How to deselect a selected UITableView cell?

Question

I am working on a project on which I have to preselect a particular cell.

I can preselect a cell using -willDisplayCell, but I can\'t deselect it when t

Answer 1

Try this:

for (NSIndexPath *indexPath in tableView.indexPathsForSelectedRows) {
    [tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:NO];
}

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

In addition to setting the cell as selected, you also need to inform the tableView that the cell is selected. Add a call to -tableView:selectRowAtIndexPath:animated:scrollPosition: to your willDisplayCell: method: and you will be able to deselect it as normal.

- (void)tableView:(UITableView*)tableView 
  willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell*)cell
forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath*)indexPath
{ 
    AppDelegate_iPad *appDelegte = (AppDelegate_iPad *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];

    if ([appDelegte.indexPathDelegate row] == [indexPath row])
    {
        // SELECT CELL
        [cell setSelected:YES]; 
        // TELL TABLEVIEW THAT ROW IS SELECTED
        [tableView selectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:NO scrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionNone];   
    } 
}

Be sure to use UITableViewScrollPositionNone to avoid odd scrolling behavior.

Answer 4

Swift 2.0:

tableView.deselectRowAtIndexPath(indexPath, animated: true)

Answer 5

This is a solution for Swift 4

 in tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath)

just add

tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true)

it works like a charm

example:

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

Answer 6

Please check with the delegate method whether it is correct or not. For example;

-(void) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didDeselectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

for

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