How do I use UILongPressGestureRecognizer with a UICollectionViewCell in Swift?

I would like to figure out how to println the indexPath of a UICollectionViewCell when I long press on a cell.

How can I do that in Swift?

I have looked all over for an example of how to do this; can't find one in Swift.

First you your view controller need to be UIGestureRecognizerDelegate. Then add a UILongPressGestureRecognizer to your collectionView in your viewcontroller's viewDidLoad() method

class ViewController: UIViewController, UIGestureRecognizerDelegate {

     override func viewDidLoad() {
         super.viewDidLoad()

        let lpgr = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "handleLongPress:")
         lpgr.minimumPressDuration = 0.5
         lpgr.delaysTouchesBegan = true
         lpgr.delegate = self
         self.collectionView.addGestureRecognizer(lpgr)
    }

The method to handle long press:

func handleLongPress(gestureReconizer: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {
        if gestureReconizer.state != UIGestureRecognizerState.Ended {
            return
        }

        let p = gestureReconizer.locationInView(self.collectionView)
        let indexPath = self.collectionView.indexPathForItemAtPoint(p)

        if let index = indexPath {
            var cell = self.collectionView.cellForItemAtIndexPath(index)
            // do stuff with your cell, for example print the indexPath
             println(index.row)
        } else {
            println("Could not find index path")
        }
    }

This code is based on the Objective-C version of this answer.
