UIButton click sender always go to selected option - ios

Question

I have a UIButton click sender as below:-
-(IBAction)clipButtonClick:(UIButton *)sender
{
sender.selected = ! sender.selected;
if (sender.selected)
{
[btnClipCategory setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"imgClip_HL"] forState:UIControlStateSelected];
NSMutableArray* indexArray = [NSMutableArray array];
for (NSInteger i = 0; i < self.arySubCategory.count; i++)
{
[aryCheckCategoryList replaceObjectAtIndex:i withObject:#"YES"];
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:i inSection:0];
[indexArray addObject:indexPath];
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[self.rightTableView reloadData];
});
}
}
else
{
[btnClipCategory setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"imgClip"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
NSMutableArray* indexArray = [NSMutableArray array];
for (NSInteger i = 0; i < self.arySubCategory.count; i++)
{
[aryCheckCategoryList replaceObjectAtIndex:i withObject:#"NO"];
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:i inSection:0];
[indexArray addObject:indexPath];
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[self.rightTableView reloadData];
});
}
}
}
When I clicked on the button, sender will always hit on selected option.
If i change the sender to code to sample code as below, my apps will working properly as expected. Any idea? Please help. Thank you.
-(IBAction)clipButtonClick:(UIButton *)sender
{
sender.selected = ! sender.selected;
if (sender.selected)
{
[btnClipCategory setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"imgClip_HL"] forState:UIControlStateSelected];
NSLog(#"Selected. Will Hit here");
}
else
{
[btnClipCategory setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"imgClip"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
NSLog(#"Non Selected. Will Hit here");
}
}
Edited
I put my button under willDisplayHeaderView.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayHeaderView:(UIView *)view forSection:(NSInteger)section{
UITableViewHeaderFooterView *header = (UITableViewHeaderFooterView *)view;
btnClipCategory = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[btnClipCategory setFrame:CGRectMake(header.frame.size.width - 45, header.frame.size.height * 0.2, ScreenW * 0.1, ScreenW * 0.1)];
[btnClipCategory addTarget:self action:#selector(clipButtonClick:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[header addSubview:btnClipCategory];
}

When you call [self.rightTableView reloadData], all the content of the table view including sections headers gets reloaded, and tableView:willDisplayHeaderView:forSection: gets called for each visible section header. So your bntClipCategory gets recreated with default value of isSelected each time click action fires.
You don't reload rightTableView in your working code sample, that's why it works.
You should reconsider you approach. One of the options is to save isSelected state of buttons for each section in array and update btnClipCategory.isSelected accordingly before adding it to header view.
