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

The simplest solution that did it for me (Swift 5.2)

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, willSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> IndexPath? {
    // Remove checkmark from the row that is currently showing it before adding to one being selected
    if let currentIndexPath = tableView.indexPathForSelectedRow {
        self.tableView.cellForRow(at: currentIndexPath)?.accessoryType = .none
    }

    return indexPath
}

override public func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    self.tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath)?.accessoryType = .checkmark
}

Swift 3.0
Using just one function to keep it simple

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true)

    if let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath as IndexPath) {
        if cell.accessoryType == .checkmark {
            cell.accessoryType = .none
        } else {
            cell.accessoryType = .checkmark
        }
    }   
}

Answer 3

A UITableView keeps selected state for single or multiple selections. So IMO there would need to be a very good reason for keeping an entire parallel state somewhere. If you want to just change the cell's appearance based on select state, do it in the cell.

In your UITableViewCell subclass, override setSelected like so:

override func setSelected(_ selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
    super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)
    self.accessoryType = selected ? .checkmark : .none
}

No need to use any table view delegate methods.

Note: You have to call super.setSelected otherwise the cell doesn't keep the selected state correctly.

Swift 4.0, all together now:

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
var yourData = ["Cool","Sweet","Awesome"]

var checked = [Bool]()

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    checked = Array(repeating: false, count: yourData.count)
}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        return searchData.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt IndexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cell = self.tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("cell") as! UITableViewCell

    //configure you cell here.
    if checked[IndexPath.row] == false{
        cell.accessoryType = .none
    } else if checked[IndexPath.row] {
        cell.accessoryType = .checkmark
    }

    return cell
}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true)

    if let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath as IndexPath) {
        if cell.accessoryType == .checkmark {
            cell.accessoryType = .none
            checked[indexPath.row] = false
        } else {
            cell.accessoryType = .checkmark
            checked[indexPath.row] = true
        }
    }
}

}

Answer 5

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {

    if self.checkedIndex == indexPath.row{

    }else{
        let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath)
        cell?.accessoryType = .checkmark
        let indexPathh = IndexPath(row: checkedIndex, section: 0)
        let UnCheckCell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPathh)
        UnCheckCell?.accessoryType = .none
        checkedIndex = indexPath.row
    }
}

Answer 6

Try this:

var checked = [Bool]() // Have an array equal to the number of cells in your table


func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cell = self.tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("cell") as! UITableViewCell

    //configure you cell here.
    if !checked[indexPath.row] {
        cell.accessoryType = .None
    } else if checked[indexPath.row] {
        cell.accessoryType = .Checkmark
    }
    return cell
}

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
    if let cell = tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath) {
        if cell.accessoryType == .Checkmark {
             cell.accessoryType = .None
             checked[indexPath.row] = false
        } else {
             cell.accessoryType = .Checkmark
             checked[indexPath.row] = true
        }
    }    
}

To reset all the checkboxes:

func resetChecks() {
   for i in 0.. < tableView.numberOfSections {
       for j in 0.. < tableView.numberOfRowsInSection(i) {
            if let cell = tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(NSIndexPath(forRow: j, inSection: i)) {
               cell.accessoryType = .None
            }
       }
   }
}
