Detect UITableViewCell Click in custom Controller

I have an UITableViewController with some static cells embedded into an UIViewController using a container view. Within this UITableViewController I need the possibility to toggle the visibility of a cell containing an UIPickerView. I tried the following within my TableViewController to detect a tap on the cell but it didn't print anything:

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath: NSIndexPath) {
    print("Tap detected.", didSelectRowAtIndexPath)
}

I also tried working with reuse identifiers but it returned null at every cell.

Can you tell me how to detect a tap on a cell within the TableViewController? Complete code attached.

I checked your code and saw that you are adding a tap gesture recognizer to the whole view. It might be that this stops touches from being transferred to the tableview cells. I would try removing that gesture recognizer and then try again if you reach the didSelect function when clicking the cells.

If you setted correctly the delegate and datasource of tableView, you should change the function to the following and see if you actually print the row: 

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
      print("Tap detected. Selected indexPath is: \(indexPath.row)")
}

Try to update your viewDidLoad method as follows

override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.tableView.delegate = self
self.tableView.dataSource = self
}
