UIGesturerecognizer not calling shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer

Question

Heres the code where im adding the gesture recognizers

    UIImage *img = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:media.thumbnailPath];
    UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] init];  
    imageView.image = img;  
    imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleToFill;
    imageView.backgroundColor =[UIColor blackColor];  

    //Add tap guesture
    UITapGestureRecognizer *singleTap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleSingleTap:)];
    UITapGestureRecognizer *doubleTap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleDoubleTap:)];

    [singleTap setNumberOfTapsRequired:1];
    [singleTap setDelegate:self];

    [doubleTap setNumberOfTapsRequired:2];
    [doubleTap setDelegate:self];

    [singleTap requireGestureRecognizerToFail:doubleTap];

    [imageView addGestureRecognizer:singleTap];
    [imageView addGestureRecognizer:doubleTap];
    [singleTap release];
    [doubleTap release];

and i have implemented the

- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)otherGestureRecognizer
{
     NSLog(@"Gesturing");
     return YES;
}

but the delegate method is not called when dealing with the singletap gesture but it works for doubletap gesture

Check out Simultaneous gesture recognizers in Iphone SDK

For most cases you don't need to:

setup a delegate
permit simultaneous gesture recognition (unless you want simultaneous swipes; not likely)

Setting Gesture Recognizers

UITapGestureRecognizer *singleTap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] 
                                     initWithTarget:self 
                                     action:@selector(handleSingleTapOnMainImageView:)];

[imageView addGestureRecognizer:singleTap];
[singleTap release];

UITapGestureRecognizer *doubleTap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] 
                                     initWithTarget:self 
                                     action:@selector(handleDoubleTapOnMainImageView:)];
[doubleTap setNumberOfTapsRequired:2];
[singleTap requireGestureRecognizerToFail:doubleTap];
[imageView addGestureRecognizer:doubleTap];
[doubleTap release];

Method implementation

-(void)handleSingleTapOnMainImageView:(UIGestureRecognizer*)gestureView
{
NSLog(@"handleSingleTapOnMainImageView");
}

-(void)handleDoubleTapOnMainImageView:(UIGestureRecognizer*)gestureView
{
NSLog(@"handleDoubleTapOnMainImageView");
}

add imageView.userInteractionEnabled = YES; would be work!
