Detecting which UIButton was pressed in a UITableView
In Apple's Accessory sample the following method is used:
[button addTarget:self action:@selector(checkButtonTapped:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
Then in touch handler touch coordinate retrieved and index path is calculated from that coordinate:
- (void)checkButtonTapped:(id)sender
{
CGPoint buttonPosition = [sender convertPoint:CGPointZero toView:self.tableView];
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForRowAtPoint:buttonPosition];
if (indexPath != nil)
{
...
}
}
I found the method of using the superview's superview to obtain a reference to the cell's indexPath worked perfectly. Thanks to iphonedevbook.com (macnsmith) for the tip link text
-(void)buttonPressed:(id)sender {
UITableViewCell *clickedCell = (UITableViewCell *)[[sender superview] superview];
NSIndexPath *clickedButtonPath = [self.tableView indexPathForCell:clickedCell];
...
}
Here's how I do it. Simple and concise:
- (IBAction)buttonTappedAction:(id)sender
{
CGPoint buttonPosition = [sender convertPoint:CGPointZero
toView:self.tableView];
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForRowAtPoint:buttonPosition];
...
}
