Custom UIButtons in UITableViewCell (need to determine row)

Question

Each cell in my UITableView contains a custom UIButton. I can't seem to detect in which cell the currently pressed button lies. Method gets called but indexPath.row is always 0. Any suggestions?

-(IBAction)editButtonTouch:(id)sender {
   UITableViewCell *cell = (UITableViewCell *)[sender superview];
   NSIndexPath *indexPath = [[self tableView] indexPathForCell:cell];
   switch([indexPath row]) {
       case 0:
           NSLog(@"first row");
           break;
       case 1:
           NSLog(@"second row");
           break;
   }
}

Make editButtonTouch detect which row the user currently touched — oyvindhauge, Oct 04 '14 at 12:58

This:

UITableViewCell *cell = (UITableViewCell *)[sender superview];

actually needs to be

UITableViewCell *cell = (UITableViewCell *)[[[sender superview] superview] superview];

But a better way of doing this is illustrated here: Detecting which UIButton was pressed in a UITableView

(UITableViewCell *)[[[sender superview] superview] superview]; didn't work (indexPath still always 0). Will check out the linked thread. – oyvindhauge Oct 03 '14 at 16:48
ok, so i modified this answer by removing one superview call (leaving only two) and it worked! Thanks @marosoaie :) – oyvindhauge Oct 04 '14 at 13:09
