Xcode MultipleCellSelection Selection names - ios

Question

I have a tableview. I want to create string from selected cell names. For example My Cell names : Row No 1 - Row No 2 - Row No 3 - Row No 4 - Row No 5. When selected Row No 1 - Row No 2 - Row No 5 mystring value = Selected Items Row No 1 , Row No 2 , Row No 5. When i deselect Row No 1 mystring value = Selected items Row No 2 , Row No 5 or Row No 5 , Row No 2. It does not matter.
Is it possible? If possible how can i do? Thanks.
//EDIT
My code is here ;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
tableData = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[tableData retain];
for (int i=1; i<=10; i++)
{
NSString *rowInString= [[NSString alloc ]initWithFormat:#"Row No %d",i];
[tableData addObject:rowInString];
rowInString=nil;
}
_mytable.allowsMultipleSelectionDuringEditing = YES;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
NSLog(#"self.Data count: %lu", (unsigned long)[tableData count]);
return tableData.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];
}
NSString *cellValue;
cellValue=[tableData objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];
[_mytable setEditing: YES];
cell.textLabel.text=cellValue;
return cell;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSString *selectedText = #"Selected Items";
NSArray *selectedRows = [_mytable indexPathsForSelectedRows];
NSLog(#"%lu" , (unsigned long)selectedRows.count);
}
- (void)dealloc {
[_mytable release];
[super dealloc];
}
#end

Answer 1

First add in your tableview.
self.myTableView.allowsMultipleSelection = YES;
then
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
//you need an array in which you can add and remove strings
//adding the selected row string to array.
[stringArray addObject:[tableData objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];
NSString *string;
for(NSString *str in stringArray)
{
string = [NSString stringWithFormat:"%#%#",string,str];
}
NSLog(#"Selected Row %#"string);
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didDeSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
//removing the selected string from array
for(NSString *stringInArray in stringArray)
{
if([stringInArray isEqualToString:[tableData objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]])
{
[stringArray removeObject:stringInArray];
}
}
NSString *string;
for(NSString *str in stringArray)
{
string = [NSString stringWithFormat:"%#%#",string,str];
}
NSLog(#"Selected Row %#"string);
}

Here is how you can do it:
Create a NSString *selectedText=#"Selected Items";
Now when you press a item in tableview, didselectitematibdexpath will be called.
Using the indexpath get the cell's name. Now compare if that text exist in the selectedText string. If it exist remove it from string
NSRange check = [selectedText rangeOfString:#" one"];
if (check.location != NSNotFound) {
selectedText = [selectedText stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:check withString:#""];
}
else add it to string using
selectedText=[selectedText stringWithFormat:#" %#",cellName];
Here is your code(i have changed as per your requirement):
NSString *selectedText = #"Selected Items";
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
tableData = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[tableData retain];
for (int i=1; i<=10; i++)
{
NSString *rowInString= [[NSString alloc ]initWithFormat:#"Row No %d",i];
[tableData addObject:rowInString];
rowInString=nil;
}
_mytable.allowsMultipleSelectionDuringEditing = YES;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
NSLog(#"self.Data count: %lu", (unsigned long)[tableData count]);
return tableData.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];
}
NSString *cellValue;
cellValue=[tableData objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];
[_mytable setEditing: YES];
cell.textLabel.text=cellValue;
return cell;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSRange check = [selectedText rangeOfString:[tableData objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]]];
if (check.location != NSNotFound) {
selectedText = [selectedText stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:check withString:#""];
} else {
selectedText = [NSString stringwithFormat:#"%# %#",selectedText, [tableData objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]]];
}
NSArray *selectedRows = [_mytable indexPathsForSelectedRows];
NSLog(#"%lu" , (unsigned long)selectedRows.count);
}
- (void)dealloc {
[_mytable release];
[super dealloc];
}
#end
