Tap Recognition for UIImageView in the UITableViewCell

Question

Currently I'm facing a problem, I would like to perform action when the UIImageView on my UITableViewCell had been tapped.

Question: How could I do it? Could any one show me the code, or any tutorial?

Thanks in advance!

This is actually easier than you would think. You just need to make sure that you enable user interaction on the imageView, and you can add a tap gesture to it. This should be done when the cell is instantiated to avoid having multiple tap gestures added to the same image view. For example:

- (instancetype)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder
{
    if (self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder]) {
        UITapGestureRecognizer *tap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(myTapMethod:)];

        [self.imageView addGestureRecognizer:tap];
        [self.imageView setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
    }

    return self;
}

- (void)myTapMethod:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)tapGesture
{
    UIImageView *imageView = (UIImageView *)tapGesture.view;
    NSLog(@"%@", imageView);
}
