Add UIGestureRecognizerDelegate

- (BOOL)gestureRecognizerShouldBegin:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer{

    NSString *check;
    if([check isEqualToString:@"Enabled"]
    {
        //long press should be detected. or following method should be called
        return YES;
    }else{
        return NO;
    }
}

NSString *check;
UILongPressGestureRecognizer *longPress =[ [UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc]init];
