Recently started developing apps, so excuse my ignorance. I have a tableView, and when a cell in the table view is clicked, I want to insert a new row directly below it. This currently works in my code. However, I also want the row that has been inserted to be removed once the cell has been clicked again. This is giving me the NSRangeException saying I am out of bounds in my array.
I figured this probably has to do with my tableView delegate/data methods, so I set up break points at each of them. With the break points enabled, the cell is removed perfectly. However, when I disable the breakpoints, and let the application run on its own, it crashes. How could break points possibly be affecting this?
Here is the relevant code:
- (NSInteger) numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)songTableView{
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)songTableView
numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section{
bool debug = false;
if (debug) NSLog(#"--TableView: rankings");
if (expandedRow == -1)
return [self.songs count];
else //one row is expanded, so there is +1
return ([self.songs count]+1);
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)songTableView
cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
bool debug = false;
if (debug) NSLog(#"--tableView: tableView");
NSUInteger row = [indexPath row];
if (row == expandedRow){ //the expanded row, return the custom cell
UITableViewCell *temp = [[UITableViewCell alloc]
initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:#"test"];
return temp;
}
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableViewCells objectAtIndex:row];
return cell;
}
}
- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)songTableView
titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section{
//todo: call refresh title
return #"The Fresh List";
}
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)songTableView
heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
return 44.0; //same as SongCell.xib
}
- (void)tableView: (UITableView *)songTableView
didSelectRowAtIndexPath: (NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
bool debug = true;
//todo: if the user selects expanded cell, doesn't do anything
SongCell *cell = (SongCell *)[songTableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
if (cell->expanded == NO){
//change cell image
cell.bgImage.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"tablecellbg_click.png"];
cell->expanded = YES;
//add new cell below
NSInteger atRow = [indexPath row] + 1;
NSIndexPath *insertAt = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:atRow inSection:0];
NSArray *rowArray = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:insertAt, nil];
if (debug) NSLog(#"Expanded row: %d", atRow);
expandedRow = atRow;
[tableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:rowArray withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationTop];
}else { //cell is already open, so close it
//change cell image
cell.bgImage.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"tablecellbg.png"];
cell->expanded = NO;
NSIndexPath *removeAt = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:expandedRow inSection:0];
NSArray *rowArray = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:removeAt, nil];
if(debug) NSLog(#"--about to delete row: %d", expandedRow);
expandedRow = -1;
[tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:rowArray withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationTop];
//remove expaned cell below
}
}
This is just a guess, but it's a good idea to wrap code that changes the table structure in calls to
[tableView beginUpdates];
[tableView endUpdates];
I bet this returns null: [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:expandedRow inSection:0]; and if it does it blows ...

I hate to answer my own questions but I figured it out.
I was loading up my tableView from an array of objects. When I added the cell, that array still only held 30 objects, whereas my table held 31. I was correctly returning the numberOfRowsInSection method.
Here is the modification I made. Notice the extra else if:
NSUInteger row = [indexPath row];
if (row == expandedRow){ //the expanded row, return the custom cell
if(debug) NSLog(#"row == expandedRow");
UITableViewCell *temp = [[UITableViewCell alloc]
initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:#"test"];
return temp;
}
else if (expandedRow != -1 && row > expandedRow)
row--;
My array of objects and the UITableViewCells were suppose to match up 1-1. After the expanded row, indexPath's row because off by 1. Here is my quick fix to this problem, although I'm sure there is a better way to solve this.

