    doubleTapGestureRecognizer.numberOfTapsRequired = 2
    tableView.addGestureRecognizer(doubleTapGestureRecognizer)

    let tapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(handleTapGesture(sender:)))
    tapGestureRecognizer.numberOfTapsRequired = 1
    tapGestureRecognizer.require(toFail: doubleTapGestureRecognizer)
    tableView.addGestureRecognizer(tapGestureRecognizer)
}

func handleTapGesture(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
    let touchPoint = sender.location(in: tableView)
    if let indexPath = tableView.indexPathForRow(at: touchPoint) {
        print(indexPath)
    }
}

func handleDoubleTap(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
    let touchPoint = sender.location(in: tableView)
    if let indexPath = tableView.indexPathForRow(at: touchPoint) {
        print(indexPath)
    }
}
