How can I select a TableViewCell that is inside a CollectionViewCell - ios

Question

I have a CollectionView that is scrolling horizontally. I have custom CollectionViewCells that have inside a TableView with three cells. It looks like this:
[![Here is a example of how it looks][1]][1]
This is the main ViewController where I have the CollectionView
extension ViewController: UICollectionViewDataSource {
func numberOfSections(in collectionView: UICollectionView) -> Int {
return 1
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return self.viewModel.numberOfItems
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell
{
let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: ItemCell.reuseIdentifier, for: indexPath) as! ItemCell
return cell
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
let selectedItem = self.viewModel.items[indexPath.item]
}
}
And this is the ItemCell code that contains the tableview
class ItemCell: UICollectionViewCell, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
#IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
self.tableView.delegate = self
self.tableView.dataSource = self
}
override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
self.tableView.allowsMultipleSelection = true
self.tableView.register(UINib(nibName: "DailySelectionViewCell", bundle: nil), forCellReuseIdentifier: DailySelectionViewCell.reuseIdentifier)
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return 1
}
func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 3
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForFooterInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat {
return 20
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
return 60
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: DailySelectionViewCell.reuseIdentifier, for: indexPath) as! DailySelectionViewCell
switch indexPath.section {
case 0:
cell.descriptionLabel.text = "Item1"
case 1:
cell.descriptionLabel.text = "Item2"
default:
cell.descriptionLabel.text = "Item3"
}
return cell
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, viewForFooterInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
let view = UIView(frame: CGRect.zero)
view.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
return view
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
}
}
I want to click on the TableView cells that are inside the CollectionView cells. When I want to click on a TableViewCell, the touches are only registered on the CollectionViewCell and I can't click on any of the tableview cells inside the CollectionViewCell.

By default didSelectRowAt must work.
As an assumption DailySelectionViewCell may contains some views with user interaction, namely subclassed from UIControl: UIButton, UIDatePicker, UISegmentedControl and so on. In this case didSelectRowAt not work and this is correct behavior.