I am trying to implement the expand/collapse table view cell. It's working good for many rows; they can be expanded and collapsed after clicked.
But what happen is when my table view has only one row; when I click it and then all the rest of the rows are expended too even though they are empty.
Here my code:
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if(selectedIndex == indexPath.row){
return 100;
}else{
return 44;
}
}
// Display in cell
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSString *cellIdentifier = #"CommentTableCell";
//-- try to get a reusable cell --
CommentTableCell *cell = (CommentTableCell *) [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
//-- create new cell if no reusable cell is available --
if (cell == nil)
{
NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:cellIdentifier owner:self options:nil];
cell = [nib objectAtIndex:0];
}
VocabularyController *vc;
// Display word from database else display vocabulary when searching
if (tableView != self.strongSearchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView) {
vc = [self.myArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
}else{
vc = [self.filteredArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
}
cell.nameLabel.text = vc.korean;
return cell;
}
// Selected Cell
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
if(selectedIndex == indexPath.row){
selectedIndex = -1;
NSIndexPath* rowToReload = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:indexPath.row inSection:0];
NSArray* rowsToReload = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:rowToReload, nil];
[tableView beginUpdates];
[tableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:rowsToReload withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
[tableView endUpdates];
return;
}
if(selectedIndex >= 0){
NSIndexPath *previousPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:selectedIndex inSection:selectedSection];
selectedIndex = indexPath.row;
[tableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObject:previousPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
}
// Finally set the selected index to the new selection and reload it to expand
selectedIndex = indexPath.row;
[tableView beginUpdates];
[tableView endUpdates];
}
// I would like show my screen shot.
How to expand only selected row when there is only one result after search? How to keep the other empty stay the same !
Thank for reading.
I don't think you can change that behavior for a one row table -- the table shows the cell dividers based on the height of that one row. If you don't want this look, then I think you have to set the separatorStyle to UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone. You could make a custom cell that has a line at the bottom to mimic a cell separator if want to see a line only at the bottom of filled cells.
Thanks for the help.
I have a custom cell that I expand using the following code. However, the first cell (index 0) always expands upon launch of the ViewControllers?
What am I missing? How do you have them all unExpanded upon launch and expand only upon selection.
Many Thanks.

That is because default value of selectedRow is zero. You need to initialize it as,
selectedRow = NSIntegerMax; //or selectedRow = -1;
or some other default value. You can add this in viewDidLoad method or so. Whenever you declare an int type variable, it is default value is zero. So if you have a scenario where zero needs to be checked for example in the above case, you should default it to a value which wont be used at all. Either a negative value or NSIntegerMax can be used for this.
I'm guessing that selectedRow is an integer instance variable. That integer begins life with a value of 0. As the first table cell is row 0, it matches selectedRow even though you have not intentionally set it.
One way to solve this would be to store selectedRow as an NSIndexPath instead of an integer.
Then you could just do this:
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
if([selectedRow isEqual:indexPath]) {
return 175;
}
return 44;
}
And because selectedRow will default to nil, you won't get a false match. It is also more flexible if you decide to use sections later on.
that's my first question here.
My UITableView doesn't show all cells that are created. What's the problem?
After App is launched it downloads data from server and shows it using UITableView. When i'm scrolling UITableView my app downloads more data (like Twitter app). And everything shows just fine.
But I also have a UISearchBar. And there's a problem. When SearchBar is active everything works just the same way (e.g. it downloads first part of data when I'm typing and downloads another when i'm scrolling), but UITableView shows only first part of data.
But NSLog in cellForRowAtIndexPath tells me, that ALL cell are created just fine. And I don't know what to do with it.
Sorry for my English, it's not so good.
Also, numberOfRowsInSection return the right value (e.g. 3), while there are only 1 cell in UITableView is shown. And, of course, my arrays contain all data i need to show.
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return 1;
}

{
if(searching == 0){ //if we aren't in search
NSLog(#"Total rows %d", ids.count);
return [ids count];
}
if(searching == 1){ //if we are in search
NSLog(#"Total rows %d", idsSearch.count);
return [idsSearch count];
}
}

