Question

My UITableViewController has the class name of SettingsViewController. It contains a property linked to a UITableViewCell called signOutCell.

Why does this not recognize if a user has touched the signOutCell? It is inside SettingsViewController.m?

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
    if ([touches containsObject:signOutCell])
    {        
        [self triggerActionSheetConfirmation];
    }
}

I placed

NSLog(@"Received touch"); 

before the if statement, but it never got called. Is touchesBegan:withEvent: never getting called when anything is touched in this TableViewController?

How can I get a simple tap in a UITableViewCell to call the method triggerActionSheetConfirmation?

Answer 1

Use the UITableViewDelegate method tableView:didDeselectRowAtIndexPath:. In that method get the cell of the row clicked via the UITableView method cellForRowAtIndexPath. Then use an if statement to compare the cell with the UITableView outlet property you created. Then run your method if it evaluates to that outlet.
