Get button click inside UITableViewCell

Question

I have a view controller with a table view and a separate nib for the table cell template. The cell template has some buttons. I want to access the button click along with the index of the cell clicked inside the view controller where I have defined the Table view.

So I have ViewController.h and ViewController.m where I have the UITableView and TableTemplate.h, TableTemplate.m and TableTemplate.xib where I have the nib defined. I want the button click event with cell index in ViewController.m.

Any help on how can I do that?

Answer 1

1) In your cellForRowAtIndexPath: method, assign button tag as index:

cell.yourbutton.tag = indexPath.row;

2) Add target and action for your button as below:

[cell.yourbutton addTarget:self action:@selector(yourButtonClicked:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

3) Code actions based on index as below in ViewControler:

-(void)yourButtonClicked:(UIButton*)sender
{
     if (sender.tag == 0) 
     {
         // Your code here
     }
}
