UITableView scrolling problems when inside a UIScrollView

Question

I have a UIScrollView (with paging) to which I add three UIViews. Each of these UIViews has a UITableView inside. So, the user should be able to scroll horizontally to the p

Answer 1

Try to set

self.scrollView.delaysContentTouches = YES;
self.scrollView.canCancelContentTouches = NO;

Maybe the UIScrollView don't pass touch informations to the subviews.

Answer 2

Things I would check:

1. Check your View Hierarchies - Is something being laid on top of your UITableView, causing it not to receive a tap?
2. Are your UITableViews being disabled anywhere? I would set a breakpoint in tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: and see if that method is being called.
3. Check this post

I guess those aren't sure-fire answers but hopefully they'll help discover the problem!

Answer 3

This worked for me

I programmatically added the tableView to my scroll view using addSubview:

UIGestureRecognizerDelegate is needed.

- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldReceiveTouch:(UITouch *)touch {

    if ([touch.view isDescendantOfView:self.signUpJammerList]) {

        return NO;
    }
    return YES;
}

I tried to reproduce a simplified version of your needs using basically Interface Builder and it seems to me it's working using basic coding and using default settings. Can you pls check my quick n dirty Github repo and kindly ask to reply whether it is applicable to your situation or what is missing.

By default Interface Builder creates UIScrollView and UITableViews enabling:

• Delays Content Touches ON
• Cancellable Content Touches ON
