UIScrollView inside UITableViewCell touch detect

Question

I have a tableview with 8 custom cells. in the 8th cell I added a scrollView with paging enabled so I can show page 1 and page 2 (or 3, 4... 10) without have a very high cel

Answer 1

I found the simplest solution for my needs:

subclass UIScrollView touchesEnded method and post a notification.

In the UITableview add an observer in viewdidAppear (remove it in viewdiddisappear) to call a function that call tableview didSelectRowForIndexPath.

Something like this (swift version)

// myScrollView.swift

import UIKit

class myScrollView: UIScrollView {
    override func touchesEnded(touches: Set, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
            NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName("selectTVRow", object: nil)
    }
}

In your tableView:

// ItemsList.swift

    override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
        super.viewDidAppear(animated)
        NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: "selectFourthRow", name: "selectTVRow", object: nil)
    }

    override func viewDidDisappear(animated: Bool) {
        super.viewDidDisappear(animated)
        NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().removeObserver(self, name: "selectfourthrow", object: nil)
    }

    func selectFourthRow() {
        let rowToSelect:NSIndexPath = NSIndexPath(forRow: 4, inSection: 0);
        self.tableView(self.tableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath: rowToSelect);
    }

    /*
    .... rest of your tableview Datasource and Delegate methods...
    numberOfSectionsInTableView, numberOfRowsInSection, cellForRowAtIndexPath
    */
