Getting the exact location of a UITableViewCell

Apart from rectForRowAtIndexPath you need to consider the scrolling.

Try this code:

 // Get the cell rect and adjust it to consider scroll offset CGRect cellRect = [tableView rectForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath]; cellRect = CGRectOffset(cellRect, -tableView.contentOffset.x, -tableView.contentOffset.y); 

Try the following(sending nil as a toView parameter means you want to convert you rect to window coordinates):

CGRect r = [cell convertRect:cell.frame toView:nil]; 

And remember that if particular row is not currently visible then there may not be UITableViewCell for it - so before using that code you may need to check if cell is valid (not nil for example)

Swift 3

Relative to the tableView:

let rect = self.tableView.rectForRow(at: indexPath) 

Relative to the Screen:

If you only know the cell,

if let indexPath = tableView.indexPath(for: cell) { let rect = self.tableView.rectForRow(at: indexPath) let rectInScreen = self.tableView.convert(rect, to: tableView.superview) } 

If you know the indexPath then don't need call the if statement.

try it in

didSelectRowAtIndexPath method

UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath]; // get current location of selected cell CGRect rectInTableView = [tableView rectForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath]; CGRect rectInSuperview = [tableView convertRect:rectInTableView toView:[tableView superview]]; NSLog(@"Cell Y Is %f",rectInSuperview.origin.y); NSLog(@"Cell X Is %f",rectInSuperview.origin.x); 

Jhaliya's answer wasn't quite enough for me, I needed to do some more manipulations to get it working. My tableView was added to a viewController and its location on the right half way down the screen. So you need to take the tableView origin into account aswel as the scroll offset.

CGRect rowRect = [tableView rectForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath]; CGPoint offsetPoint = [self.infoTableView contentOffset]; // remove the offset from the rowRect rowRect.origin.y -= offsetPoint.y; // Move to the actual position of the tableView rowRect.origin.x += self.infoTableView.frame.origin.x; rowRect.origin.y += self.infoTableView.frame.origin.y; 

For future viewers, I was having trouble getting a reliable frame for cells in a UITableView. I was trying to display a UIAlertController in ActionSheet style on an iPad which needs a popover presentation. In the end this approach yielded the best results:

// 44 is the standard height for a cell in a UITableView // path is the index path of the relevant row // controller is the UIAlertController CGRect frame = CGRectZero; frame.origin.y = 44 * path.row; frame.origin.x = table.frame.origin.x; frame.size = CGSizeMake(table.frame.size.width, 44); controller.popoverPresentationController.sourceRect = [tableView convertRect:frame toView:self.view]; controller.popoverPresentationController.sourceView = self.view; 

Swift-version of Tomasz and Jhaliya's answers in case anyone (else) struggles with this:

var cellRect = tableView.rectForRow(at: indexPath) cellRect = cellRect.offsetBy(dx: -tableView.contentOffset.x, dy: -tableView.contentOffset.y) 

If you really need to convert specifically to a point in the window, you could do this:

[yourAppDelegate.window convertPoint:[cell.contentView.center] fromView:[cell.contentView]]; 

I used the cells center coordinate, but you could use any point you want.

Vladimir is right, watch out for rows that are not visible (or that have been recycled).
