UITableViewCell selection in editing mode. - uitableview

Question

I am making a custom UIViewController that I want to show a message when a UITableViewCell is tapped. I create a UITableView and set the property
tableView.allowsSelectionDuringEditing = true
Even though that property has been set to true, tableView(:didSelectRowAtIndexPath) is not being called to display the message. Why is this and how do I fix it?
Here is my UITableViewController:
class GameListViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource, GameListViewDelegate, UITableViewDelegate
{
private var _games: [GameObject] = []
var tableView: UITableView {return (view as GameListView).tableView}
var gameListView: GameListView {return (view as GameListView) }
override func loadView()
{
view = GameListView(frame: UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds)
gameListView.delegate = self
}
override func viewDidLoad()
{
super.viewDidLoad()
tableView.dataSource = self
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int
{
return _games.count
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell
{
var index: Int = indexPath.row
let currentGame = _games[index]
var cell: UITableViewCell = UITableViewCell(style: UITableViewCellStyle.Default, reuseIdentifier: nil)
cell.textLabel?.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakMode.ByCharWrapping
cell.textLabel?.numberOfLines = 2
if currentGame.isFinished == true
{
cell.imageView?.image = UIImage(named: "Finished.png")
cell.textLabel?.text = "Winner: Player\(currentGame.playerMakingMove)\nMissiles Launched: \(currentGame.missileCount)"
}
else
{
cell.imageView?.image = UIImage(named: "Resume.png")
cell.textLabel?.text = "Turn: Player\(currentGame.playerMakingMove)\nMissiles Launched: \(currentGame.missileCount)"
}
return cell
}
/*Handles deleting the cells*/
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, commitEditingStyle editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath)
{
if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyle.Delete)
{
var index: Int = indexPath.row
_games.removeAtIndex(index)
tableView.deleteRowsAtIndexPaths(NSArray(array: [indexPath]), withRowAnimation: UITableViewRowAnimation.Left)
}
tableView.reloadData()
}
/* Performs when a cell is touched */
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath)
{
var index: Int = indexPath.row
tableView.selectRowAtIndexPath(indexPath, animated: true, scrollPosition: UITableViewScrollPosition.None)
println("inside tableView: didSelectRowAtIndexPath")
var message = UIAlertView(title: "Row selected", message: "You have selected a row", delegate: nil, cancelButtonTitle: "Click ME!", otherButtonTitles: "no other buttons")
message.show()
}
func makeNewGame()
{
addGames(1)
tableView.reloadData()
}
func addGames(gameNumber: Int)
{
var p1 = Player()
var p2 = Player()
for var i = 0; i < gameNumber; i++
{
var randBool = Bool( round(drand48())) // True/False
var randPlayer:Int = Int( round( (drand48() + 1)) ) // 1 or 2
var randMissleCount:Int = Int( arc4random_uniform(5000) + 1 ) //1 - 5001
_games.append(GameObject(isFinished: randBool, playerMakingMove: randPlayer, missileCount: randMissleCount, player1: p1, player2: p2))
}
}
}
Here is my UIView that contains the UITableView:
protocol GameListViewDelegate: class
{
func makeNewGame()
}
class GameListView: UIView, PictureButtonDelegate
{
var newGameButton: PictureButton!
var tableView: UITableView!
weak var delegate: GameListViewDelegate? = nil
override init(frame: CGRect)
{
super.init(frame: frame)
newGameButton = PictureButton(frame: CGRect(), fileName: "NewGame.png")
newGameButton.backgroundColor = UIColor.grayColor()
newGameButton.delegate = self
newGameButton.setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints(false)
tableView = UITableView()
tableView.allowsSelectionDuringEditing = true
tableView.setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints(false)
self.addSubview(newGameButton)
self.addSubview(tableView)
}
override func layoutSubviews()
{
let views: [String : UIView] = ["button": newGameButton, "tableView": tableView]
addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraintsWithVisualFormat("H:|-[button]-|", options: .allZeros, metrics: nil, views: views))
addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraintsWithVisualFormat("H:|-[tableView]-|", options: .allZeros, metrics: nil, views: views))
addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraintsWithVisualFormat("V:|-(>=15,<=25)-[button]-[tableView]-|", options: .allZeros, metrics: nil, views: views))
}
func buttonPushed()
{
delegate?.makeNewGame()
}
required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
}

You have to set a delegate for the UITableView and implement func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath).
You only set the dataSource, but never the delegate (only a GameListViewDelegate for GameListView).
Change your viewDidLoad function in GameListViewController to:
override func viewDidLoad()
{
super.viewDidLoad()
tableView.dataSource = self
tableView.delegate = self
}
