Using a custom image for a UITableViewCell's accessoryView and having it respond to UITableViewDelegate

Question

I\'m using a custom drawn UITableViewCell, including the same for the cell\'s accessoryView. My setup for the accessoryView happens by the way of something like

Answer 1

My approach is to create a UITableViewCell subclass and encapsulate the logic that will call the usual UITableViewDelegate's method within it.

// CustomTableViewCell.h
@interface CustomTableViewCell : UITableViewCell

- (id)initForIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier;

@end

// CustomTableViewCell.m
@implementation CustomTableViewCell

- (id)initForIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier;
{
    // the subclass specifies style itself
    self = [super initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleValue1 reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
    if (self) {
        // get the button elsewhere
        UIButton *accBtn = [ViewFactory createTableViewCellDisclosureButton];
        [accBtn addTarget: self
                   action: @selector(accessoryButtonTapped:withEvent:)
         forControlEvents: UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
        self.accessoryView = accBtn;
    }
    return self;
}

#pragma mark - private

- (void)accessoryButtonTapped:(UIControl *)button withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
    UITableViewCell *cell = (UITableViewCell*)button.superview;
    UITableView *tableView = (UITableView*)cell.superview;
    NSIndexPath *indexPath = [tableView indexPathForCell:cell];
    [tableView.delegate tableView:tableView accessoryButtonTappedForRowWithIndexPath:indexPath];
}

@end
