UITableView removing checkmark from cell on search - objective-c

I am using a UITableView to display some items and i have implemented a UISearchBar to this UITableView.
If the user presses the cell, a checkmark appears (accessory type of the cell is changed) and when pressed again the checkmark accessory disappears.
My problem is when the user searches using the search bar, all the checked cells are not checked anymore, no more checked cells at all.
I've been trying to fix this and searching for it for a while but no results ...
Any help ??
Thanks you.

That is because your table view where you put the checkmarks and the table view that you see after you enter something in the search bar is not same. To have the same check marks on the search table view cells, you need to explicitly add the checkmarks.
I can't see the way you are adding and removing check marks. So, in theory, what you need is a way to know which cells have check marks. So, let's assume you have an array of items and a parallel array which holds the 1 or 0 to signal if the items have the check marks when 1 means check marked and 0 means no check mark.
Let's call this parallel array, checkMarkSignalArray. Now, in your cellForRowAtIndexPath method, you can do something like-
if(self.resultSearchController.active){
cell.textLabel.text = [self.filteredItemsArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
if([self.checkMarkSignalArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]){
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
}
}

how to remove accessory from cellForRowAtIndexPath

i have the indexPath number... i need to remove the cell accessory from that cell based on the number in the variable i have?
NSInteger *removeAccessoryFrom = 3;
[studentTableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:removeAccessoryFrom].accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
It doesn't work like that. You need to reload the table data (either for the whole table or for just this row) and, inside cellForRowAtIndexPath, set the accessoryType to UITableViewCellAccessoryNone conditionally. In other words, you keep a list, or have some other way of knowing, at every moment, and for the entire table, exactly what cells get exactly what accessory. That way, any time cellForRowAtIndexPath is called, you can configure this cell for this index path correctly.

how to identify which cell in tableview clicked

I created tableview that read from url (any cell has name of book) and when clicked any cell gone detailView.
in detail view exist UIScroll that read any image from url and I create it.
but my problem this place. I don't know what read images in UIScroll related any cell.
this is URL : ".../mamal/book.php?p=%d&b=%d"
(p and b display number page and number book)
I want when clicked first cell (book1) compiler gone next page and display images related book1
and etc.
You have to use UITableView protocols <UITableViewDataSource,UITableViewDelegate> in your .h file then use below delegate method which you give which cell is clicked
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSLog(#"Clicked cell-> %d", indexPath.row);
}
You can also identify the currently selected row using the property indexPathForSelectedRow.
i.e if you want to know the index path of currently selected row at any point of time without using the delegate methods (not saving it during selection) you can use
tableView.indexPathForSelectedRow
If you want to pass around the value between multiple view controller you can declare an instance variable in the view controller you want the value to be passed and store tableView.indexPathForSelectedRow in this variable during initialization. A quick search on so should help you with that.

How to detect how many cells are visible in a UITableView

My table view covers part of the view. If I have 20 objects, I am displaying all of them in a tableview. But I want to know that how many cell are loaded that are visible to the user.
(i.e. first 5 cells data is visible for me: when I scroll down, the remaining cells will load. Here I want to know without scrolling how many cell are loaded.)
Is this possible?
You can use [tableView visibleCells] count], which returns numbers of the table cells that are visible, if I understand correctly what you want.
The below code will give you the array of indexpath of cells currently visible
NSArray *visiblePaths = [self.tableView indexPathsForVisibleRows];
after getting the index path you can easily access the cell at a particular indexpath
Its usually : (tableView's height / cell row height ) + 1
Can you take the size of the visible part of the table, and then the size of one cell, and divide them to know how many of them fit in the screen?

Get state of UISwitch in custom UITableViewCell's

I am using a custom tableviewcell in one of my view's. I have decided to add a UISwitch to this cell to enable the user to delete multiple row's at once.
Normally when the user selects a row and taps my delete button I have a UIAlert pop up for confirmation and after that the alert clickedButtonAtIndex method handles the outcome. In that method I get the indexpath ( [self.myTableView indexPathForSelectedRow] ) and delete (or not) accordingly.
So basically as the title states instead of using the indexPath to fall into my delete statement, I need to check to see if self.myTableView.myCell.mySwitch.on is TRUE. Can anyone point me in the right direction for doing this? I will need to iterate through all rows in the tableview and for each row where the state is on it needs to be removed.
Thanks.
you should iterate through your cells using a nested loop ( or a single loop if you have only one section) and cellForRowAtIndexPath:.if you see a cell's switch.on = TRUE save it's indexPath in an array by calling indexPathForCell:. after you're done iterating through your cells, call deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:withRowAnimation: with the array previously created.

Can I programmatically modify which UITableViewCell is selected?

Is there a way to move the highlighted tableviewcell programatically. If I wanted to highlight cell number 3 and then highlight cell number 4 instead, based on something the user did in the detail view of my split view controller, can I do this?
Is there a way I can get the indexpath for the row two below one that I have?
Thanks!
You can do this via the UITableView selectRowAtIndexPath:animated:scrollPosition: method.
In terms of getting the "next" row from the indexPath, you can simply use the indexPath.row property (as supplied from your UITableViewDelegate's tableView:didDeselectRowAtIndexPath: method) as the basis for the selected row.
