UITableView checkmarks duplicated - ios

I keep getting checkmarks being marked in other sections of my table view when I click a row. Im not certain if I need to set my accessoryType. I tried mytableView.reloadData() however that didn't help either.
var selected = [String]()
var userList = [Users]()
#IBOutlet weak var myTableView: UITableView!
#IBAction func createGroup(_ sender: Any) {
for username in self.selected{
ref?.child("Group").childByAutoId().setValue(username)
print(username)
}
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let myCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath) as! MyTableViewCell
myCell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyle.none
myCell.nameLabel.text = userList[indexPath.row].name
return myCell
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
if myTableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath)?.accessoryType == UITableViewCellAccessoryType.checkmark{
myTableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath)?.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryType.none
let currentUser = userList[indexPath.row]
selected = selected.filter { $0 != currentUser.name}
}
else{
myTableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath)?.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryType.checkmark
let currentUser = userList[indexPath.row]
selected.append(currentUser.name!)
}
}

Your problem is not inside this method but in the one that "loads" the cells. (cell for row)
Since Table Views use reusable cells, more often than not they will be loading a cell that was already presented somewhere else.
Because of this, on the cell loading method you should "Reset the state" the loaded cell, this includes the accessory type, and any other properties you might have changed.
So just change this in your code:
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let myCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath) as! MyTableViewCell
myCell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyle.none
myCell.nameLabel.text = userList[indexPath.row].name
// ADD THIS
if userList[indexPath.row].isSelected {
myCell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryType.checkmark
} else {
myCell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryType.none
}
return myCell
}
EDIT:
"userList[indexPath.row].isSelected" is a property that YOU have to create and manage. (So you must also modify it in the didSelectRowAt method.

The issue is you are not maintaining the selected User info properly, which will be used while you scroll the table and when the cell has to reload data.
As you have already created var selected = [String]() , I suggest using the same.
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let myCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath) as! MyTableViewCell
let dataFoundInselectedArr = selected.filter { $0 == userList[indexPath.row].name}
if(dataFoundInselectedArr.count > 0){
myCell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellSelectionStyle.checkmark
}else{
myCell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellSelectionStyle.none
}
myCell.nameLabel.text = userList[indexPath.row].name
return myCell
}
The table selection delegate method remains the same.

How do I proceed on adding multiple prototype cell's

I'm trying to add two prototype cell on my UITableView. However, I don't know how I could verify to be able to "return" the correct cells for each prototype. Can you guys give me a hand?
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
if ??? {
let cell = itensTableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cellId", for: indexPath) as! tableviewCell
cell.nameCell.text = "Oculos"
return cell
}else{
let cellAdicionar = itensTableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cellIdAdc", for: indexPath) as! tableviewBotaoAdicionar
cellAdicionar.botaoAdicionar.text = "Adicionar"
return cellAdicionar
}
}
Storyboard Picture
You need to set your model to answer that inside cellForRowAt
var arr = ["first","second","first"]
//
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let item = arr[indexPath.row]
if item == "first" {
let cell = itensTableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cellId", for: indexPath) as! tableviewCell
cell.nameCell.text = "Oculos"
return cell
} else {
let cellAdicionar = itensTableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cellIdAdc", for: indexPath) as! tableviewBotaoAdicionar
cellAdicionar.botaoAdicionar.text = "Adicionar"
return cellAdicionar
}
}

