    <p>I'm trying to customise the <a href="https://github.com/xamarin/monotouch-samples/tree/master/BubbleCell" rel="nofollow">BubbleCell sample</a> in Xamarin's MonoTouch samples set. I want to add a UIImageView into the chat bubbles, and make it so when the UIImageView is tapped, the code can do something (in my case, open up a modal view - although for now I'll settle for writing something to the output window).</p> <p>The sample uses MonoTouch.Dialog to lay out the interface, and has a custom cell class that constructs the view and adds it to the UITableViewCell.ContentView.</p> <p>I've managed to get the UIImageView into the cell fairly easily. However, I can't seem to work out how to make the UIImageView respond to taps.</p> <p>I'm doing the construction of the UIImageView in the constructor of BubbleCell (in Bubble.cs), and at the same time, I add the following lines in:</p> <pre><code>var tap = new UITapGestureRecognizer(); tap.AddTarget( () =&gt; { Console.WriteLine("I'll do something here"); }); imageView.UserInteractionEnabled = true; imageView.AddGestureRecognizer(tap); </code></pre> <p>The code compiles and runs fine, but when I tap the UIImageView, nothing happens.</p> <p>I've tried a few changes, none of which fixed this:</p> <ul> <li>I swapped out the UIImageView for a custom UIButton.</li> <li>I went through the superview hierarchy of both the cell and the UITableView and made sure all of the superviews have the UserInteractionEnabled properties set to true. They do.</li> <li>I removed the UITapGestureRecognizer and tried subclassing UIImageView and intercepting the TouchesBegan/TouchesEnded methods (they were never called)</li> </ul> <p>Is there anything special I need to do to make the table cells within MonoTouch.Dialog work with user interaction?</p>

    1. CODoes responding to touchesBegan not work? See [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/855095/how-can-i-detect-the-touch-event-of-an-uiimageview) for a similar scenario

    2. CONo, unfortunately - as I said in the question, subclassing UIImageView and responding to touchesBegan didn't work - none of the TouchesBegan/TouchesEnded etc methods were ever invoked. I also overrode the CanBecomeFirstResponder method in the subclass and returned true, and this didn't help either.

    3. COsorry, missed that bit in your question. I think you should be able to do it that way, without using gestures, but I'm not sure why that's not working.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
