I have a collectionView inside the table cells, but i can only click on the table cells.
Is there a way to disable user interaction on the table cells but enable it on the collectionCells inside the table cells, or a way to enter inside the table cells?
I show you an image below, where i cant click on the videos.

I am trying whit this and it works, but i cant scroll up the table view, i can only scroll down
public override var preferredFocusEnvironments: [UIFocusEnvironment] {
return [collectionView]
}
Solved it by adding this code to my TableViewCell:
public override var canBecomeFocused: Bool {
return false
}

I am a beginner learning Swift and trying to build a search page with Swift. In my search page of the app, I have added two Views in my storyboard with one View above the other.
The upper View contains a Collection View where I have two prototypes of collection view cells. The first type of the cells has Label. The second type of the cells has TextField.
The other View on the bottom half of the screen contains a dynamic Table View where I have a list of items that can be selected. Each row of the table view cells has a selection item.
So, when I tap on a table view cell, the selection item will appear in the collection view. If I type a keyword in the TextField in the collection view, table view reloads and shows all the selection items that has the keyword, so I can tap and add an item to the collection view.
I would like to keep adding by typing a keyword after I tap on a searched item in the table view. So, I made the first cell showing selected items with labels and the second cell that has the TextField separated into two sections of the collection view. So, I only reload the first section (without TextField) for each selection. But somehow the keyboard automatically resign whenever I tap on the table view cell to add an item to the collection view.
Is there any way I can keep the keyboard up even when I tap on the tableview cells?
The keyboard also resigns when I tap the collection view cells.
I would appreciate your advice. Thanks.
I hope you are having a good day.
You can try calling this method on the UITextField you would like to show the keyboard for (maybe call it after the user taps on the UITableViewCell):
textField.becomeFirstResponder()
where "textField" is the variable name of your UITextField.
Please let me know if this fixed your issue.
Edit #1
Hello! Since my previous solution did not achieve your intended behavior. There is another solution in my mind, however I have not tried it before.
As an introduction to the concept of delegation, there is a method created by Apple called "textFieldShouldEndEditing" which is called by Apple whenever any keyboard will disappear on any text field.
This method is created by Apple, but you can override it (i.e. customize it) to suit your needs and tailor its behavior.
To override this method you have to assign your class as the delegate of UITextField by adding UITextFieldDelegate to your class definition as follows:
class YourClassName: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate { }
Now you have to set your class as the delegate by saying textField.delegate = self For every UITextField you create in your collection views
You then can re-create the method we discussed earlier in your class:
func textFieldShouldEndEditing(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
//let's implement it the next steps, but for now, let's return true.
return true
}
Now instead of Apple calling their version of the method, they will call yours.
You then can create a variable in the top level of your class (I will let you know where this will be helpful later), and "maybe" name it as:
var isCellBeingClicked = false
Now upon clicking on a cell, make this variable true, I believe you are using the method didSelectRowAt (but you could be using any other method which is fine):
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
[...]
isCellBeingClicked = true
[...]
}
Now back to our customized method textFieldShouldEndEditing mentioned in step 3. You can add this implementation:
func textFieldShouldEndEditing(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
//If a cell is being clicked right now, please do not dismiss the keyboard.
if isCellBeingClicked {
isCellBeingClicked = false //reset the value otherwise the keyboard will always be there
return false
}
else { return true }
}
Please let me know if this fixes your issue.
Best regards
I have a segmented control in my application where one of the tabs is a chat controller.
I'm using the input accessory view for the toolbar that has the send button and the textfield.
The problem is i can't hide the input accessory view while switching tabs
I tried hiding it, removing it and adjusting the collection view bottom constraint accordingly when it's hidden or not but that didn't work
override var inputAccessoryView: UIView
{
return inputContainerView
}
override func canBecomeFirstResponder() -> Bool {
return true
}
I am trying to understand how the focus is working when I have button inside Table.
The goal is to create a table view with custom cell, that has the same size as the table view size ( I want to see only one cell at the time ). When the button is getting focused, I want to scroll ( the table view is doing it automatically ), to the next cell and to see only the next cell.
I made sure that the button will be in focus and not table view cell, by override this method in the Table cell:
override var canBecomeFocused: Bool{
return false
}
The button is focused and when I am swipe up/down, the focus is moving between the buttons and not the Table it self ( great success ) ... BUT, the table view is being scrolling automatically, and I want to understand why is some cases ( when the Table and Table Cell are bigger then 360 pixel ) it's scrolling to the next cell and I can see only the next cell ( the table view and the cell in the same size ) , and sometimes ( when the Table and Cell are Smaller then 360 pixel ) the table view scrolling just a little bit, until the next cell is showing only the button ( meaning the cell is not fully shown )
So , I have:
Cell and table view cell size are Greater then 360, we can see that when the button is focused, the table view scrolling to the center of the cell, and we can see only 1 cell:
Cell and table view cell size is Smaller then 360, we can see that when the button is focused, the table view scrolling to some point, when the button is shown
FYI: I think the size of the button is not effecting the scroll, only the table view and table view cell size is effect the scrolling.
Some one? any idea ?
This is the test Project: in order to see it better please change the table view size and the cell size to be smaller then 360, and make sure the UIButton is centered: Project
You can put those methods in UITableViewCell's subclass. see
override var preferredFocusEnvironments: [UIFocusEnvironment]{
// Condition
}
override func shouldUpdateFocus(in context: UIFocusUpdateContext) -> Bool {
// Condition
}
override func didUpdateFocus(in context: UIFocusUpdateContext, with coordinator: UIFocusAnimationCoordinator) {
// Condition
}

