How can I get the frame of a table view cell in the coordinate space of the table view?

Question

I have a table view with a bunch of cells in it. I want to get the frame of a cell, not in its superview's coordinate space, but in the table view's coordinate space.

A picture would probably explain this better

See the red rectangle? That is the frame of the table cell. And the blue rectangle is the frame of the table view. I want to get the red rectangle that is relative to the blue rectangle.

I tried to use the frame property of UITableViewCell. But that doesn't work because it returns (0, 0, 320, 44). The Y value shouldn't be zero because obviously the cell is not at the top of the screen.

According to the view hierarchy, this is the intended behaviour, because the superview of a table cell is apparently this UITableViewWrapperView, not the table view:

while the table view is this:

So is there a method/property that can get me a CGRect that represents the frame of the table view cell in the coordinate space of the table view?

I think there is a function that can convert a CGRect in a coordinate space to another. But I forgot its name and how to use it. I don't know whether it is helpful in this situation.

Solution

Please use below code

let rectOfCell= tableView.rectForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath)
let rectOfCellInSuperview = tableView.convertRect(rectOfCell, toView: tableView.superview)
