UILongPressGestureRecognizer not works with tableview - objective-c

Question

I had added a UILongPressGestureRecognizer to a tableview in my ViewDidLoad method. I added this to detect long press on table view in my code. But it never works. In ViewDidLoad I added this code :
UILongPressGestureRecognizer *lpgr = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc]
initWithTarget:self action:#selector(handleLongPress:)];
lpgr.minimumPressDuration = 2.0; //seconds
lpgr.delegate = self;
[self.resultTableView addGestureRecognizer:lpgr];
[lpgr release];
I also added this method :
-(void)handleLongPress:(UILongPressGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer
{
CGPoint p = [gestureRecognizer locationInView:self.resultTableView];
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.resultTableView indexPathForRowAtPoint:p];
if (indexPath == nil) {
NSLog(#"long press on table view but not on a row");
}
else {
NSLog(#"long press on table view at row %d", indexPath.row);
}
}
Please help me to resolve this?

Answer 1

Your code is working. I think you have to add UIGestureRecognizerDelegate delegate in .h file or how to declare resultTableView i mean you define programmatically or using .xib file.Check it once.
I have tried like this.
resultTableView = [[UITableView alloc] init];
resultTableView =[[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 420) style:UITableViewStylePlain];
resultTableView.rowHeight = 100.0;
resultTableView.delegate=self;
resultTableView.dataSource=self;
[self.view addSubview:resultTableView];
UILongPressGestureRecognizer *lpgr = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc]
initWithTarget:self action:#selector(handleLongPress:)];
lpgr.minimumPressDuration = 2.0; //seconds
lpgr.delegate = self;
[resultTableView addGestureRecognizer:lpgr];
[lpgr release];

It looks like you want to add the gesture to the individual cells, but you are adding the gesture to the table. Try adding the gesture to your UITableViewCell instead.

If the gesture recognizer is being blocked by the UITableView panGestureRecognizer, implement the delegate to ensure both can work
-(BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)otherGestureRecognizer
{
return YES;
}
