Menu for cell doesn't appear

[Isuru-Nanayakkara]

Hi,

I have implemented the following 3 delegate methods for UITableView to show a copy menu item to copy a cell.

- (void)tableView:(UITableView*)tableView performAction:(SEL)action forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath*)indexPath withSender:(id)sender {

    if (action == @selector(copy:)) {
        if (action == @selector(copy:)) {
        SWTableViewCell *cell = (SWTableViewCell *)[self tableView:tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
        self.copiedName = cell.textLabel.text;

        [self.items insertObject:self.copiedName atIndex:indexPath.row];
        NSIndexPath *path = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:indexPath.row inSection:0];

        [self.tableView beginUpdates];
        [tableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:@[path] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationBottom];
        [self.tableView endUpdates];
    }
}

- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView*)tableView canPerformAction:(SEL)action forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath*)indexPath withSender:(id)sender {

    if (action == @selector(copy:)) {
        return YES;
    }

    return NO;
}

- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView shouldShowMenuForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath*)indexPath {
    return YES;
}

This works just fine in normal UITableViewCells. But when using SWTableViewCell, that little copy menu doesn't show up. I put breakpoints at each of these methods but none of them gets fired even.

Can anyone please tell me why this is happening and possibly a way to fix this?

Many thanks.

EDIT 1: I looked through the source files in SWTableViewCell and it seems there's a special long press gesture recognizer class. Since the copy menu appears when long pressing on a cell too, the cause might be this long press gesture is interfering with that, I guess? Is there any way to turn off the SWLongPressGestureRecognizer?

EDIT 2: I commented out the following code block from SWTableViewCell.m file and as expected my issue was resolved.

self.longPressGestureRecognizer = [[SWLongPressGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(scrollViewPressed:)];
self.longPressGestureRecognizer.cancelsTouchesInView = NO;
self.longPressGestureRecognizer.minimumPressDuration = kLongPressMinimumDuration;
self.longPressGestureRecognizer.delegate = self;
[self.cellScrollView addGestureRecognizer:self.longPressGestureRecognizer];

But I'd rather do this in a non-hackish way because I'm not sure weather that long press is an essential part for the control to work. So my question still stands.

@Isuru-Nanayakkara Man i currently not user the long press functionality in the library. I comment this functionality and it worked for now

I have a similar issue.
In UITextView on SWTableViewCell, Selecting text with the long press is not working.

(Currently I avoid the problem with .
But essentially it's the same as the comment out of @Isuru-Nanayakkara.)
