UITableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath position in view?

[zenox]

I am handling the didSelectRowAtIndexPath and getting the cell. I am trying to figure out its location on the screen. Using the following code:

- (void)tableViewUITableView *)aTableView didSelectRowAtIndexPathNSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UITableViewCell * cell = [aTableView cellForRowAtIndexPath: indexPath];

CGRect location = cell.frame;
}

The location however is the cells location in the tableview, not the location in the visible region. Is there anyway I can map this back to the visible region?

UITableView has a method 'indexPathsForVisibleRows' that returns an array of index paths of visible rows, or 'visibleCells' that returns array of visible table cells. Visit UITableView class reference at apple website. UITableView Class Reference

Thanks but I think you may have misunderstood. Rather than looking for the visible cells, im looking for the onscreen position of a cell.

I don't think there is a quick way to do it. You will have to access the parent views and calculate your own offset I think.

The zeroth cell in the array returned by visibleCells will be at the first position on the screen. Is this something u r referring as 'onscreen' position?

I think it is more a question of getting the absolute location of an object versus the relative location.

Thats a good point. I was thinking there may of been a built in way of calculating it, but based off the zeroth visible cell should work perfect. Thanks!

I used :

- (void)tableViewUITableView *)aTableView didSelectRowAtIndexPathNSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
CGRect location = [tableView rectForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
}
