iOS Trigger an action tapping a textview

[Alhazred]

Is there a way to trigger an action when a user taps inside a textview area?
I know that I could put an invisible button on it, but that makes impossible to scroll the text.

Quite easy..
You have delegate methods on your UITextView (UITextViewDelegate).
TextviewDidBeginEditing (or something similair, i'll leave it up to you to find that out.).
THen trigger a action there..
for eg.
[self doMethod1];
or do a performSelector after Delay 4.

You're smart enough to find the rest out.

Here what I've done, but with no luck:
int the nib file I've linked the UIView as delegate for the textview

I've declared my view conltroller in this way
@interface PickItemDetailViewController : UIViewController <UITextViewDelegate> {

then in the .m file I've put
- (void)textViewDidBeginEditingUITextView *)textView {
NSLog(@"textViewDidBeginEditing");
}

but nothing appears inside the console.

Do I miss anything?

You don't need to link the UIView as a delegate, because, it's the textView that you need as delegate..
you can set it in your code too. if you added the delegate (in your header file).

You can just do this

myTextView.delegate = self (in your viewDidLoad).

And then it should be triggered (if the correct myTextView is connected via IB), in other words -->
IBOutlet myTextView *myTextView;
