How to determine if a user has been clicked on a UITableViewCell for 2 seconds?

Question

I use gesture recognizers:

Initialize to viewDidLoad:

UILongPressGestureRecognizer *longPressRecognizer = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(longPress:)];
 [self.view addGestureRecognizer:longPressRecognizer];

Here is what it looks like longPress:

- (void)longPress:(UILongPressGestureRecognizer*)gestureRecognizer {
 if (gestureRecognizer.minimumPressDuration == 2.0) {
  NSLog(@"Pressed for 2 seconds!");
 }
}

How can I tie this up?

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

How will helpSelectRowAtIndexPath get a link to gestureRecognizer.minimumPressDuration?

I am mainly trying to achieve:

**If a user clicks on a cell, check to see if the press is 2 seconds.**

Answer 1

Try adding it to a UITableViewCell instead of a UITableView by providing tableView: willDisplayCell: forRowAtIndexPath: a method like this:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
     [cell addGestureRecognizer:longPressRecognizer];
}

Answer 2

gesturerecognizer tableviewcell tableview. UITableViewCells UIView, .

Answer 3

add indexpath.row to tableviewcell tag

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

static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
    cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
}
UILongPressGestureRecognizer *longPressRecognizer = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(rowButtonAction:)];
[cell setTag:indexPath.row];
[cell addGestureRecognizer:longPressRecognizer]; 
[longPressRecognizer release];

// Configure the cell...
Group *gp = [_currentItemArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = gp.name;


return cell;

}

and then access this tag in longPress using the [[gestureRecognizer view]] tag (in my code, part of it with myModalViewController.previousObject = [_currentItemArray objectAtIndex: [[sender view] tag]];

-(IBAction)rowButtonAction:(UILongPressGestureRecognizer *)sender{
if (sender.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded) {
    GroupsAdd_EditViewController *myModalViewController = [[[GroupsAdd_EditViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"GroupsAdd_EditViewController" bundle:nil] autorelease];
    myModalViewController.titleText = @"Edit Group";
    myModalViewController.context = self.context;
    myModalViewController.previousObject = [_currentItemArray objectAtIndex:[[sender view] tag]];
    [self.navigationController presentModalViewController:myModalViewController animated:YES];
}

}
