ios - Close subview when the parent view is touched -

i have parentview , subview childview. childview positioned in middle of parentview , half it's size.

i want close childview when user tap on parentview.

my code follows creates uitapgesturerecognizer in parentview once childview open.

my problem tap event triggered when user touches view, not parentview.

thus, wondering how can make event happen if parentview touched or other possible close sub view if parent touched.

- (ibaction)selectroutine:(id)sender {     uistoryboard *storyboard = [uistoryboard storyboardwithname:@"storyboard" bundle:nil];      createroutinepopupviewcontroller* popupcontroller = [storyboard instantiateviewcontrollerwithidentifier:@"createroutinepopupview"];      popupcontroller.view.center = cgpointmake(self.view.bounds.size.width / 2, self.view.bounds.size.height / 2);     _ass = popupcontroller;     //tell operating system createroutine view controller     //is becoming child:     [self addchildviewcontroller:popupcontroller];      //add target frame self's view:     [self.view addsubview:popupcontroller.view];      //tell operating system view controller has moved:     [popupcontroller didmovetoparentviewcontroller:self];      uitapgesturerecognizer *singletap = [[uitapgesturerecognizer alloc] initwithtarget:self action:@selector(handlesingletap:)];      [singletap setnumberoftapsrequired:1];      [self.view addgesturerecognizer:singletap];  } -(void) handlesingletap: (id) sender {     nslog(@"test string"); } 

you need use uigesturerecognizerdelegate , implement following method.

it check touched view.

- (bool)gesturerecognizer:(uigesturerecognizer *)gesturerecognizer shouldreceivetouch:(uitouch *)touch {     if( [touch view] != popupcontroller.view)         return yes;      return no; }
