How get UITableView IndexPath from UITableView iphone?

Question

In my iPhone app I have one messaging screen. I have added UITapGestureRecognizer on the UIViewController and also I have a UITableview on

Assuming you want the tap gesture to work everywhere except over the tableview, you could subclass the tap gesture recognizer, creating a recognizer that will ignore any subviews included in an array of excludedViews, preventing them from generating a successful gesture (thus passing it on to didSelectRowAtIndexPath or whatever):

#import 

@interface MyTapGestureRecognizer : UITapGestureRecognizer
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray *excludedViews;
@end

@implementation MyTapGestureRecognizer

@synthesize excludedViews = _excludedViews;

- (id)initWithTarget:(id)target action:(SEL)action
{
    self = [super initWithTarget:target action:action];
    if (self)
    {
        _excludedViews = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
    }

    return self;
}

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

    CGPoint location = [[touches anyObject] locationInView:self.view];

    for (UIView *excludedView in self.excludedViews)
    {
        CGRect frame = [self.view convertRect:excludedView.frame fromView:excludedView.superview];

        if (CGRectContainsPoint(frame, location))
            self.state = UIGestureRecognizerStateFailed;
    }
}

@end

And then, when you want to use it, just specify what controls you want to exclude:

MyTapGestureRecognizer *tap = [[MyTapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleTap:)];
[tap.excludedViews addObject:self.tableView];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:tap];
