How to hide custom view on tapping outside it

Question

I have made a custom view and is hidden by default. By pressing a button I am unhiding it. Now I want to again hide it by adding outside the custom view. I have used touchesbegan with event but that is not serving the purpose. This is the function.

override func touchesBegan(touches: Set, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {

   let touch = UITouch()

    if touch.view?.tag == 1 {          // 1 is the tag value for custom view

        self.view1.hidden = false     // view1 is the outlet for custom view
    }
    else{
        self.view1.hidden = true
    }
}

@Anbu.Karthik. thanx for suggestion but it is not working. It is unhidding the custom view but on tapping the custom view itself. — dvshrwt

@Anbu.Karthik you could not get outside tap event of custom view inside customview so rather than that you can add transparent button in your view and use its touchup outside event (this is not better way but you can may find your solution) — Parth Dabhi

Add touch to superview of you'r custom view. On it's function call use this

func superView_Touch(){
    let childView = superView.viewWithTag(1)
    if(!childView.hidden){
        childView.hidden = true
    }
}

@ankita.thnx for suggestion. But the problem is still there. Custom view is hiding but on tapping custom view itself. Logic is correct but i cannot understand what am i doing wrong.

You need to add touch on the main view. Suppose you main view is 200*200 and subview is 100*100, then you need to add touch to view with 200*200. This method will be in touch selector
