Select the UITableViewCell over the UITextView losing ability to call didSelectRowAtIndexPath Delegate Method?

I am having an issue with my UITableViewCell selection.I am using a UITableViewCell with a UITextView sub view. The UITextView object is not editable, not scrollable, with user interaction enabled.

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{

    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";    
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {      
        cell=[[[NSBundle mainBundle]loadNibNamed:@"DemoCell" owner:self options:nil]objectAtIndex:0];         
        cell. accessoryType=UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
    }
      if([distanceArray count]){ 
        UILabel *label1=(UILabel*)[cell viewWithTag:1];      
        label1.text=[locationNameArray objectAtIndex:[indexPath section]];
        label1.textColor=[UIColor blueColor];
        UILabel *label2=(UILabel*)[cell viewWithTag:2];        
        [label2 setText:[distanceArray objectAtIndex:[indexPath section]]];
        UITextView *tview=(UITextView*)[cell viewWithTag:3];   
        [tview setText:[discriptionArray objectAtIndex:[indexPath section]]];         
        return cell;
      }
    return cell;
}

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{

    DetailedLocationVIew *dView=[[DetailedLocationVIew alloc]initWithNibName:@"DetailedLocationVIew" bundle:nil];       
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:dView animated:YES];
    [dView release];
}

If i select the cell over the UITextView, the delegate didSelectRowIndexPath not calling. Apart from over UITextView object and selection works fine? Why Selection Not working Over UITextView?

If only one subview needs to be disabled, one can do the following in Swift.

theSubTextView.isUserInteractionEnabled = false

This also disables isEditable and isSelectable.

In my case I am resizing the tableViewCell depending on the textView.text length, so I've added a UIView on top of the textView and set its colour to 0.1%white.

Use tview.userInteractionEnabled=NO; and It will solve your problem.

If this doesn't solve your problem then try this out

for(UIView * cellSubviews in cell.subviews)
{
    cellSubviews.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
}

It loops for all the subviews within cell and sets userInteractionEnabled property to NO.

These suggestions were not working for me in iOS 6. What did work is the following.

In your:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

Add this:

cell.textView.dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypeAll;
cell.textView.editable = NO;
cell.textView.userInteractionEnabled = YES;

UITapGestureRecognizer * tap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget: self action: @selector(forwardToDidSelect:)];
cell.tag = indexPath.row;
[cell.textView addGestureRecognizer: tap];

Along with:

- (void) forwardToDidSelect: (UITapGestureRecognizer *) tap
{
    [self tableView: self.tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath: [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow: tap.view.tag inSection: kTextViewCellSection]];
}

It appears to be necessary to set userInteractionEnabled = YES after setting editable = NO. Setting these in the XIB did not seem to work.

Because the UITextView did catch the touch event, you can solve this in 2 ways:

1) Subclass UITextView, catch touch events then pass it to the superView's same method using: ex: 

- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
[self.superview touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event];
}

2) Using UITextView delegate:

- (void)textViewDidBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView
{
NSIndexPath *a = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:[textView tag]];
[tableview didSelectRowAtIndexPath:
}
