I have a UICollectionView with custom cells- They have a UITextView that mostly covers the entire cell. This presents a problem when using didSelectItemAtIndexPath. The only way to trigger it is by tapping outside the UITextView. I want it to trigger wherever in the cell you tap, whether there is a text view or not. How can this be done?

didSelectItemAtIndexPath is called when none of the subView of collectionViewCell respond to that touch. As the textView respond to those touches, so it won't forward those touches to its superView, so collectionView won't get it.

override hitTest:withEvent method of your collectionViewCell or CollectionView subclass and always return self from them.so it explicitly makes collectionView as first responder.
