Touches began in UITableViewController

Question

I am defining this method in my UITableViewController subclass:

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    [super touchesBegan:to         


        

Answer 1

You need to pass the touches up the responder chain. We can do this by subclassing UITableView and overriding touchesBegan (and others if needed) and then passing the touches up the responder chain to the UITableViewController.

UITableViewTouch.h:

#import 

@interface UITableViewTouch : UITableView

@end

UITableViewTouch.m:

#import "UITableViewTouch.h"

@implementation UITableViewTouch

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    [super touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
    [[self nextResponder] touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
}

- (void)touchesCancelled:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    [super touchesCancelled:touches withEvent:event];
    [[self nextResponder] touchesCancelled:touches withEvent:event];
}

- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    [super touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event];
    [[self nextResponder] touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event];
}

- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    [super touchesMoved:touches withEvent:event];
    [[self nextResponder] touchesMoved:touches withEvent:event];
}
