Question

I have a tableview in my View. The cells are created using custom Cells. I need to display a large string in the table view cells So I had added the text Label in a Scrollview. Also I need to execute some code when the user taps on table view cell. Please see the below code:

 [cell.textLabelLine2 setFrame:CGRectMake(cell.textLabelLine2.frame.origin.x, cell.textLabelLine2.frame.origin.y, 500, cell.textLabelLine2.frame.size.height)];
   cell.scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(cell.textLabelLine2.text.length*10 , 10);
   cell.scrollView.pagingEnabled = NO;

The problem is when the user touches above the Scroll View, the Tableview did select method will not be called. The solution I found for this problem is to add a gesture recogniser to the scroll view. But in this solution, we have no ways to check which cell(or which gesture recogniser) was selected. Could anyone help me to find a solution for this problem?

You can get to know the cell by the following code

if(gestureRecognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan) {
    CGPoint p = [gestureRecognizer locationInView:[self tableView]];

    NSIndexPath *indexPath = [[self tableView] indexPathForRowAtPoint:p];

    if(indexPath != nil) {

        UITableViewCell *cell = [[self tableView] cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];

                    ...
    }
}
