UISwitch within UITableViewCell not working

Question

I have added a Prototype cell to my UITableView which has a UISwitch and an UILabel. When I run the app the UISwitch and UILabel display fine as expected, but some how I can not interact with the UISwitch. I can not toggle it between On or Off.

I have also tried creating a separate UITableViewCell and implementing the same UI. Still I have the same issue.

I am inflating the Cell as follows :-

public override UITableViewCell GetCell(UITableView tableView, NSIndexPath indexPath)
        {
            RatingTableCell cell = tableView.DequeueReusableCell("RatingTableCell") as RatingTableCell;

            if (choiceList != null && choiceList.Count > 0)
            {
                cell.UpdateCellchoiceList.ElementAt(indexPath.Row));
            }
            else
            {
                //Do something else
            }



            return cell;
        }



 public override void RowSelected(UITableView tableView, NSIndexPath indexPath)
        {
            var cell = tableView.CellAt(indexPath);


        }

EDIT

The whole cell is also not getting clicked. If I just add a label without the UISwitch the cell click works fine.

Have you set any properties like tableView.allowsSelection = false ? — Bharath, Oct 03 '17 at 06:12
Do you have any other UIElements in the cell except the switch & label, If any other ui elements is upon the cell then it may not allow the action for below contents. — Bharath, Oct 03 '17 at 06:21
Please share some code on your "valueChanged" delegate method, didSelectRow & cellforRow method — Bharath, Oct 03 '17 at 06:39
@Bharath I have added code for didSelectRow and cellForRow methods. I haven't implemented the valueChanged method as I cannot interact with the switch. — user3034944, Oct 03 '17 at 06:45

The code provided in your question has no problem, please show all the code in Class RatingTableCell.cs — ColeX, Oct 04 '17 at 02:16

In case someone comes to this post like me, this might be helpful. If your UISwitch is added manually to the UITableViewCell, make sure it's added to the contentView of the cell. The UISwitch will not work if it's added like addSubview(switch), you need to do contentView.addSubview(switch) instead.

That's an issue on iOS 14+ – Fouad Mar 09 '21 at 18:42

Make sure that selection and user interaction is enabled:

Hi. I have enabled the Single Selection and also the user interaction. But it still remains the same – user3034944 Oct 03 '17 at 06:33
ok, i guess you'll need to provide some more info on how you've added the UIElements and how they are implemented in your code. – Christoph Oct 03 '17 at 06:36
I have just added a UITableView to my Storyboard ViewController. Then added a UISwitch and an UILabel to the prototype cell. – user3034944 Oct 03 '17 at 06:41
Please check my question as I haved added some more code – user3034944 Oct 03 '17 at 06:45