UITableViewCell has incorrect change on indexPath

I try to use UITableViewCell's accessoryType property to checkmark cell when clicked ,but when cell selected , the checkmark set several time for different cells for example when I select row [0] , row [0] and row [8] and row [17] AccessoryType set to checkmark !
public func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "npCell", for: indexPath) as! NewPlaylistTableViewCell
cell.mTitle.text = musics[indexPath.row]["title"] as! String?
cell.mArtist.text = musics[indexPath.row]["artist"] as! String?
cell.selectionStyle = .none
return cell
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath)
cell?.accessoryType = .checkmark
tableView.reloadData()
}
For single selection, you need to track your selected indexPath in a viewController variable,
var selectedIndexPath : IndexPath?
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
self.selectedIndexPath = indexPath
tableView.reloadData()
}
public func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "npCell", for: indexPath) as! NewPlaylistTableViewCell
cell.mTitle.text = musics[indexPath.row]["title"] as! String?
cell.mArtist.text = musics[indexPath.row]["artist"] as! String?
cell.accessoryType = .none
cell.selectionStyle = .none
if(indexPath == selectedIndexPath) {
cell.accessoryType = .checkmark
}
return cell
}
Even better (avoiding reload the entire UITableView)
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
let previousSelectedIndexPath = self.selectedIndexPath
self.selectedIndexPath = indexPath
if(previousSelectedIndexPath != nil) {
self.tableView.reloadRows(at: [previousSelectedIndexPath!,self.selectedIndexPath!], with: .automatic)
}else{
self.tableView.reloadRows(at: [self.selectedIndexPath!], with: .automatic)
}
self.tableView.reloadData()
}
UPDATE, Allowing multiple selection
For multiple selection you should track selected cells in a Dictionary for convenience faster access to selected and unselected indexPaths allowing you use multiple sections because the key value of our Dictionary is a string formed by (IndexPath.section)+(IndexPath.row) which is always unique combination
var selectedIndexPaths : [String:Bool] = [:]
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
let currentIndexPathStr = "\(indexPath.section)\(indexPath.row)"
if(self.selectedIndexPaths[currentIndexPathStr] == nil || !self.selectedIndexPaths[currentIndexPathStr]!) {
self.selectedIndexPaths[currentIndexPathStr] = true
}else{
self.selectedIndexPaths[currentIndexPathStr] = false
}
self.tableView.reloadRows(at: [indexPath], with: .automatic)
}
public func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "npCell", for: indexPath) as! NewPlaylistTableViewCell
cell.mTitle.text = musics[indexPath.row]["title"] as! String?
cell.mArtist.text = musics[indexPath.row]["artist"] as! String?
cell.accessoryType = .checkmark
let currentIndexPathStr = "\(indexPath.section)\(indexPath.row)"
if(self.selectedIndexPaths[currentIndexPathStr] == nil || !self.selectedIndexPaths[currentIndexPathStr]!) {
cell.accessoryType = .none
}
return cell
}

Load Checkmarks in Tableview for previously selected rows(approved users)

Right now I can add checkmarks to the table of choice selected using your approach vadian. I also added the Boolean("selected") in my data class. What I dont get is how to save the boolean selected for each row with UserDefaults or than how to load this in cell for row at table. Do I need to even touch didload section?
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
guard let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "Cell") as? TableCell else {
return UITableViewCell()
}
let product = products[indexPath.row]
cell.accessoryType = product.selected ? .checkmark : .none
return cell }
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
guard let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "Cell") as? TableCell else {
return UITableViewCell()
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath)
{
var selected = products[indexPath.row].selected
products[indexPath.row].selected = !selected
tableView.reloadRows(at: [indexPath], with: .none)
if selected != true {print("selected", indexPath.row, selected )}
else {print("selected", indexPath.row, selected )}
selected = UserDefaults.standard.bool(forKey: "sound")
}
Add a property var approved : Bool to your data model
Update the property in the model when the selection changes and reload the row.
In cellForRow set the checkmark depending on the property
...
let cell = tableview.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "myfeedTVC", for: indexPath) as! MyFeedTVC
let user = userDataArray[indexPath.row]
cell.accessoryType = user.approved ? .checkmark : .none

