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

1. Define a macro for tags of buttons:

   #define AccessoryViewTagSinceValue 100000 // (AccessoryViewTagSinceValue * sections + rows) must be LE NSIntegerMax
   

2. Create button and set the cell.accessoryView when creating a cell

   UIButton *accessoryButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeContactAdd];
   accessoryButton.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 30, 30);
   [accessoryButton addTarget:self action:@selector(accessoryButtonTapped:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
   cell.accessoryView = accessoryButton;
   

3. Set cell.accessoryView.tag by indexPath in UITableViewDataSource method -tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:

   cell.accessoryView.tag = indexPath.section * AccessoryViewTagSinceValue + indexPath.row;
   

4. Event handler for buttons

   - (void) accessoryButtonTapped:(UIButton *)button {
       NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:button.tag % AccessoryViewTagSinceValue
                                                   inSection:button.tag / AccessoryViewTagSinceValue];
   
       [self.tableView.delegate tableView:self.tableView accessoryButtonTappedForRowWithIndexPath:indexPath];
   }
   

5. Implement the UITableViewDelegate method

   - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView accessoryButtonTappedForRowWithIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
       // do sth.
   }
