Answer 1

 {
        let cell:FilterTableViewCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "filtercell", for: indexPath) as! FilterTableViewCell

        // Configure the cell...
        cell.lblCategory?.attributedText = FontAttributes.sharedInstance.AttributesString(message: self.filterArray[indexPath.row], color: Textcolor)

        cell.BtnIndex?.addTarget(self, action: #selector(checkMarkTapped(_ :)), for: .touchUpInside)
        cell.BtnIndex?.tag = indexPath.row


        let rowid = indexPath.row
        let found = rowsWhichAreChecked.filter{$0.rowId == rowid}.count > 0
        if found
        {
             cell.BtnIndex?.setImage(checkedImage, for: .normal)
        }
        else
        {
             cell.BtnIndex?.setImage(uncheckedImage, for: .normal)

        }
        return cell
    }

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


        let cell:FilterTableViewCell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath) as! FilterTableViewCell



        let rowid = indexPath.row

       let found = rowsWhichAreChecked.filter{$0.rowId == rowid}.count > 0

        if found
        {
            tempArrayFordelete = rowsWhichAreChecked
            for obj in tempArrayFordelete
            {
                if let index = rowsWhichAreChecked.index(where: { $0.rowId == obj.rowId }) {
                    // removing item
                    rowsWhichAreChecked.remove(at: index)
                    cell.BtnIndex?.setImage(uncheckedImage, for: .normal)
                }
            }
        }
        else
        {

            cell.BtnIndex?.setImage(checkedImage, for: .normal)
            let objrowId = selectedIndex(rowId: indexPath.row)
            rowsWhichAreChecked.append(objrowId)

Answer 2

It gives me a great pleasure to inform you all that solve above issue

Resolving Issue Is

1. CheckBox Functionality
2. RadioButton Functionality
3. ReuseCell(tableView.dequeueReusableCell)//Also solve selected cell position issue.

Tested Code

• Swift 5
• iOS 12.2

Here is my code

import UIKit

class countrySelection:UITableViewCell{
     @IBOutlet weak var imgFlag: UIImageView!
     @IBOutlet weak var lblCountryName: UILabel!
     @IBOutlet weak var btnSelection: UIButton!
}

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    var listingDict=[[String:String]]()

    var radioOption:Int?// Only used :: if u are 2. RadioButton Functionality implement

    @IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
    
        tableView.dataSource=self
        tableView.delegate=self
    
        fillCountryData()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
    }

    func fillCountryData(){
        self.fillJsonData(imgName: "india_flag", countryName: "India")
        self.fillJsonData(imgName: "pakistan_flag", countryName: "Pakistan")
        self.fillJsonData(imgName: "israel_flag", countryName: "Israel")
        self.fillJsonData(imgName: "albania_flag", countryName: "Albania")
        self.fillJsonData(imgName: "america_flag", countryName: "America")
        self.fillJsonData(imgName: "belize_flag", countryName: "Belize")
        self.fillJsonData(imgName: "brunei_flag", countryName: "Brunei")
        self.fillJsonData(imgName: "comoros_flag", countryName: "Comoros")
        self.fillJsonData(imgName: "congo_flag", countryName: "Congo")
        self.fillJsonData(imgName: "ecuador_flag", countryName: "Ecuador")
        self.fillJsonData(imgName: "haiti_flag", countryName: "Haiti")
        self.fillJsonData(imgName: "jamaica_flag", countryName: "Jamaica")
        self.fillJsonData(imgName: "kenya_flag", countryName: "Kenya")
        self.fillJsonData(imgName: "mali_flag", countryName: "Mali")
    
        self.tableView.reloadData()
    }

    func fillJsonData(imgName:String,countryName:String){
        var dictData=[String:String]()
        dictData["img"]=imgName
        dictData["country"]=countryName
        dictData["check"]="false"
        listingDict.append(dictData)
    }

}

extension ViewController:UITableViewDataSource,UITableViewDelegate{

    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        return listingDict.count
    }

    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        let cell=tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "countrySelection") as! countrySelection
        let dictVal=listingDict[indexPath.row]
        cell.lblCountryName.text=dictVal["country"]
        cell.imgFlag.image=UIImage(named:dictVal["img"]!)
    
