UITableViewCell checkmark to be toggled on and off when tapped

Question

I\'m working on a tableview

I want to be able to tap on each cell and when tapped, it displays a checkmark on the cell

Now I have some code that makes this w

Answer 1

Swift > 3.0

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didDeselectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    if let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath) {
        cell.accessoryType = .none
    }
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    if let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath) {
        cell.accessoryType = .checkmark

    }
}

I solved by using two Swift functions: the didSelectRowAtIndexPath and the didDeselectRowAtIndexPath.

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didDeselectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
    if let cell = tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath) {
        cell.accessoryType = .None
    }
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
    if let cell = tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath) {
        cell.accessoryType = .Checkmark

    }
}

To make this work properly, add a line of code to your cellForRowAtIndexPath function to select a row when the table view is drawn on the screen, otherwise the didDeselectRowAtIndexPath will not be called the first time you select another row. Like so:

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("cellData", forIndexPath: indexPath) 
    if (some condition to initially checkmark a row)
        cell.accessoryType = .Checkmark
        tableView.selectRowAtIndexPath(indexPath, animated: false, scrollPosition: UITableViewScrollPosition.Bottom)
    } else {
        cell.accessoryType = .None
    }

    return cell
}