Right so i have 2 NSTableViews in my view, if 1 has cell selected i want the other to have none selected, and vise versa if the other one has a cell selected the other should have no cell selected. How can i achieve this?
This is what i have so far, but for obvious reasons its not working.
func tableViewSelectionDidChange(notification: NSNotification) {
//this is how im deselecting rows from the other table view but the reset i cant make work
DayTableView.selectRowIndexes(NSIndexSet(), byExtendingSelection: false)
}
Try this:
- (void)tableViewSelectionDidChange:(NSNotification *)notification {
if ([notification object] == self.table1) {
} else {
NSTableRowView *myRowView = [self.table1 rowViewAtRow:self.table1.selectedRowIndexes.lastIndex makeIfNecessary:NO];
[myRowView setSelectionHighlightStyle:NSTableViewSelectionHighlightStyleRegular];
[myRowView setEmphasized:YES];
[self.table1 selectRowIndexes:self.table1.selectedRowIndexes byExtendingSelection:NO];
}
}
I have a ViewController with 2 TableViews(table1, table2) and using tableViewSelectionDidChange to reselect table1 whenever table2 is selected.
I uploaded a quick demo on github

The problem: HIGHLIGHT vs SCROLLING
My buttons inside the cell where not getting highlighted when I lightly tap on them. I had to tap hard and for a long time to be able to see the tap state of the button.
So I did this in order to set the delaysContentTouches to false (I didn't manage other way to do it) inside viewDidLoad():
for index in tableView.subviews {
if (index.isKindOfClass(UIScrollView)) {
let scrollViewFound = index as! UIScrollView
scrollViewFound.delegate = self
scrollViewFound.delaysContentTouches = false
scrollViewFound.canCancelContentTouches = true
scrollViewFound.scrollEnabled = true
}
}
This way the buttons highlight correctly but then I cannot scroll the table up or down, unless I start dragging from one of the empty cells --> userInteractionEnable = false in the empty cells
What I need:
To be able to highlight the buttons but also to scroll the table.
Is it even possible to have both, scrollable view and highlighted buttons?
What I have tried
I tried calling this function:
func touchesShouldCancelInContentView(view: UIView) -> Bool {
print("touchesShouldCancelInContentView happening---------")
return true
}
Which never gets called. I tried overriding But it gives an error:
Method does not override any method from its superclass
Which is weird, because UITableViewController inherits from UIScrollView. I also tried adding UIScrollViewDelegate to the class definition, but of course it gives another error that this is redundant.
Extra Information
The class is declared like this:
class Settings: UITableViewController, UITextFieldDelegate { ...
The tableView is made of Static Cells
The cells:
Some are empty: where UserInteractionEnable = false
Some have buttons with text field: I want these buttons to get highlighted. UserInteractionEnable = true. The button action is called by .TouchUpInside
Some have labels and a check image: Their action gets called in didSelectRowAtIndexPath which will change the labels colour and check images
Maybe it is relevant to say that when user clicks on any cell didSelectRowAtIndexPath it will
call a function to dismiss the keyboard.
You tried to subclass the wrong class, that's why it doesn't work. You have to subclass the UITableView class itself, and not the UITableViewController.
Can you try the following ?
- First
Subclass the TableView class in order to override the touchesShouldCancelInContentView function.
class UIDraggableTableView: UITableView {
override func touchesShouldCancelInContentView(view: UIView) -> Bool {
if (view.isKindOfClass(UIButton)) {
return true
}
return super.touchesShouldCancelInContentView(view)
}
}
- Second
In your TableViewController class, when viewDidLoad() is called, append the following right after super.viewDidLoad():
self.tableView = DraggableTableView()
This should solve your issue.
