I'm using a more generic approach by swizzling -[UIView pointInside:withEvent:]. This allows me to modify hit testing behavior on any UIView, not just UIButton.
Oftentimes, a button is placed inside a container view that also limits the hit testing. For instance, when a button is at the top of a container view and you want to extend the touch target upwards, you also have to extend the touch target of the container view.
@interface UIView(Additions)
@property(nonatomic) UIEdgeInsets hitTestEdgeInsets;
@end
@implementation UIView(Additions)
+ (void)load {
Swizzle(self, @selector(pointInside:withEvent:), @selector(myPointInside:withEvent:));
}
- (BOOL)myPointInside:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
if(UIEdgeInsetsEqualToEdgeInsets(self.hitTestEdgeInsets, UIEdgeInsetsZero) || self.hidden ||
([self isKindOfClass:UIControl.class] && !((UIControl*)self).enabled))
{
return [self myPointInside:point withEvent:event]; // original implementation
}
CGRect hitFrame = UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(self.bounds, self.hitTestEdgeInsets);
hitFrame.size.width = MAX(hitFrame.size.width, 0); // don't allow negative sizes
hitFrame.size.height = MAX(hitFrame.size.height, 0);
return CGRectContainsPoint(hitFrame, point);
}
static char hitTestEdgeInsetsKey;
- (void)setHitTestEdgeInsets:(UIEdgeInsets)hitTestEdgeInsets {
objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &hitTestEdgeInsetsKey, [NSValue valueWithUIEdgeInsets:hitTestEdgeInsets], OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN);
}
- (UIEdgeInsets)hitTestEdgeInsets {
return [objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &hitTestEdgeInsetsKey) UIEdgeInsetsValue];
}
void Swizzle(Class c, SEL orig, SEL new) {
Method origMethod = class_getInstanceMethod(c, orig);
Method newMethod = class_getInstanceMethod(c, new);
if(class_addMethod(c, orig, method_getImplementation(newMethod), method_getTypeEncoding(newMethod)))
