Why does my UITableView not respond to touchesBegan?

Question

I am using this method

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {

    UITouch *touch = [[event allTou         


        

Answer 1

I found the simplest way to do this is to add a gesture recognizer to the UITableViewController's view.

I put this code in the UITableViewController's viewDidLoad:

UITapGestureRecognizer * tap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleTap:)];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:tap];

And implemented the event handler:

- (void)handleTap:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)recognizer
{
    // your code goes here...
}

EDIT: You could also add the gesture recognizer to the tableview, just change [self.view addGestureRecognizer:tap]; to [self.tableView addGestureRecognizer:tap];
