Answer from AI
Responder chain is a sequence of objects inherited from UIResponder that have the ability to handle an event.
A typical sequence includes:
- UIResponder that initially receives the event: This could be a
UIView(for example, a button) or aUIViewController. - Superview: If the responder does not handle the event, it is passed to its superview.
- View controller (
UIViewController): If the superview does not handle the event, it can be passed to its controller. - Window (
UIWindow): If the controller does not handle the event, it is passed to theUIWindowobject. - Application (
UIApplication): If the window does not handle the event, it is passed to theUIApplicationobject. - Application delegate (
AppDelegate): IfUIApplicationdoes not handle the event, it can be passed to its delegate.
The event is passed by calling the appropriate event handling method (touchesBegan(_:with:), motionBegan(_:with:), etc.) on the next responder in the chain, if the current responder did not handle the event (i.e., if the method implementation does not call super).
