To provide some action on touch of any view ,UITapGestureRecognizer is used. Write this code in viewDidLoad

- (void)viewDidLoad {
  [super viewDidLoad];


 myView.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
UITapGestureRecognizer *singleFingerTap = 
  [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self 
                                          action:@selector(handleSingleTap:)];
[myView addGestureRecognizer:singleFingerTap]; //myView is that view for whom we want to set any action
[singleFingerTap release];

//The event handling method
- (void)handleSingleTap:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)recognizer {
  CGPoint location = [recognizer locationInView:[recognizer.view superview]];
//set any action you want to perform on touch event 
}
