iphone - UIScrollView inside UITableViewCell touch detect

Question

I have a tableview with 8 custom cells. in the 8th cell I added a scrollView with paging enabled so I can show page 1 and page 2 (or 3, 4... 10) without have a very high cell.

The problem is with the scrollView I can't use didSelectRowAtIndexPath because the cell is behind the scrollView so I'm trying to detect scrollView tap (not swipe).

I played with touchesBegan and touchesEnded but they are never called (I know touches work with UIView only, but maybe.....)

Any help is very appreciated.

Thanks, Max

There is a trick Apple recommends to use in this case, in theirs WWDC 2014 session "Advanced scrollviews" (See Demo starting from 8:10):

[cell.contentView addSubview:_scrollView];
[_scrollView setUserInteractionEnabled:NO];
[cell.contentView addGestureRecognizer:_scrollView.panGestureRecognizer];

That's all what needs to be done, no need to override touchesBegan:, touchesMoved: and others.

I used solution based on overriding of touchesBegan:, touchesMoved:, touchesEnded: and touchesCancelled: previously, but sometimes it caused a weird behaviour: when select a certain cell, method -tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: was called for cell with different indexPath.

Solution from Apple has no side effects so far and looks more elegant.
