UICollectionView didSelectItemAtIndexPath not called when tapped on UITextView

Question

I have a UICollectionView with custom cells- They have a UITextView that mostly covers the entire cell. This presents a problem when using didSelectItemAtIndexPath. The only way to trigger it is by tapping outside the UITextView. I want it to trigger wherever in the cell you tap, whether there is a text view or not. How can this be done?

Answer 1

I would suggest to use UIGestureRecognizer for each cell and when it taped to send it to UITextView or whatever , perhaps there maybe a better solutions , but I would use this 1 because of simplicity reasons.
