UITableViewCell Accessory Type Checked on Tap & Set other unchecked

Question

I am confused a little bit about settings table view cell accessories.

I have fixed two sections in my table

• Home
• Office

What I

Answer 1

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{

    UITableViewCell *newCell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];

    if (newCell.accessoryType == UITableViewCellAccessoryNone) {
        newCell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
    }else {
        newCell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
    }


}

also you need to remove the checkmark accessory on cellForRowAtIndexPath

if ([selectedOptionsArray indexOfObject:cell.textLabel.text] != NSNotFound) {
    cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
}else{
    cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
}

Answer 2

A shortest and easiest way to implement logic for checkmark in selected row only.....

---

1.Create a global object of NSIndexPath..

selectedIndexPathForCheckMark= [[NSIndexPath alloc] init];

2.In didSelectRowAtIndexPath..

//Assiging selected indexPath to the declared object

selectedIndexPathForCheckMark = indexPath;  
[tableView reloadData];

3.in cellForRowAtIndexPath..

if ([selectedIndexPathForCheckMark isEqual:indexPath]) {
    [cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark];
}else {
    //setAccessoryType None if not get the selected indexPath
    [cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryNone];
}

Answer 3

Considering you only want to maintain a single selection, and if you have a custom UITableViewCell, I would recommend the following.

In your UITableViewController

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, willDisplayCell cell: UITableViewCell, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
    //... 
    let data = dataArray[indexPath.row]
    if data.isSelected {
        tableView.selectRowAtIndexPath(indexPath, animated: false, scrollPosition: .None)
    }
    //...

    return cell
}

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
    let data = dataArray[indexPath.row]
    data.isSelected = true
    let cell = tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath)
    cell?.setSelected(true, animated: true)
}

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didDeselectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
    let data = dataArray[indexPath.row]
    data.isSelected = false
    let cell = tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath)
    cell?.setSelected(false, animated: true)
}

In the custom UITableViewCell

override func setSelected(selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
    super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)

    // Configure the view for the selected state
    self.accessoryType = .None
    if selected {
        self.accessoryType = .Checkmark
    }
}

As long as allowsMultipleSelection is not enabled, it will automatically handle deselecting other cells when a new one is selected. If allowMultipleSelection is enabled, then it will work as well, except you will just need to tap again to deselect.