UITableviewCell toggling only one custom checkmark state not working - Swift 3

I have reviewed this link and the solutions were not working for me.
I am trying to select one row and when I do select it, it adds a checkmark to the label. If another row is selected while there is an existing checkmark, it will uncheck the previous one which is stored in a selectedIndexPath variable.
It works in the beginning, however when scrolling through the tableview several times, I occasionally see a cell selected that should not be as indicated in this image:
What I am doing when a user selects a cell:
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
if let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath) as? CustomCell {
let customCell = customCellData[indexPath.row]
customCell.toggleSelected()
cell.configureCheckmark(with: customCell)
}
if let oldIndexPath = selectedIndexPath, let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: oldIndexPath) as? CustomCell, oldIndexPath.row != indexPath.row {
let customCell = customCellData[oldIndexPath.row]
customCell.toggleSelected()
cell.configureCheckmark(with: customCell)
}
if let selected = selectedIndexPath, selected.row == indexPath.row {
selectedIndexPath = nil
tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true)
} else {
selectedIndexPath = indexPath
}
}
and in for cellForRowAt: (is it redundant to check the selectedIndexPath and the state in the model?)
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "CustomCell", for: indexPath) as! CustomCell
let customCell = customCellData[indexPath.row]
cell.customCell = customCell
if selectedIndexPath == indexPath {
cell.checkLabel.text = "✔️"
} else {
cell.checkLabel.text = ""
}
return cell
}
and finally in the CustomCell:
var customCell: CustomCell? {
didSet {
if let customCell = customCell {
configureCheckmark(with: customCell)
}
}
}
func configureCheckmark(with customCell: CustomCellData) {
if customCell.isSelected {
checkLabel.text = "✔️"
} else {
checkLabel.text = ""
}
}
In CustomCellData I toggle the state as follows:
class CustomCellData {
var isSelected = false
func toggleSelected() {
isSelected = !isSelected
}
}
I am scratching my head on this and unsure what to do, any help would be great.
The easiest solution is to reduce didSelectRowAt to
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath)
{
selectedIndexPath = indexPath
tableView.reloadData()
}
This updates all visible cells properly.
Or more sophisticated version which updates only the affected rows and checks if the cell is already selected
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath)
{
if selectedIndexPath != indexPath {
let indexPathsToReload = selectedIndexPath == nil ? [indexPath] : [selectedIndexPath!, indexPath]
selectedIndexPath = indexPath
tableView.reloadRows(at: indexPathsToReload, with: .none)
} else {
selectedIndexPath = nil
tableView.reloadRows(at: [indexPath], with: .none)
}
}
The code in cellForRowAt does the rest.

Swift 3: Why cant I change cell.accessoryType and cell.textLabel in didDeselectRowAt

I can not understand why I can not toggle a selected table row.
I am successfully setting the accessoryType in didSelectRowAt.
But I can not seem to set the accessoryType to none in didDeselectRowAt.
my data:
serviceItems = ["Heater", "Air Conditioner", "Boiler", "Heat Pump"]
here are my tableview overrides:
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "Cell", for: indexPath)
cell.accessoryType = .checkmark
let serviceItem = serviceItems[indexPath.row] as! String
cell.textLabel?.text = serviceItem
}
// does not remove checkmark
// does not change textLabel to "test"
// DOES print "DESELECTING" (so I know its getting called)
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didDeselectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "Cell", for: indexPath)
cell.accessoryType = .none
cell.textLabel?.text = "test"
print("DESELECTING")
}
Should have been using tableView.cellForRow instead of tableView.dequeueReusableCell
Changed:
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "Cell", for: indexPath)
To:
let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath)
I put everything in the DidSelectRow see here :
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: IndexPath)
{
if let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath) {
if self.selectedIndexPaths.contains(indexPath)
{
// Config Cell
cell.accessoryType = .none
self.selectedIndexPaths.remove(indexPath)
}
else
{
// Config Cell
cell.accessoryType = .checkmark
self.selectedIndexPaths.add(indexPath)
}
// anything else you wanna do every time a cell is tapped
}
}
