Touches began in UITableViewController

Question

I am defining this method in my UITableViewController subclass:

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    [super touchesBegan:to         


        

Answer 1

I just ran into the exact issue as the original posting. I got around the issue by creating a subclass of UITableView and overriding the "touchesBegan" method. I also created a protocol so the UITableView could call a method on the UITableViewController, which is ultimately where I wanted to handle the "touchesBegan" event.

Here is the header for UITableView subtype:

@protocol AGSTableViewDelegate;

@interface AGSTableView : UITableView
@property (nonatomic, weak) id agsDelegate;
@end

@protocol AGSTableViewDelegate
-(void)tableViewTouchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event;
@end

And implementation:

@implementation AGSTableView

@synthesize agsDelegate;

-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event 
{    
    [super touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];

    if (agsDelegate)
        [agsDelegate tableViewTouchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
}
@end

And finally, the code fragments from UITableViewController:

@interface AGSWasteUpdateTableController ()
@end

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    AGSTableView *tableView = (AGSTableView *)[self tableView];
    tableView.agsDelegate = self;
}

-(void)tableViewTouchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
    [yourTextField resignFirstResponder];
}

Hope this helps...
