How to use UITableView inside UIScrollView and receive a cell click?

Question

I have DiscountListTableViewController that is shown as a separate screen in my app. But there\'s another screen (PlaceDetailsViewController) where

Answer 1

Will share how solved that. Did subclassed UIScrollView and used as container view in PlaceDetailsViewController:

@interface PlaceDetailsContainerUIScrollView : UIScrollView

@end

@implementation PlaceDetailsContainerUIScrollView

- (UIView*)hitTest:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
  UIView *result = [super hitTest:point withEvent:event];

  if ([result isKindOfClass:[UIView class]] && (result.tag == kDiscountListTableViewCellTag)
  {
    UITableView *tableView = (UITableView *) [[result.superview superview] superview];

    return tableView;

  }

  return result;
}
@end

Also, don't forget to set PlaceDetailsContainerUIScrollView.delaysContentTouches = YES and PlaceDetailsContainerUIScrollView.canCancelContentTouches = NO.

Also, needed small fix in DiscountListTableViewController method:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
  DiscountDetailsViewController *discountDetailsVC = [[DiscountDetailsViewController alloc] init];

  //[self.navigationController pushViewController:discountDetailsVC animated:YES];   
  // self.navigationController is nill because it's not pushed on nav stack, so will grab the current one:
  AppDelegate *appDelegate = (AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];

  [appDelegate.navigationController pushViewController:discountDetailsVC animated:YES];
}
