I have a tableView with two different custom UITableViewCells. The first cell in the tableView is ALWAYS of type ResearchPostFeedTableViewCell, and the rest of type CommentTableViewCell. The first cell type contains a subView that when tapped I would like it to do something. My problem is, I have added a UITapGestureRecognizer to UIViewController.view that hides the keyboard. As a result, tapping anywhere on the screen will only hide the keyboard. How do i disable this tap gesture specifically when the user taps on the subView of the very first cell? I have tried the following but I suspect I have not quite got the code correct for locating the touch on the subView of the first cell in order to disable the UIViewController.view tapGesture.
class CommentMainViewController: UIViewController, UITextViewDelegate, UIGestureRecognizerDelegate{
var myTableView: CommentOnPostTableView! // Custom UITableView
var screenTapGesture: UITapGestureRecognizer!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
...
screenTapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer.init(target: self, action: #selector(hideKeyBaord))
screenTapGesture.delegate = self
self.view.addGestureRecognizer(screenTapGesture)
...
}
func hideKeyBaord(){
// Hides the keyboard
}
func gestureRecognizer(_ gestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer, shouldReceive touch: UITouch) -> Bool {
if gestureRecognizer == screenTapGesture{
let researchCell = myTableView.cellForRow(at: [0,0]) // First cell only
if let imageCarousel = researchCell?.imageView{
let location = touch.location(in: imageCarousel)
let isTouchImage = imageCarousel.frame.contains(location)
if isTouchImage{
print("IMAGE TOUCHED!")
// Disable screenTapGesture
return false
}else{
return true
}
}
return true
}else{
return false
}
}
}
