How to remember rows selected and maintain them after reload by default in UITableView?

Question

How can I set a row selected by default? I want to select a row , take the number of selected row with indexpath.row and then reload the table and select the row what was selected. Can someone help me please? Can I get the selected row in a method -(IBAction) segmentedControlIndexChanged? Not in didSelectRowAtIndexPath?

This is my code if it can help you to understand

- (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] autorelease];     }     //lbl1 = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(200, 10, 100, 20) ];      // Configure the cell...     NSString *depdateChoosed=[deparatureDates objectAtIndex:depSelectedIndice];     NSString *comeateChoosed=[deparatureDates objectAtIndex:comSelectedIndice];     NSString *choosedDate =[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@",depdateChoosed, comeateChoosed];     NSLog(@"date choisi %@ ",choosedDate);      if(segment.selectedSegmentIndex==0)     {         cell.textLabel.text =[deparatureDates objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];             }     else if(segment.selectedSegmentIndex==1) {          //cell.textLabel.text =[goingBackDates objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];         //cell.textLabel.text=[goingBackDates objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];         cell.textLabel.text =[goingBackDates objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];     }     return cell; }   - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {     NSLog(@" champ séléctionner : %d ",indexPath.row);      if(segment.selectedSegmentIndex==0)     {         depSelectedIndice=indexPath.row;       }     else if(segment.selectedSegmentIndex==1) {         comSelectedIndice=indexPath.row;     }     //[tableView reloadData]; }  -(IBAction) segmentedControlIndexChanged {     int i;     switch (self.segment.selectedSegmentIndex)      {         case 0:             i=0;              [tableView reloadData];             break;         case 1:             i=1;             NSLog(@"dexieme segment selectionner");             [tableView reloadData];         default:             break;     } } 

Answer 1

NSIndexPath *indexPath = [tableView indexPathForSelectedRow]; 

will give you the NSIndexPath for the current selected row. You can then do

[tableView selectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath                         animated:NO                   scrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionMiddle]; 

to select that row (and show it in the middle of the screen) later.

I had the same question, and this is how I did it:

In your tableViewController, add this in this function

(UITableViewCell *)tableView: (UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath  {         if(indexPath.row == 'the row you want to select')     {         [tableView              selectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath              animated:TRUE              scrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionNone         ];          [[tableView delegate]              tableView:tableView              didSelectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath         ];      }  }
