Get indexPath from UITableViewCell when button is clicked from cell

Question

I have a button (red color) in UITableViewCelland when I click this button I want to receive indexPath UITableViewCell.

Now I assign a tag to each of the buttons, like this cell.closeButton.tag = indexPath.section and by pressing the button I get the value indexPath.sectionas follows:

@IBAction func closeImageButtonPressed(sender: AnyObject) {
  data.removeAtIndex(sender.tag)
  tableView.reloadData()
}

Is this the right way to implement, or is there another clean way to do this?

Answer 1

Use delegates:

MyCell.swift:

import UIKit

//1. delegate method
protocol MyCellDelegate: AnyObject {
    func btnCloseTapped(cell: MyCell)
}

class MyCell: UICollectionViewCell {
    @IBOutlet var btnClose: UIButton!

    //2. create delegate variable
    weak var delegate: MyCellDelegate?

    //3. assign this action to close button
    @IBAction func btnCloseTapped(sender: AnyObject) {
        //4. call delegate method
        //check delegate is not nil with `?`
        delegate?.btnCloseTapped(cell: self)
    }
}

MyViewController.swift:

//5. Conform to delegate method
class MyViewController: UIViewController,UITableViewDataSource,UITableViewDelegate,MyCellDelegate {

    //6. Implement Delegate Method
    func btnCloseTapped(cell: MyCell) {
        //Get the indexpath of cell where button was tapped
        let indexPath = self.collectionView.indexPathForCell(cell)
        print(indexPath!.row)
    }

    func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("MyCell") as! MyCell
        //7. assign cell delegate to view controller
        cell.delegate = self

        return cell
    }
}

Answer 2

try the following:

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    var cell = (tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "MainViewCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! MainTableViewCell)
    cell.myButton().addTarget(self, action: Selector("myClickEvent:event:"), forControlEvents: .touchUpInside)
    return cell
}

this function gets the position of the click on the line

@IBAction func myClickEvent(_ sender: Any, event: Any) {
    var touches = event.allTouches()!
    var touch = touches.first!
    var currentTouchPosition = touch.location(inView: feedsList)
    var indexPath = feedsList.indexPathForRow(atPoint: currentTouchPosition)!
    print("position:\(indexPath.row)")
}

Answer 3

NSIndexPath CGPoint :

@IBAction func closeImageButtonPressed(sender: AnyObject) {
    var buttonPosition = sender.convertPoint(CGPointZero, to: self.tableView)
    var indexPath = self.tableView.indexPathForRow(atPoint: buttonPosition)!
}

Answer 4

UIButton , , indexPath callFroRowAtIndexPath.

class VUIButton: UIButton {
    var indexPath: NSIndexPath = NSIndexPath()
}

, indexPath . .

Answer 5

cellForRow:

#import <objc/runtime.h>

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    setAssociatedObject(object: YOURBUTTON, key: KEYSTRING, value: indexPath)
}

@IBAction func closeImageButtonPressed(sender: AnyObject) {
    let val = getAssociatedObject(object: sender, key: KEYSTROKING)
}

val - indexPath, , .

indexPath Swift 4

@objc func buttonClicked(_sender:UIButton){

 let buttonPosition = sender.convert(CGPoint.zero, to: self.tableView)
 let indexPath = self.tableView.indexPathForRow(at:buttonPosition)
 let cell = self.tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath) as! UITableViewCell
 print(cell.itemLabel.text)//print or get item
}
