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

Swift 4.2:

Select one or more Rows

let ndx:IndexSet = [1]
// or:  let ndx:IndexSet = [1, 2, 3]; // etc
tableview?.selectRowIndexes(ndx, byExtendingSelection: false);

Deselect a Single Row

tableview?.deselectRow(current)

Note that if you have (func tableViewSelectionDidChange(...)) implemented, that will be triggered by the above.
