {    // Do what you want}

Updating @Crashalot's answer for Swift 3.x:

override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {    if let touch = touches.first {        let currentPoint = touch.location(in: self)        // do something with your currentPoint    }}override func touchesMoved(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {    if let touch = touches.first {        let currentPoint = touch.location(in: self)        // do something with your currentPoint    }}override func touchesEnded(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {    if let touch = touches.first {        let currentPoint = touch.location(in: self)        // do something with your currentPoint    }}
