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

In my case i have multiple sections and both the section and row index is vital, so in such a case i just created a property on UIButton which i set the cell indexPath like so:

fileprivate struct AssociatedKeys {
    static var index = 0
}

extension UIButton {

    var indexPath: IndexPath? {
        get {
            return objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &AssociatedKeys.index) as? IndexPath
        }
        set {
            objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &AssociatedKeys.index, newValue, .OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC)
        }
    }
}

Then set the property in cellForRowAt like this :

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("Cell") as! Cell
    cell.button.indexPath = indexPath
}

Then in the handleTapAction you can get the indexPath like this :

@objc func handleTapAction(_ sender: UIButton) {
    self.selectedIndex = sender.indexPath

}
