Detect tap on a button in UITableViewCell for UITableView containing multiple sections

Question

I want to detect button tap on a UITableViewCell where the parent UITableView consists of multiple sections.

I was able to do it in the case of single section, but I

Answer 1

A more direct way to get the index path without using CGPoint and making assumptions about UI is to look at the .superview. I'd imagine this is more reliable in practice.

- (myTableViewCell *)cellContainingView:(UIView *)view
{
    do {
        view = view.superview;
    } while (view != nil && ![view isKindOfClass:[myTableViewCell class]]);

    return (myTableViewCell *)view;
}

Then you can simply do this in the button action:

- (IBAction)myButtonPressed:(id)sender
{
    myTableViewCell *cell = [self cellContainingView:(UIView *)sender];
    NSIndexPath *path = [self.tableView indexPathForCell:cell];
}

Swift 5

 let touchPoint: CGPoint = sender.convert(.zero, to: tableViews)
    let clickedButtonIndexPath = self.tableViews.indexPathForRow(at: touchPoint)
            if(clickedButtonIndexPath != nil)
            {
                NSLog("index path.section ==%ld", Int(clickedButtonIndexPath!.section))
                NSLog("index path.row ==%ld", Int(clickedButtonIndexPath!.row))
               }

Objective-C

-(void)addItem:(UIButton*) sender
{

CGPoint touchPoint = [sender convertPoint:CGPointZero toView:mainTable]; // maintable --> replace your tableview name
NSIndexPath *clickedButtonIndexPath = [mainTable indexPathForRowAtPoint:touchPoint];

 NSLog(@"index path.section ==%ld",(long)clickedButtonIndexPath.section);

 NSLog(@"index path.row ==%ld",(long)clickedButtonIndexPath.row);


}

Swift3

 func addItem(sender: UIButton)
{
    var touchPoint = sender.convert(CGPoint.zero, to: self.maintable)
    // maintable --> replace your tableview name
    var clickedButtonIndexPath = maintable.indexPathForRow(at: touchPoint)
    NSLog("index path.section ==%ld", Int(clickedButtonIndexPath.section))
    NSLog("index path.row ==%ld", Int(clickedButtonIndexPath.row))


}

Swift2 and above

func addItem(sender: UIButton)
 {
var touchPoint: CGPoint = sender.convertPoint(CGPointZero, toView: mainTable)
    // maintable --> replace your tableview name
var clickedButtonIndexPath: NSIndexPath = mainTable(forRowAtPoint: touchPoint)
NSLog("index path.section ==%ld", Int(clickedButtonIndexPath.section))
NSLog("index path.row ==%ld", Int(clickedButtonIndexPath.row))
}

Swift 3 

let clickedButtonIndexPath = self.tableView.indexPathForRow(at: touchPoint)
        if(clickedButtonIndexPath != nil)
        {
            NSLog("index path.section ==%ld", Int(clickedButtonIndexPath!.section))
            NSLog("index path.row ==%ld", Int(clickedButtonIndexPath!.row))
           }
