Multiple Tap Gestures in a UITableViewCell - ios

Question

I have several tap gestures being created and recognized on different UIViews from in my TableViewController and the different gestures are being recognized correctly. As seen in this code:
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("CustomCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! CustomCell
let tapOnView1 = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector("handleTap:"))
let tapOnView2 = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector("handleTap:"))
cell.View1.addGestureRecognizer(tapOnView1)
cell.View1.userInteractionEnabled = true
cell.View2.addGestureRecognizer(tapOnView1)
cell.View2.userInteractionEnabled = true
return cell
}
My Handle tap looks like this:
func handleTap(sender:UITapGestureRecognizer) {
let tappedView = sender.view
self.tableView.beginUpdates()
if tappedView == cell.View1 {
print("View 1 Tapped")
} else if tappedView == cell.View2 {
print("View 2 Tapped")
}
}
I wanted to move all this code to my CustomCell UITableViewCell class as there are actually several more UIViews that have different actions that need to be taken on a tap. Additionally moving them all to the Cell itself seems to me to be the right thing to do. I searched for answers but the only true answer I have seen is to use buttons and there are several reasons that this is really not an option for me without some serious refactoring and rewriting. I have tried several iterations to the following code in my CustomCell class:
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
// Initialization code
let tapOnView1 = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector("handleTap:"))
addGestureRecognizer(tapOnView1)
let tapOnView2 = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector("handleTap:"))
addGestureRecognizer(tapOnView2)
}
and this handleTap function:
func handleTap(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
if delegate != nil && item != nil {
if sender.view == view1 {
print("view1 tapped")
} else {
print("view2 tapped")
}
}
}
The tap for view1 is never called. It only ever calls the view2 tap no matter where in the cell I tap. I have tried using different Selector functions (i.e. handleTapOne: for View1, and handleTapTwo: for View2) but I can't seem to figure out how to do this.
Again it works in my UITableViewController but it does not work when I try to move all of the tap recognizers to the UITableViewCell.
Thanks for the help.
