Determine tapped element within UICollectionViewCell

Question

I have an UICollectionView with custom cells. When I tap a cell I get a collectionView: didSelectItemAtIndexPath:.

This doesn't allow me to determine which element inside the cell was tapped (image or label). How to determine which element within the cell was tapped?

Answer 1

You have to subclass UICollectionViewCell and have these kind of objects in your UICollectioView. Then you create a delegate in the cells with methods like

- (void)collectionCell:(UICollectionViewCell *)cell didTapButtonWithIndex:(NSUInteger)index

and set your view controller as delegate for each of this cell. So you would get the action in these methods instead of collectionView: didSelectItemAtIndexPath:
