How to manage multiple cell selection of UITableView using single NSArray? - ios

Question

Here is my code which handles multiple selection of UITableview Cell properly.
Now, my question is here I had create two array in which one stores array data and second stores selected data. But, I want to do this using only one array. someone had given me solution that it can be done using KVC (valueForKeyPath) by giving key. But I have no exact idea how to do it.
If anyone knows please help me.
#import "NewTableViewController.h"
#implementation NewTableViewController
#synthesize attTableData ;
#synthesize arrSelectionData ;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.attTableData=[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"Dhosa",#"Kahman",#"Dhokla",#"Handvo",#"chodafadi",#"Muthiya",#"Medu Vada",#"Patra",#"Thepla",#"Fafda",#"Gota",#"gathiya",#"Idali",#"Dalvada",#"Samosa",nil];
self.arrSelectionData=[NSMutableArray array];
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return [self.attTableData count];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] ;
}
if([self.arrSelectionData containsObject:indexPath])
{
[cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark];
}
else
{
[cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryNone];
}
cell.textLabel.text=[self.attTableData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
[tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
if([self.arrSelectionData containsObject:indexPath])
{
[self.arrSelectionData removeObject:indexPath];
}
else
{
[self.arrSelectionData addObject:indexPath];
}
[self.tableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:#[indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];
//[tableView reloadData];
}
#end
Solution ::
Data in "Recipe List" File
[0]{
Item = Thepla;
selected = 0;
},
[1]
{
Item = Gota;
selected = 0;
},
[2]
{
Item = Handvo;
selected = 0;
},
[3]
{
Item = Idali;
selected = 0;
},
[4]
{
Item = Dalvada;
selected = 0;
},
Now My TableViewController
#import "NewTableViewController.h"
#import "TableViewCell.h"
#implementation NewTableViewController
#synthesize attTableData ;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"Recipe List" ofType:#"plist"];
attTableData = [[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithContentsOfFile:path];
attTableData = (NSMutableArray *)CFBridgingRelease(CFPropertyListCreateDeepCopy(kCFAllocatorDefault, (CFArrayRef)attTableData, kCFPropertyListMutableContainers));
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return [self.attTableData count];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"UserCell";
TableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (!cell)
{
cell = [[TableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] ;
}
NSDictionary * dicTemp = [attTableData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
// NSNumber* attendingObject = [dicTemp objectForKey:#"selected"];
if([dicTemp objectForKey:#"selected"] == [NSNumber numberWithBool:NO])
{
[cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryNone];
}
else
{
[cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark];
}
cell.lbl.text=[[self.attTableData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]objectForKey:#"Item"];
return cell;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
[tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
NSMutableDictionary * dic = [attTableData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
//NSNumber* attendingObject = [dic objectForKey:#"selected"];
if ([dic objectForKey:#"selected"] == [NSNumber numberWithBool:NO])
{
[dic setValue:[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES] forKey:#"selected"];
}
else
{
[dic setValue:[NSNumber numberWithBool:NO] forKey:#"selected"];
}
[attTableData replaceObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row withObject:dic];
[self.tableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:#[indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];
}
#end

If you want to do it using a single array, instead of doing like this
self.attTableData=[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"Dhosa",#"Kahman",#"Dhokla",#"Handvo",#"chodafadi",#"Muthiya",#"Medu Vada",#"Patra",#"Thepla",#"Fafda",#"Gota",#"gathiya",#"Idali",#"Dalvada",#"Samosa",nil];
Create a model class for your items
//pseudo code
class Item{
name = "Dhosa"
selected = false
}
So attTableData will be
self.attTableData=[Item1, Item2];
Now when you make a selection you can set the selected property of the item. In cellForRow check this property and set setAccessoryType.
