Is is possible to click an imageView and open a new View Controller?

Question

I'm new to IOS and learning the IDE at the moment. I was wondering if its possible to link an imageView, when clicked, to a View Controller

Answer 1

Sure. First, in viewDidLoad of your UIViewController make it tappable:

imageView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true

Then assign the gesture recognizer:

imageView.addGestureRecognizer(UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.imageTap)))

Once the action is triggered, perform a transition to a new VC:

// Func in your UIViewController
@objc func imageTap() {
    // present modally
    self.present(YourNewViewController())
    // or push to the navigation stack
    self.navigationController?.push(YourNewViewController())
    // or perform segue if you use storyboards
    self.preformSegue(...)
}

Answer 2

Yes. It is possible. You'll need to add a tap gesture recogniser to image view and in the function perform segue.

let singleTap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self,action:Selector(“imageTapped”))
yourImageView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
yourImageView.addGestureRecognizer(singleTap)

Function to handle Tap:

@objc func imageTapped() {
    performSegue(withIdentifier: "yourNextScreen", sender: "")
}

Answer 3

Yes. You can bind a tap gesture recognizer to your imageview. You can follow this link here on a previous answer on how to do it programmatically

You could do it completely in the interface builder by putting a UIButton, with a transparent background and no text, over the ImageView and then control drag the button to the viewcontroller you want to trigger a segue on touch.

Answer 4

Of course it is. You should add a UITapGestureRecognizer to the UIImageView and add a selector to trigger the pushing a new viewcontroller method.

For example;

@IBOutlet weak var imageView: UIImageView! {
    didSet {
        let imageTapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(imageTapped))
        imageView.addGestureRecognizer(imageTapGestureRecognizer)
        imageView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
    }
}

func imageTapped() {
    //navigate to another view controller
}
