Question

Here is my problem, i have a custom cell in that 1 label and 4 buttons like question and answers,when the user click on the button 1 remaining 3 button go like this,
When the user scroll the cell it is not saving the what the user selected button i mean to say user click on the what ever the button it is not saving.
Here is my code,
ViewDidLoad()
{
testArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
for (int i =0; i<[mainArray count]; i++)
{
[testArray addObject:#"Unchecked"];
}
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *cellId = #"Cell";
ContestQATableViewCell *cell =(ContestQATableViewCell *)[tableViewQA dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellId];
if (cell==nil)
{
NSArray *myNib;
myNib =[[NSBundle mainBundle]loadNibNamed:#"ContestQATableViewCell" owner:self options:nil];
cell = (ContestQATableViewCell *)[myNib lastObject];
}
cell.textLabel.text = [mainArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
if([[testArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] isEqualToString:#"Unchecked"])
[cell.answer1 setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"RadioUnChecked"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
else
[cell.answer1 setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"RadioChecked"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
cell.answer1.tag = indexPath.row;
[cell.answer1 addTarget:self action:#selector(buttonClicked:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[cell.contentView addSubview:cell.answer1];
return cell;
[cell.answer1 addTarget:self action:#selector(buttonsClicked:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[cell.answer2 addTarget:self action:#selector(buttonsClicked:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[cell.answer3 addTarget:self action:#selector(buttonsClicked:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[cell.answer4 addTarget:self action:#selector(buttonsClicked:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
return cell;
}
and here is my add target method
-(void)buttonsClicked:(id)sender
{
UIButton *btn=(UIButton *)sender;
ContestQATableViewCell * cell=(ContestQATableViewCell *) [btn.superview superview];
if (cell.answer1.tag==btn.tag)
{
[cell.answer1 setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"RadioChecked"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}else{
[cell.answer1 setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"RadioUnChecked"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}
if (cell.answer2.tag==btn.tag)
{
[cell.answer2 setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"RadioChecked"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}else{
[cell.answer2 setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"RadioUnChecked"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}
if (cell.answer3.tag==btn.tag)
{
[cell.answer3 setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"RadioChecked"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}else{
[cell.answer3 setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"RadioUnChecked"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}
if (cell.answer4.tag==btn.tag)
{
[cell.answer4 setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"RadioChecked"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}else{
[cell.answer4 setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"RadioUnChecked"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}
}

Answer 1

For Check-Uncheck functionality only buttonClicked: method is not enough. You will have also put the condition in cellForRowAtIndexPath: method for which button is selected or which in unselected because cellForRowAtIndexPath: method will call each time when you will scroll your UITableView and cells will be refresh.
for example
I explain in step by step
Step-1
Create the two arrays one for gloabally another one for checking purpose
#interface ViewController : UIViewController<UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource>
{
NSMutableArray *arrayforCheckUnchek; // handle which button is selected or which is unselected
NSMutableArray *originalArray; // original Array
}
Step-2
allocating the memory for arrays
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
arrayforCheckUnchek = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
originalArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithObjects:#"cell1",#"cell2",#"cell3",#"cell4",#"cell5", nil];
// setting all cell initilayy at un check
for(int i=0; i<[originalArray count]; i++)
{
[arrayforCheckUnchek addObject:#"Unchecked"];
}
}
Step-2
setup your datasource Methods
-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section{
return [originalArray count];
}
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *Identifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:Identifier];
if(cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
cell.textLabel.text = [originalArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
UIButton *radiobutton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[radiobutton setFrame:CGRectMake(270.0, 7.0, 30.0, 30.0)]; // customize the frames
if([[arrayforCheckUnchek objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] isEqualToString:#"Unchecked"])
[radiobutton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"RadioUnChecked"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
else
[radiobutton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"RadioChecked"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
radiobutton.tag = indexPath.row;
[radiobutton addTarget:self action:#selector(buttonClicked:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[cell.contentView addSubview:radiobutton];
return cell;
}
Step-3
here selected button index you can change the image
-(void)buttonClicked:(UIButton *)sender
{
//Getting the indexPath of cell of clicked button
CGPoint touchPoint = [sender convertPoint:CGPointZero toView:yourtableviewname];
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [yourtableviewname indexPathForRowAtPoint:touchPoint];
//Checking the condition button is checked or unchecked.
if([[arrayforCheckUnchek objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] isEqualToString:#"Unchecked"])
{
[sender setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"RadioChecked"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[arrayforCheckUnchek replaceObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row withObject:#"Checked"];
}
else
{
[sender setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"RadioUnChecked"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[arrayforCheckUnchek replaceObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row withObject:#"Unchecked"];
}
}
