UITABLEVIEW call insert method when tapped - cocoa-touch

Question

I already have my insert method as well as editing. But what I wanted to know is how to recognise a touch event when tapping only the tablview to insert? This is similar to the Reminders app where you could touch anywhere within the UITableView to insert a new record.
UITableView *tableView = mytableview;
CGPoint tableLocation = [touch locationInView:tableView];
// this one recognises when I edit a record on a UITableview
if([touch.view isKindOfClass:[UITableViewCell class]]) {
return NO;
}
if([touch.view.superview isKindOfClass:[UITableViewCell class]]) {
return NO;
}
if([touch.view.superview.superview isKindOfClass:[UITableViewCell class]]) {
return NO;
}
// this one recognises if I tap on a UITableView
if ([tableView hitTest:tableLocation withEvent:Nil]) {
//differentiate scrolling from tapping to invoke add method
}
else
{
}

Answer 1

-(BOOL)gestureRecognizerShouldBegin:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer
{
//check if your gesture is only TAP so you could scroll the uitableview
if ([gestureRecognizer isKindOfClass:[UITapGestureRecognizer class]]) {
//making sure when you tap, you only tap within the uitableview
UITableView *lemak_table = datetable;
CGPoint tapaw_Kopi = [gestureRecognizer locationInView:lemak_table];
if ([lemak_table hitTest:tapaw_Kopi withEvent:Nil]) {
//Check if table is in editmode so you could tap buttons like "delete"
if (![lemak_table isEditing]) {
//INSERT METHOD HERE and NOWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER.
}
}
}
return YES;
}
// I also added this method so you could edit exisiting records per row/cell thus differentiating TAP to Add from TAP to edit.
-(BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldReceiveTouch: (UITouch *)touch
{
if([touch.view isKindOfClass:[UITableViewCell class]]) {
return NO;
}
if([touch.view.superview isKindOfClass:[UITableViewCell class]]) {
return NO;
}
if([touch.view.superview.superview isKindOfClass:[UITableViewCell class]]) {
return NO;
}
return YES;
}
