Obj-C - didSelectRowAtIndexPath not firing? - ios

Question

I'm stumped. For some reason, when I tap my tableView cell, didSelectRowAtIndexPath is not executing? And yes, my tableView delegate is set, and data is populated in the cell label. Am I missing something obvious from my below? Essentially, when my user taps the tableView cell, the contents of the cell label should appear in a textfield.
.h
#interface RegisterViewController : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate> {
}
#property (nonatomic) IBOutlet UITableView *tableView;
#end
.m
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.tableView.hidden = NO;
self.tableView.delegate = self;
self.tableView.dataSource = self;
}
- (void)LoadJson_search{
searchArray=[[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
// NSLog(#"str......%#",strSearch);
// This API key is from https://developers.google.com/maps/web/
NSString *str1 = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/queryautocomplete/json?input=%#&key=AIzaSyAm7buitimhMgE1dKV2j4_7doULluiiDzU", strSearch];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:str1];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
NSError *error=nil;
if(data.length==0)
{
}
else
{
NSDictionary *jsondic= [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:kNilOptions error:&error];
// NSLog(#"1,,,,%#",jsondic);
[searchArray removeAllObjects];
if([[jsondic objectForKey:#"status"]isEqualToString:#"ZERO_RESULTS"])
{
}
else if([[jsondic objectForKey:#"status"]isEqualToString:#"INVALID_REQUEST"])
{
}
else
{
for(int i=0;i<[jsondic.allKeys count];i++)
{
NSString *str1=[[[jsondic objectForKey:#"predictions"] objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:#"description"];
[searchArray addObject:str1];
}
self.tableView.hidden = NO;
// NSLog(#"%#", searchArray);
}
if (searchArray.count == 0) {
self.tableView.hidden = YES;
}else{
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
}
}

if([string isEqualToString:#" "]){

}

Answer 1

Try with the next line in your viewDidLoad:
self.tableView.allowsSelection = YES;
Or check that property in your storyboard. Well you can try with the cell too like this:
// This line do not affect the selection delegate only the style
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
cell.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
