Swift 3.0 multiple selection with select all cell - ios

Question

I have added data in table view and I have manually added "select all" option to the list at first position, now when the user selects the first option which is 'select all' then the person manually option "Select all" is not selected. Select all, click then work all person or deselect working but signal selection all the person not working "Select all"
I have tried the code below but it's not working so can any one help me to solve this?
var unchecked:Bool = true
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
// create a new cell if needed or reuse an old one
let cell = ObjTableview.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "Cell", for: indexPath) as! SelectUserCell
// set the text from the data model
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyle.none
cell.lblStudentName.text = getStudentName[indexPath.row]
if UnAll == "unselect" {
if indexPath.row == 0 {
cell.btnCheckbox.setImage(UIImage(named: "unSelectedItem"), for: .normal)
}
if indexPath.row == Int(selectedNumber) {
cell.btnCheckbox.setImage(UIImage(named: "unSelectedItem"), for: .normal)
}
if indexPath.row == Int(unSelectNumber) {
//var j = "\(i)"
cell.btnCheckbox.setImage(UIImage(named: "selectedItem"), for: .normal)
}
}else
{
if(unchecked){
cell.btnCheckbox.setImage(UIImage(named: "unSelectedItem"), for: .normal)
}
else{
cell.btnCheckbox.setImage(UIImage(named: "selectedItem"), for: .normal)
}
}
return cell
}
var UnAll = ""
var selectedNumber = ""
var unSelectNumber = ""
var checkselect:Bool = true
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
UnAll.removeAll()
selectedNumber.removeAll()
unSelectNumber.removeAll()
if(indexPath.row == 0){
btnCheckBoxClick(sender: UIButton())
}else
{
UnAll = "unselect"
btnCheckBoxClick(sender: UIButton())
if checkselect {
selectedNumber = "\(indexPath.row)"
checkselect = false
}else
{
unSelectNumber = "\(indexPath.row)"
checkselect = true
}
print("the selected index is : \(indexPath.row)")
}
}
#IBAction func btnCheckBoxClick(_ sender: Any) {
if(unchecked){
unchecked = false
}
else{
unchecked = true
}
ObjTableview.reloadData()
}

Create a struct for model data with a Bool property. You can modify this property by cell selection.
class ViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
var allCharacters:[Character] = []
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
allCharacters = [Character(name: "All"),Character(name: "Luke Skywalker"),Character(name: "Leia Organa"),Character(name: "Advik Shah"),Character(name: "Aarav Modi")]
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return allCharacters.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
var cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "Cell")
if cell == nil{
cell = UITableViewCell(style: .subtitle, reuseIdentifier: "Cell")
}
cell?.textLabel?.text = allCharacters[indexPath.row].name
if allCharacters[indexPath.row].isSelected
{
cell?.accessoryType = .checkmark
}
else
{
cell?.accessoryType = .none
}
cell?.selectionStyle = .none
return cell!
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
if indexPath.row == 0
{
allCharacters[indexPath.row].isSelected = !allCharacters[indexPath.row].isSelected
for index in allCharacters.indices
{
allCharacters[index].isSelected = allCharacters[indexPath.row].isSelected
}
}
else
{
allCharacters[indexPath.row].isSelected = !allCharacters[indexPath.row].isSelected
if allCharacters.dropFirst().filter({ $0.isSelected }).count == allCharacters.dropFirst().count
{
allCharacters[0].isSelected = true
}
else
{
allCharacters[0].isSelected = false
}
}
tableView.reloadData()
}
}
struct Character
{
var name:String
// var otherDetails
var isSelected:Bool! = false
init(name:String) {
self.name = name
}
}
Creating Array of Struct objects from array of dictionary
let SubjectArray = json["students"] as! [[String:Any]]
allCharacters = SubjectArray.map({ Character(name: $0["studentName"] as! String) })
allCharacters.insert(Character(name:"All"), at: 0)

