How to programmatically select a row in UITableView in Swift

Question

I need to select a row in a UITableView programmatically using Swift 1.2.

This is the simple code:

var index = NSIndexPath(forRow: 0, inSection: 0)
         


        

Answer 1

Use below code,after loading your table view with data:

let rowToSelect:NSIndexPath = NSIndexPath(forRow: 0, inSection: 0);  //slecting 0th row with 0th section
self.tableView.selectRowAtIndexPath(rowToSelect, animated: true, scrollPosition: UITableViewScrollPosition.None);

now,you have to manually call didSelectRowAtIndexPath: delegate method using below code:

self.tableView(self.tableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath: rowToSelect); //Manually trigger the row to select

Thanks.
