didSelectRowAt not getting called

Question

I have added UITableView on top of UIView. Added tap gesture to UIView using below code:

   let tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(tapToClose))
    tapGesture.cancelsTouchesInView = false
    tapGesture.numberOfTapsRequired = 1
    vwForTouchClose.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)

when I select on cell didSelectRowAt not getting called instead gesture method is called. Below is ur code at didSelectRowAt:

 func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true)

}

Please help me to solve this issue.

Can you add proper view hierarchy in your code and in which view you are adding tapGesture — Nirav D, Mar 23 '17 at 09:05
Check that delegate of `UITableView` is set or not also add code of your `didSelectRow`method that you have currently added. — Nirav D, Mar 23 '17 at 09:07
@Nirav delegate and datasource are set. func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) { tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true) } — user2931321, Mar 23 '17 at 09:23

You have to cancel UIGestureRecognizer's touches on the TableView. Use delegate method of Gesture Recognizer:

- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldReceiveTouch:(UITouch *)touch
{
    if ([touch.view isDescendantOfView:yourTableView]) {

        return NO;
    }

    return YES;
}
