I've got a UITextView in a tableViewCell
The problem is that when I single tap on the textView it doesn't perform the didSelectRowAtIndexPath.
But I can't set userInteraction = NO because I want to be able to select the text on a long press event
How can I solve this?
I don't think you can so that however if what you want is a way to copy content (text) of a cell how about using the UITableViewDelegate to use the official controls... (like in contacts app where you hold the cell)...
You can achieve it by implementing these methods:
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView shouldShowMenuForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
if (indexPath.row == 1) { //eg, we want to copy or paste row 1 on each section
return YES;
}
return NO; //for anything else return no
}
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canPerformAction:(SEL)action forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath withSender:(id)sender {
if (action == @selector(copy:)) { //we want to be able to copy
if... //check for the right indexPath
return YES;
}
return NO; //return no for everything else
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView performAction:(SEL)action forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath withSender:(id)sender {
if (action == @selector(copy:)) {
//run the code to copy what you want here for indexPath
}
}
Just wrote that from memory so @selector(copy:) might be @selector(copy) (no :) but try it out... You can also add addtional tasks like paste ect but I'll let you figure that out.
Good luck
