Subclass of UITableView indexPath nil - ios

Question

I'm trying to subclass a UITableView. However, I'm unable to get an indexPath that isn't nil. The tableView has custom cells.
Here is my TouchTableView.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h> //I brought this in because I'm saving audio files in my app
#import "SimpleTableCell.h"
#protocol myTableViewDelegate;
#interface TouchTableView : UITableView <UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource, AVAudioRecorderDelegate, AVAudioPlayerDelegate, UITextViewDelegate, UITextFieldDelegate, UIAlertViewDelegate>
#property (nonatomic, weak) id<myTableViewDelegate> myDelegate;
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSMutableArray *sortedFiles;
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *simpleTableIdentifier;
#property (strong, nonatomic) SimpleTableCell *cell;
#property BOOL inverted;
-(void)refreshTable;
#end
#protocol myTableViewDelegate <NSObject>
- (void)selectedFile:(TouchTableView *)tableView withURL: (NSURL *) tableViewURL IndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
-(void)didDelete:(TouchTableView *)tableView IndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
-(void)setSortedFile:(TouchTableView *)tableView;
#end
I attach a longpress like so:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
//bring in your custom cell here
simpleTableIdentifier = #"SimpleTableCell";
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
{
NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"SimpleTableCell" owner:self options:nil];
cell = [nib objectAtIndex:0];
[cell.textField setEnabled:NO];
//put in long press
UILongPressGestureRecognizer *longPressGesture = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(longPress:)];
[longPressGesture setMinimumPressDuration:1.0];
[cell addGestureRecognizer:longPressGesture];
}
}
return cell;
}
Then I have the following method for when the longpress activates:
- (void)longPress:(UILongPressGestureRecognizer *)gesture
{
if (![cell.textField isEnabled]) {
// only when gesture was recognized, not when ended
if (gesture.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan)
{
// get affected cell
cell = (SimpleTableCell *)[gesture view];
// get indexPath of cell
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self indexPathForCell:cell];
[self selectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:NO scrollPosition:0];
[cell.textField setEnabled:YES];
[cell.textField becomeFirstResponder];
}
}
}
In my viewController in viewDidLoad I have:
self.touchTableView = [[TouchTableView alloc] init];
[self.tableView setDelegate:self.touchTableView];
[self.tableView setDataSource:self.touchTableView];
self.touchTableView.myDelegate = self;
The problem is that the indexPath is always nil. You'll note that I'm calling self instead of self.tableView because self is the tableView. Is there a way to get the indexPath?

Sorry for the mess all. rmaddy was right. Ridiculous. The solution:
in my ViewController.h I set up:
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet TouchTableView *tableView;
Then I changed the last code in my example to
[self.tableView setDelegate:self.tableView];
[self.tableView setDataSource:self.tableView];
self.tableView.myDelegate = self;
[self.tableView refreshTable];
Now I'm getting the index path.
