How to get the indexpath.row when an element is activated?

Question

I have a tableview with buttons and I want to use the indexpath.row when one of them is tapped. This is what I currently have, but it always is 0

var point =         


        

Answer 1

Since the sender of the event handler is the button itself, I'd use the button's tag property to store the index, initialized in cellForRowAtIndexPath.

But with a little more work I'd do in a completely different way. If you are using a custom cell, this is how I would approach the problem:

• add an 'indexPath` property to the custom table cell
• initialize it in cellForRowAtIndexPath
• move the tap handler from the view controller to the cell implementation
• use the delegation pattern to notify the view controller about the tap event, passing the index path
