Click image inside a TableView - ios

Question

Good afternoon,
I'm trying to create a ProfileViewController (where the user profile is loaded, like profile image, likes and pictures) by making a click in the profile image inside a TableViewController (TableView).
At the moment is not working, because everything that I touch is going to a Segue (the post's segue where you can see the entry, likes and comments) but I need to create something (maybe it's a touch gesture) over the author image of that entry and show me his profile.
I have tried by creating a Tap Gesture Recognizer but it's not working. Also a Segue action directly in the Storyboard, and it's not working.
I'm going to show you an example, because at the ends it's like Facebook wall:
If I touch in the profile image it displays the user profile page with his information. I want to achieve that but with the image inside a TableView.
Here is what I got at the moment:

Regards,
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I used to do this with a gesture recognizer...
UITapGestureRecognizer *tapped = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(tapOnCheck:)];
tapped.numberOfTapsRequired = 1;
tapped.numberOfTouchesRequired = 1;
tapped.cancelsTouchesInView = YES;
[cell.imageView addGestureRecognizer:tapped];
As you can see, my target action was "tapOnCheck:" and my image was cell.imageView, but you can simply adapt this code to your code...
Hope this helped!
Bye

Answer 2

You can try simple solution.
Remove all segues from cell.
Then You need to override in CarTableViewCell, UIView's method which called:
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event;
In this method detect touch location. Compare it with location of image.
If touch location is in image - send message to cell's delegate(it is your controller) which says that touch in Image on Cell.
Else - send message to cell's delegate which says that touch in other location in Cell.
Then choose segue to push.
Hope this will help you.
