shouldReceiveTouch on UITableViewCellContentView

Question

I\'m trying to ignore UITapGestureRecognizer taps on a UITableView with the following:

- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer sho         


        

Answer 1

Here's the swift solution for the selected answer.

I couldn't use the "MyTableView" named dependency check because I had a custom BaseViewController that many view controllers derive from. Some view controllers have a tableview, some have a collection view or both but in all cases the gesture recognizer steals their touches.

I didn't want to put this gesture handling code in every subclass, so the only way I got it working in the base class is this:

extension BaseViewController: UIGestureRecognizerDelegate {

    func gestureRecognizer(gestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer, shouldReceiveTouch touch: UITouch) -> Bool {
        var view = touch.view
        while view != nil {
            if view!.isKindOfClass(UICollectionView) || view!.isKindOfClass(UITableView) {
                return false
            } else {
                view = view!.superview
            }
        }
        return true
    }

}
