didSelectRowAtIndexPath: not being called

Question

I have a UITableView as a subview of my UIScrollVIew, which is the main view controlled by my MainViewController.

In MainView

Answer 1

My solution is :

1. set cancelsTouchesInView To No of any tapGesture

2. I found in my custom cell , userInteractionEnable is set to NO, simply delete userInteractionEnable = No and issue solved.

Answer 2

I have found the answer. I had a UITapGestureRecognizer set for myTableView's superView. This overrode the selection call. Credit to whoever suggested that that might be it. Your answer was deleted before I could mark it correct.

Set the cancelsTouchesInView property to NO on the gesture recogniser to allow the table view to intercept the event.

Answer 3

Have you defined instance variable for tableview with same name. If not then might be this can be the issue-

_myTableView.delegate = self;
_myTableView.datasource = self;

Or-

self.myTableView.delegate = self;
self.myTableView.datasource = self;

Answer 4

My problem is the cell is a customized cell, and the action does not work on it. In addition, there is a UITapGestureRecognizer defined in the superclass.

Firstly, Set tapGesture.cancelsTouchesInView = false

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        
        initUI()
        let tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(endEditing))
        tapGesture.cancelsTouchesInView = false
        view.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)
    }

Secondly, Instead of setting isUserInteractionEnabled = true; in the table view, I set the action on the cell.

In the ViewDidLoad()

        super.viewDidLoad()
        
        tableView.delegate = self
    }

Then in the

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
        let cell: UITableView = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(for: indexPath)
        cell.isUserInteractionEnabled = true;

You can try this solution if you are creating a customized cell.

Answer 5

It's work for me, can you try!

let tap: UITapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.dismissKeyboard)) tap.cancelsTouchesInView = false view.addGestureRecognizer(tap)

Answer 6

My case is strange. My tableView has 2 sections. 1st section's cells work fine about tableView:didSelectRowAt:, but 2nd section's cells doesn't trigger didSelectRowAt:.

The above problem happens at iPhone 4s, iOS 9.3. But in iPhone 5s, iOS 10.3, there are no problems, those cells works fine. It seems like iOS 9 bugs about UITableView.

After many tests, I found out one line codes produces this bug.

tableView.estimatedSectionHeaderHeight = 60.0

Because the 2nd sections has no header view. I remove this line, and all works fine.
