When textfield become first responder, gesture recogniser not responding, even after resign

Question

I've probably missed something... First, I inherited from UITextField and added a Tap gesture recogniser to a UITextField (in the designated initialiser):

UITapGestureRecognizer * ges = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(pressed:)];
[self addGestureRecognizer:ges];


-(void)pressed:(id)sender
{
    didPressed = YES;
    [self becomeFirstResponder];
}

Then I set my viewController to be the textField delegate and implemented this:

- (BOOL)textField:(UIOneLetterTextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string
{
    NSLog(@"Key Pressed %@", string);
    textField.text = string;
    [textField resignFirstResponder];
     UITapGestureRecognizer * ges = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:textField action:@selector(pressed:)];
    [textField addGestureRecognizer:ges];
    [self gotoNextTextfield:textField.cellLoc];
    return NO;
}

From this point, for some reason, pressed: doesn't get called when tapping on the textField. Any Idea why?

There are probably other gesture recognizers interfering with it. Try setting your gesture recognizer's delegate, implementing all the delegate methods, and see which get called. — Aaron Brager, Jan 26 '14 at 19:31
Why are you adding the gesture recognizer twice, once in the designated initializer of your derived class, and then again in the delegate method? — blackbird, Jan 26 '14 at 21:29
I added again because I was desperate... Aaron, what you suggesting make sense... I will give it a chance — Yony, Jan 28 '14 at 13:44

The delegate should implement gestureRecognizer:shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer: and return YES.

Is there a specific reason why you are using a UITapGestureRecognizer? The UITextFieldDelegate has a methods that are called whenever a textField starts editing :

textFieldShouldBeginEditing:
textFieldDidBeginEditing:

Unless you have some code that conflicts with these methods, you do not need a UITapGestureRecognizer

textFieldDidBeginEditing is not good for me because all my text fields is one letter textField - when you type a letter you automatocly jump to the next textField and I want to have a spcial logic when tapping on textfield – Yony Jan 28 '14 at 13:41
