In the episode I create a strong reference to the tableView from a cell. In this way, I unintentionally create a retain cycle. Since UITableView retains its cells, a weak pointer is appropriate here. Thanks to Scott Williams for pointing this out.

Catching Taps in a Scroll View

Here we subclass UIScrollView into our own class, BSTapScrollView. It implements these methods:

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    [super touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];

    if (!self.dragging) {
        [self.tapDelegate tapScrollView:self touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
    }
}

- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    [super touchesMoved:touches withEvent:event];

    [self.tapDelegate tapScrollView:self touchesCancelled:touches withEvent:event];
}

- (void)touchesCancelled:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    [super touchesCancelled:touches withEvent:event];
    [self.tapDelegate tapScrollView:self touchesCancelled:touches withEvent:event];
}

- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    NSLog(@"Touch on scroll view ended");
    if (!self.dragging) {
        [self.tapDelegate tapScrollView:self touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event];
    } else {
        [super touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event];
    }
}

Note the use of a delegate that handles the tap events. The delegate is defined as:


@protocol BSTapScrollViewDelegate &lt;NSObject&gt;

@optional

- (void)tapScrollView:(BSTapScrollView *)scrollView touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event;
- (void)tapScrollView:(BSTapScrollView *)scrollView touchesCancelled:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event;
- (void)tapScrollView:(BSTapScrollView *)scrollView touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event;

@end

To get this to work, we'll set our cell up as the tapDelegate for our scroll view:

@interface MailMessageCell () &lt;BSTapScrollViewDelegate&gt; ...

And in awakeFromNib...

self.scrollView.tapDelegate = self;
