Detect if certain UIView was touched amongst other UIViews

by

In order to check whether certain view inside another view was touched you can use hitTest. 

- (UIView *)hitTest:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event;

In your custom implementation of touchesBegan check every touch in touches set. The point for hitTest method can be obtained using 

- (CGPoint)locationInView:(UIView *)view;

method, where the view is your superView (the one that contains other views).

EDIT: Here’s a fast custom implementation:

-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event { 
    CGPoint locationPoint = [[touches anyObject] locationInView:self];
    UIView* viewYouWishToObtain = [self hitTest:locationPoint withEvent:event];
}

I hope this was helpful,
Paul
