How to maintain cell selection in NSUserDefaults?

Question

https://github.com/lminhtm/LMDropdownView

How can I save the last selected cell in NSUserDefault? When the application is reopened the selection should be maintained.

Currently, the default cell is selected whenever the app opens.

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    self.mapTypes = @[@"Standard", @"Satellite", @"Hybrid"];
    self.currentMapTypeIndex = 0;

    self.dropPinButton.layer.cornerRadius = 5;
    self.removeAllPinsButton.layer.cornerRadius = 5;
    self.moreButton.layer.cornerRadius = 5;
    self.moreButton.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeZero;
    self.moreButton.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.5;
    self.moreButton.layer.shadowRadius = 1.0;
}

- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews
{
    [super viewDidLayoutSubviews];

    self.menuTableView.frame = CGRectMake(CGRectGetMinX(self.menuTableView.frame),
                                          CGRectGetMinY(self.menuTableView.frame),
                                          CGRectGetWidth(self.view.bounds),
                                          MIN(CGRectGetHeight(self.view.bounds) - 50, self.mapTypes.count * 50));
    self.moreBottomView.frame = CGRectMake(CGRectGetMinX(self.moreBottomView.frame),
                                           CGRectGetMinY(self.moreBottomView.frame),
                                           CGRectGetWidth(self.view.bounds),
                                           CGRectGetHeight(self.moreBottomView.bounds));
}

You get selected index in didSelectRowAtIndexPath .. store that in userdefaults

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
     [tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:NO];

     self.currentMapTypeIndex = indexPath.row;
     [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setInteger:self.currentMapTypeIndex forKey:@"selected_map_type"];
     [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]synchronize];

     [self.dropdownView hide];
 }

To retrieve it .. in viewDidLoad

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    self.mapTypes = @[@"Standard", @"Satellite", @"Hybrid"];
    self.currentMapTypeIndex= [[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:@"selected_map_type"]integerValue] ? [[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:@"selected_map_type"]integerValue] : 0;
   // ... continue with your code ...
}