        /*//Check Box Functionality
        if dictVal["check"] == "false"{
            cell.btnSelection.setImage(UIImage(named: "checkbox_UnSelect"), for: .normal)
        } else{
            cell.btnSelection.setImage(UIImage(named: "checkbox_Select"), for: .normal)
        }*/
    
        //RadioButton Functionality
        if radioOption==indexPath.row{
            listingDict[indexPath.row]["check"]="true"
            cell.btnSelection.setImage(UIImage(named: "radioButton_Select"), for: .normal)
        } else{
            listingDict[indexPath.row]["check"]="false"
            cell.btnSelection.setImage(UIImage(named: "radioButton_UnSelect"), for: .normal)
        }
    
        return cell
    }

    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
        /*//CheckBox Functionality
        if listingDict[indexPath.row]["check"]=="true"{
            listingDict[indexPath.row]["check"]="false"
        } else{
            listingDict[indexPath.row]["check"]="true"
        }*/
        //RadioButton Functionality
        print("RadioButton",listingDict)
        if listingDict[indexPath.row]["check"]=="true"{
            radioOption=nil
        } else{
            radioOption=indexPath.row
        }
    
        self.tableView.reloadData()
    }
}

Answer 3

In order to solve your issue, as @El Capitan mentioned, you will need to use the didSelectRowAtIndexPath method to change its states. Your codes should look something along the lines of this:

// Declare a variable which stores checked rows. UITableViewCell gets dequeued and restored as you scroll up and down, so it is best to store a reference of rows which has been checked
var rowsWhichAreChecked = [NSIndexPath]()

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
      let cell:FavCell = tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath) as! FavCell
      // cross checking for checked rows
      if(rowsWhichAreChecked.contains(indexPath) == false){
         cell.checkBox.isChecked = true
         rowsWhichAreChecked.append(indexPath) 
      }else{
         cell.checkBox.isChecked = false
         // remove the indexPath from rowsWhichAreCheckedArray
         if let checkedItemIndex = rowsWhichAreChecked.indexOf(indexPath){
            rowsWhichAreChecked.removeAtIndex(checkedItemIndex)
         }
      }
}

To redisplay cells which have been checked before after scrolling the rows out of view, at your cellForRowAtIndexPath, perform the same checking against rowsWhichAreChecked array and set its states accordingly.

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

let cell:FavCell = self.FavTableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("FCell") as! FavCell
cell.FLabel1.text=arrDict[indexPath.section] .valueForKey("favourite_name") as? String
cell.FLabel2.text=arrDict[indexPath.section] .valueForKey("favourite_address") as? String


   if(rowsWhichAreChecked.contains(indexPath) == false){
         cell.checkBox.isChecked = true
    }else{
        cell.checkBox.isChecked = false
    }
  }
    return cell           
}

EDITED ANSWER

I have got your code to work but I had to make some modifications to your Checkbox class and ViewController

Checkbox.swift

class CheckBoxButton: UIButton {

    // Images
    let checkedImage = UIImage(named: "CheckBoxChecked")! as UIImage
    let uncheckedImage = UIImage(named: "CheckBoxUnChecked")! as UIImage

    // Bool property
    var isChecked: Bool = false {
        didSet{
            if isChecked == true {
                self.setImage(uncheckedImage, forState: .Normal)
            } else {
                self.setImage(checkedImage, forState: .Normal)
            }
        }
    }

    override func awakeFromNib() {
        self.userInteractionEnabled = false
//        self.addTarget(self, action: #selector(CheckBoxButton.buttonClicked(_:)), forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
//        self.isChecked = false
    }

    func buttonClicked(sender: UIButton) {
        if sender == self {
            if isChecked == true {
                isChecked = false
            } else {
                isChecked = true
            }
        }
    }

}

ViewController.swift

class FavVC: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {


    @IBOutlet weak var FavTableView: UITableView!


    var rowsWhichAreChecked = [NSIndexPath]()

    //var FData = [FavouritesData]()

    var arrDict :NSMutableArray=[]

    let cellSpacingHeight: CGFloat = 5  // cell spacing from each cell in table view

    override func viewDidLoad() {

        self.FavTableView.delegate = self
        self.FavTableView.dataSource = self

        super.viewDidLoad()

        FavTableView.registerNib(nib, forCellReuseIdentifier: "FCell")

    }

    // web services method
    func jsonParsingFromURL ()
    {
//        let token = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().valueForKey("access_token") as? String

        let url = NSURL(string: "some url")

        let session = NSURLSession.sharedSession()

        let request = NSURLRequest(URL: url!)

        let dataTask = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request) { (data:NSData?, response:NSURLResponse?, error:NSError?) -> Void in
            // print("done, error: \(error)")

            if error == nil
            {

                dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue())
                {
                    self.arrDict=(try! NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers)) as! NSMutableArray
                    if (self.arrDict.count>0)

                        self.FavTableView.reloadData()
                    }
                }

            }


        }
        dataTask.resume()
