Configuring action for UITableView custom detail disclosure button

Question

I have a UITableView inside of a UIViewController. In my tableView(_:cellForRowAt:, I configured a cell with a custom detailDisclosure button, as follows:

cell.accessoryType = .detailDisclosureButton

I've also implemented tableView(_:accessoryButtonTappedForRowWith:). Using the "factory" detailDisclosureButton works perfectly. I don't care for the icon, so I sought to change it.

After setting the cell.accessoryType, I added the following code:

// declare the button
let customDetailDisclosureButton = UIButton.init(type: .detailDisclosure)

// set the image for .normal and .selected
customDetailDisclosureButton.setImage(UIImage(named: "info")?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate), for: .normal)
customDetailDisclosureButton.setImage(UIImage(named: "info")?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate), for: .selected)

// add a target action
customDetailDisclosureButton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(tableView(_:accessoryButtonTappedForRowWith:)), for: .touchUpInside)

cell.accessoryView = customDetailDisclosureButton

When I load the tableView, it displays fine. When I tap the detailDisclosureButton, it crashes. What am I doing wrong?

Here is the console output:

Answer 1

Replace

// add a target action
customDetailDisclosureButton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(tableView(_:accessoryButtonTappedForRowWith:)), for: .touchUpInside)

with

customDetailDisclosureButton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(ViewController.accessoryButtonTapped(sender:)), for: .touchUpInside)

and then

func accessoryButtonTapped(sender : UIButton){
        let buttonPosition: CGPoint = (sender as! UIButton).convert(.zero, to: tableView)
        let indexPath = tableView.indexPathForRow(at: buttonPosition)
        // do what you gotta do with the indexPath
    }

Answer 2

Try to use delegate method instead of selector method :

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, accessoryButtonTappedForRowWith indexPath: IndexPath) {
   // do you work
}

OR

Add View and its Selector method as below :

let button = UIButton(type: .custom)
button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(HomeViewController.checkButtonTapped(_:event:)), for: .touchUpInside)
cell?.accessoryView = button

Selector

func checkButtonTapped(_ sender: Any, event: Any) {
    let touches: Set<AnyHashable>? = (event as AnyObject).allTouches
    let touch: UITouch? = touches?.first as! UITouch?
    let currentTouchPosition: CGPoint? = touch?.location(in: tblViewHome)
    let indexPath: IndexPath? = youtTblView?.indexPathForRow(at: currentTouchPosition!)
    if indexPath != nil {
        tableView(youtTblView!, accessoryButtonTappedForRowWith: indexPath!)
    }
}
