UITextField subview of UITableViewCell, get indexPath of cell

Question

I have added a UITextField as a subview of a UITableViewCell. Then I have added a target and selector so that I can know

Answer 1

Instead of recursively trying to find the superview, there's a simpler solution:

Swift

func indexPathForCellContainingView(view: UIView, inTableView tableView:UITableView) -> NSIndexPath? {
    let viewCenterRelativeToTableview = tableView.convertPoint(CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(view.bounds), CGRectGetMidY(view.bounds)), fromView:view)
    return tableView.indexPathForRowAtPoint(viewCenterRelativeToTableview)
}

Objective-C

- (NSIndexPath *)indexPathForCellContainingView:(UIView *)view inTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
    CGPoint viewCenterRelativeToTableview = [tableView convertPoint:CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(view.bounds), CGRectGetMidY(view.bounds)) fromView:view];
    NSIndexPath *cellIndexPath = [tableView indexPathForRowAtPoint:viewCenterRelativeToTableview];
    return cellIndexPath
}

I made this into a Gist for the Swift hearted