I like #Pranil's suggestion of using a separate section for the "All" row, so I have stolen that.
You can use an NSMutableIndexSet for tracking the selected rows. This is simpler than having to create a new struct or array of booleans or something. The only thing you do need to be aware of is if your tableview allows row reordering then the index set needs to be adjusted accordingly.
Here is my implementation. The "all" state is determined by the number of selected rows being equal to the number of rows in the data source array.
I have just used simple table view accessories for the checkmarks, but I am sure you can see how to adopt your image based approach in cellForRow(at:)
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var tableview: UITableView!
let names: [String]? = ["Luke Skywalker","Leia Organa","Advik Shah","Aarav Modi"]
var selectedRows = NSMutableIndexSet()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 2
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
guard let names = self.names else {
return 0
}
return 0 == section ? 1 : names.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "tableCell", for: indexPath)
var text: String
var accessory = UITableViewCellAccessoryType.none
if 0 == indexPath.section {
text = "All"
if self.selectedRows.count == self.names!.count {
accessory = .checkmark
}
} else {
text = names![indexPath.row]
if selectedRows.contains(indexPath.row) {
accessory = .checkmark
}
}
cell.textLabel!.text = text
cell.accessoryType = accessory
return cell
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, willSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> IndexPath? {
if indexPath.section == 0 {
if self.selectedRows.count == self.names!.count {
self.selectedRows = NSMutableIndexSet()
} else {
self.selectedRows = NSMutableIndexSet(indexesIn: NSRange(location: 0, length: self.names!.count))
}
tableView.reloadData()
} else {
self.selectedRows.contains(indexPath.row) ? self.selectedRows.remove(indexPath.row) : self.selectedRows.add(indexPath.row)
let rows = [IndexPath(row: 0, section: 0), indexPath]
tableView.reloadRows(at: rows, with: .none)
}
return nil
}
}

I think you are using only one section in the table view. I suggest you use two sections in the table view, so that first section will contain only one row (Select All) and the second section will contain other options. When you click on Select All, that is in the first row of the first section you can make all the rows in the second section as selected while reloading the table view.
// MARK: - struct for cell item
struct CellItem {
var name : String
var isSelected:Bool! = false
init(name: String) {
self.name = name
}
}
class ViewController: UITableViewController {
#IBOutlet var viewTable: UITableView!
// Declare a boolean varaible to toggle the checkbox in the first section of table view
var isSelectAllSelected : Bool = false
var cellData: [CellItem] = []
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
cellData = [CellItem(name: "Luke Skywalker"),CellItem(name: "Leia Organa"),CellItem(name: "Advik Shah"),CellItem(name: "Aarav Modi")]
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
}
// MARK: - Table view data source
override func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 2
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
if section == 0 {
return 1
}
else
{
return cellData.count
}
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat {
return 0
}
// MARK: - Table view delegates
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
return 60
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell{
let cell = TableCell()
cell.selectionStyle = .none
if indexPath.section == 0 {
cell.textLabel?.text = "Select All"
if isSelectAllSelected{
cell.accessoryType = .checkmark
}
else{
cell.accessoryType = .none
}
}
else
{
cell.textLabel?.text = cellData[indexPath.row].name
if cellData[indexPath.row].isSelected{
cell.accessoryType = .checkmark
}
else{
cell.accessoryType = .none
}
}
return cell
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
if indexPath.section == 0
{
cellData[indexPath.row].isSelected = !cellData[indexPath.row].isSelected
isSelectAllSelected = cellData[indexPath.row].isSelected
for index in cellData.indices
{
cellData[index].isSelected = cellData[indexPath.row].isSelected
}
}
else
{
cellData[indexPath.row].isSelected = !cellData[indexPath.row].isSelected
if cellData.filter({ $0.isSelected }).count == cellData.count
{
isSelectAllSelected = true
}
else
{
isSelectAllSelected = false
}
}
viewTable.reloadData()
} }

Hello u can take cheboxbutton action method inside view controller with addtarget method and assign tag indexpath.row so u can easily get the indexpath. from below code u can get the idea.
class ViewController:UIViewController,UITableViewDelegate,UITableViewDataSource {
#IBOutlet weak var ObjTableview: UITableView!
var arrStudent = ["1","2","3","4","5"]
var arrSelectedStudent :[Int] = []
var selectAll:Bool = false
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
//MARK: UITableViewDataSource
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return arrStudent.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
// create a new cell if needed or reuse an old one
let cell = ObjTableview.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "Cell", for: indexPath) as! SelectUserCell
// set the text from the data model
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyle.none
// cell.lblStudentName.text = getStudentName[indexPath.row]
cell.lblStudentName.text = arrStudent[indexPath.row]
cell.btnCheckbox.tag = indexPath.row
cell.btnCheckbox.addTarget(self, action:#selector(btnCheckBoxClick(sender:)), for: .touchUpInside)
if selectAll {
cell.btnCheckbox.setImage(UIImage(named: "selectedItem"), for: .normal)
}else{
if arrSelectedStudent.contains(indexPath.row){
cell.btnCheckbox.setImage(UIImage(named: "selectedItem"), for: .normal)
}else{
cell.btnCheckbox.setImage(UIImage(named: "unSelectedItem"), for: .normal)
}
}
return cell
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
}
func btnCheckBoxClick(sender: UIButton) {
if sender.tag == 0{
selectAll = true
}else
{
selectAll = false
if let index = arrSelectedStudent.index(of: sender.tag) {
arrSelectedStudent.remove(at: index)
}else{
arrSelectedStudent.append(sender.tag)
}
}
ObjTableview.reloadData()
}}
