Why is -didDeselectRowAtIndexPath not being called?

Question

I created a fresh project (Xcode 4, Master-Detail application) just to see if I\'m doing something wrong, but I still have the same problem. I want to call -reloadData

Answer 1

I think it's just simple mistake! Why don't you use following:

[self.tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];

Instead of using just "tableView" in that line?
I guess, and pretty sure that above line would give you the solution!
hope this helped you, if you looked back at your old question!!!
Kudos! :)

Answer 2

One other quirk that I've found — in IOS 5.1, at any rate — is that if you call reloadData on the table, you won't get didDeselectRowAtIndexPath for any selected rows. In my case, I adjust the cell layout slightly depending on whether it's selected or not, so I needed to manually do that work prior to reloading the table data.

Answer 3

Set allowsMultipleSelection for that tableview to TRUE

  self.tableView.allowsMultipleSelection = YES;

Answer 4

I know this is an old question but I just ran into the same problem.

If you use

[tableView reloadData]

Then The table data is reloaded and no rows are selected behind the scenes - meaning

only

didSelectRowAtIndexPath

is ever called. I hope this helps someone who comes across this problem.
