didSelectRowAtIndexPath is in conflict with Tap Gesture Recognizer

Question

I've set a Tap Gesture Recognizer in my ViewController via the Storyboard (so all the tap in the view, will hide the keyboard if this one is showed)

The thing is that now, I have add a TableView in this View, and when I clic on a cell, the methode set with the Tap Gesture Recognizer is call, not didSelectRowAtIndexPath.

The "funny" thing, is that if I stay on the cell for 2seconds or more, the delegate didSelectRowAtIndexPath is called, not the TapGestureRecognizer methode.

Could you guys explain what happen here ? where and why am I wrong ?

when keyboard will open then add tap gesture and when keyboard will hide then remove tap gesture from the view, this is one way to do – Peripatetic

@Peripatetic : I've done that, it work perfectly for the TapGestureRecognizer method, but now, on my TableView, nothing is called when I single tap on a cell, and didSelectRowAtIndexPath is called when I stay press on the cell for 2secondes or more, I still wonder why. – Archimandrite

You have tried the @Jan Greve answer? – Peripatetic

Provide some code of Textfield or Textview delegate and also didselect method of tableview – Peripatetic

Answer 1

Your UITapGestureRecognizer probably cancels the touch event when successfully recognizing a touch.

Try setting

tapGestureRecognizer.cancelsTouchesInView = NO;

For a more thorough read on this topic, have a look an the conceptual docs on gesture recognition.

after Updating my code tahnks to Jaimish, I'm sure I have no gestures set on my view anymore, but the didSelectRowAtIndexPath is still called only when I stay press on the cell for more than 2secondes, nothing is call when I single tap on it (however, the cell still "blink" as it should when single tapped, is it possible that the code call another delegate, other tahn didSelectRowAtIndexPath ?) – Archimandrite

Is your gesture recognizer's action called? How are you 'sure'? Have you imlemented tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, willSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> NSIndexPath? on your delegate? That could prohibit it as well. – Crore

Yep, I found out that in the storyboard, some gestureRecognizer were set to non-existants methods, after deleted them, it work perfectly !! Thanks by the way :) – Archimandrite

I recon that makes my answer correct and helpful then. Feel free to accept it. – Crore

@SmokeDispenser It is still not working for me , i am not table to select the items from my table view, i have implemented the func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) method – Clive

@SamarthKejriwal this is not a forum. If you have a question yourself, feel free to ask it complying to How to Ask after searching for it here. Explain in your question what you have tried and what didn't work. – Crore

Thank you very much man! Now i can use both didselectrowatindexpath and tapgesture with a single tap ! – Kv

Answer 2

Better way is don't use didSelectRowAtIndexpath method.

if you have to implement gestures on table view cell then create tap gesture in cellForRowAtIndexpath and using tag identify particular cell click.
