How to make UITableView Header selectable?

Question

I have made a custom section-header for UITableView, that includes some controls like segmented control, UIImageView ,etc. It successfully appears, but it\'s not tappable so

Answer 1

If anyone needs a solution that can work when the tableview has multiple sections, I had the same problem and the solution I came up with was to create different targets on a button at the viewForHeaderInSection method, based on the section. I am using a button but this should work just as well with UITapGestureRecognizer

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {

        // ...

        if section == 0 {
            cell.button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(firstSectionTapped(_:)), for: .touchUpInside)
        } else if section == 1 {
            cell.button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(secondSectionTapped(_:)), for: .touchUpInside)
        }

        // ...

}

Then in the ViewController:

@objc func goalCategoryTapped(_ sender: UITapGestureRecognizer?) {
    print("Section One Tapped")
}

@objc func ideaCategoryTapped(_ sender: UITapGestureRecognizer?) {
    print("Section Two Tapped")
}
