What is best practice to handle a button touch event for a button of a custom UITableViewCell?
my classes:
MyViewController, MyCustomCell
I can think of three options:
First option- Have the button as a property of MyCustomCell, and then add a target to it in the MyViewController .m file with MyViewController as the target.
MyViewController .m file
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"customCell";
MyCustomCell *cell = (MyCustomCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[MyCustomCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
[cell.theButton addTarget:self
action:@selector(theButtonTapped:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
}
// Configure the cell...
[self configureCell:cell atIndexPath:indexPath];
return cell;
}
- (void)theButtonTapped:(UIButton *)sender
{
MyCustomCell *selectedCell = (MyCustomCell *)sender.superview;
if (selectedCell) {
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForCell:selectedCell];
MyModel *selectedModel = [self.model objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
// do something with the model...
}
}
Second option- If the custom cell was made in IB, Set the nib File's Owner to be MyViewController, implement buttonTapped: method in MyViewController and connect the button's Touch Up Inside event to the buttonTapped: method.
Third option- if the custom cell wasn't made in IB, add a target to the button in the MyCustomCell .m file with
