Since iOS 8 I encounter an issue with the swipe to delete gesture on custom UITableViewCell.
The problem seems come from UITextField inside the contentView of UITableViewCell.
It seems to be a problem in iOS 8, I have the same code working fine in iOS 7.
How can I keep the UITextField editable and the swipe to delete gesture working at the same time?
The following worked for me:
self.tableView.panGestureRecognizer.delaysTouchesBegan = YES;
I found a workaround for my issue in iOS 8
Subclass UITextField and add a view on top of the UITextField then add a UIGestureRecognizer for single tap on the "mask" view.
#define SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(v) ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] compare:v options:NSNumericSearch] != NSOrderedAscending)
@interface OMTextField : UITextField
@property (nonatomic,retain) NSNumber*canBecomeFirstResponderFlag;
@end
@implementation OMTextField
-(id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self) {
if (SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(@"8.0")) {
_canBecomeFirstResponderFlag = @0;
UIView*mask = [[UIView alloc] init];
mask.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO;
NSLayoutConstraint *maskT = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:mask attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTop relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTop multiplier:1.0 constant:0.0];
NSLayoutConstraint *maskB = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:mask attribute:NSLayoutAttributeBottom relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self attribute:NSLayoutAttributeBottom multiplier:1.0 constant:0.0];
NSLayoutConstraint *maskL = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:mask attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeft relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeft multiplier:1.0 constant:0.0];
NSLayoutConstraint *maskR = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:mask attribute:NSLayoutAttributeRight relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self attribute:NSLayoutAttributeRight multiplier:1.0 constant:0.0];
[self addSubview:mask];
[self addConstraints:@[maskT,maskB,maskL,maskR]];
UITapGestureRecognizer *singleFingerTap =
[[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self
action:@selector(handleSingleTap:)];
[mask addGestureRecognizer:singleFingerTap];
}
}
return self;
}
-(BOOL)canBecomeFirstResponder{
BOOL canBecomeFirstResponder;
if (SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(@"8.0")) {
canBecomeFirstResponder = [_canBecomeFirstResponderFlag boolValue];
_canBecomeFirstResponderFlag = @0;
}
else{
canBecomeFirstResponder = [self.delegate textFieldShouldBeginEditing:self];
}
return canBecomeFirstResponder;
}
- (void)handleSingleTap:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)recognizer {
_canBecomeFirstResponderFlag = @1;
BOOL souldBecomeFirstResponder = [self.delegate textFieldShouldBeginEditing:self];
if (souldBecomeFirstResponder) {
[self becomeFirstResponder];
}
}
@end
