TapGesture by UITableView - objective-c

Question

I try to open an AlertView even I hold the tableview row 0.5 seconds.
I use for that following code:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
UILongPressGestureRecognizer *longTap = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(handleTapGesture:)];
[longTap setMinimumPressDuration:0.5];
longTap.delegate = (id)self;
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:longTap];
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
NSString *cellText = cell.textLabel.text;
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:cellText forKey:#"CellNameToEdit"];
}
- (void)handleTapGesture:(UILongPressGestureRecognizer *)sender{
if (sender.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan) {
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Titel" message:#"message" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"cancel" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
alert.tag = 1;
[alert show];
}
}
This code will work, but the problem is, I have to click the row first before it opens the alert view. I hope you understand what I mean.

Answer 1

Why are you adding UILongPressGestureRecognizer to self.view if you want it to get called when you click table..add UILongPressGestureRecognizer to your UITableView([self.youTableViewName addGestureRecognizer:longTap]) and it will work fine.

I have used below GestureRecognizer Code, may be Helpful to You.
#pragma mark - View Controller Life Cycle
#implementation ViewController <UIGestureRecognizerDelegate>
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
UILongPressGestureRecognizer *gesture1 = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(gestureAction:)];
[gesture1 setDelegate:self];
[gesture1 setMinimumPressDuration:1];
Tableview.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
[Tableview addGestureRecognizer:recognizer];
}
#pragma mark - DidSelcelect kindof method
-(void)gestureAction:(UITapGestureRecognizer *) sender
{
CGPoint touchLocation = [sender locationOfTouch:0 inView:self.Tableview];
//here is indexpath
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.Tableview indexPathForRowAtPoint:touchLocation];
NSLog(#"%ld", (long)indexPath.row);
//Do here what you want to do with Cell
[self.Tableview selectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath
animated:YES
scrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionNone];
}