{

if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone) {
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
}
}
NSInteger row = [indexPath row];
if(searching == 0){
cell.textLabel.text = [names objectAtIndex:row];
NSLog(#"Cell with %# created", [names objectAtIndex:row]);
}
if(searching == 1){
cell.textLabel.text = [namesSearch objectAtIndex:row];
NSLog(#"Cell with %# created", [namesSearch objectAtIndex:row]); //tells me that ALL cells were created. But they aren't in UITableView.
}
return cell;
}
- (void)searchBar:(UISearchBar *)searchBar textDidChange:(NSString *)searchText {
searchRequest = searchBar.text;
if([searchRequest isEqualToString:#""]){
searching = 0;
}
else{
searching = 1;
[idsSearch removeAllObjects];
[namesSearch removeAllObjects];
[self getArtistsStartFrom:0 withLimit:1]; //downloads new data (1 record in this example) with needed predicate (searchRequest) from server, then adds it to arrays and performs [self.tableView reloadData] at the end.
}

I have a UITableView populated with 27 rows. I am trying to change the accessoryType of the selected cell. I do that in the didSelectRowAtIndexPath: delegate method.
The problem I am facing is that, when selecting a row and changing the accessoryType of the cell, the eleventh row from that row also gets modified.
I have tried printing the [indexPath row] value, but it's showing only the row that was selected and not another one.
I am really puzzled by such stuff; please help me out.
ADDED THE CODE cellForRowAtIndexPath method
UITableViewCell *cell;
if ([indexPath row] == 0) {
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"acell"];
}
else {
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"bcell"];
}
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
if (cell == nil && [indexPath row] != 0) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:
UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:#"bcell"] autorelease];
}
else if(cell == nil && [indexPath row] == 0){
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:
UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:#"acell"] autorelease];
}
if ([cell.contentView subviews]){
for (UIView *subview in [cell.contentView subviews]) {
[subview removeFromSuperview];
}
}
if ([indexPath row] == 0) {
cell.textLabel.text = #"Select All";
cell.textLabel.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:13.0f];
}
else {
cell.textLabel.text = #"Some Text Here"
cell.detailTextLabel.text = #"Another piece of text here"
}
return cell;
I am doing %10 because the behaviour is repeating after 11th row, hence trying to create new object for every 11th row.
My didSelectRowAtIndexPath methos code is
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
if (cell.accessoryType == UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark) {
if ([indexPath row] != 0) {
NSIndexPath *tempIndex = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0];
UITableViewCell *tempCell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:tempIndex];
tempCell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
}
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
}
else{
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
}
if ([indexPath row] == 0) {
for (int i = 0; i < [dataSource count]; i++) {
NSIndexPath *tempIndex = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:i+1 inSection:0];
UITableViewCell *tempCell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:tempIndex];
if (cell.accessoryType == UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark) {
tempCell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
}
else{
tempCell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
}
}
}
Please help me in multiple selection or anyother way to solve the problem of multiple selection.
Thanks in advance!!
Here's one way to do it:
- (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];
}
[cell.textLabel setText:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Row %d", indexPath.row]];
NSIndexPath* selection = [tableView indexPathForSelectedRow];
if (selection && selection.row == indexPath.row) {
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
} else {
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
}
// Configure the cell.
return cell;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath].accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didDeselectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath].accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
}
Remember every cell in the table view is actually the same object being re-used. If you don't set the accessory type every time cellForRowAtIndexPath is called, when new cells scroll onto the screen they're going to all have the same accessory.
Multiple Select
For multiple selection it's a bit more complicated.
Your first option: Undocumented API
Note that this only works when the table's in editing mode. Set each cell's editing style to the undocumented UITableViewCellEditingStyleMultiSelect. Once you do that, you can get the table view's selection via an undocumented member of UITableView: indexPathsForSelectedRows. That should return an array of the selected cells.
You can expose this bit of functionality by putting this in a header:
enum {
UITableViewCellEditingStyleMultiSelect = 3,
};
#interface UITableView (undocumented)
- (NSArray *)indexPathsForSelectedRows;
#end
Then set the editing style for each cell like so:
- (UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
return UITableViewCellEditingStyleMultiSelect;
}
When the table is in editing mode you'll see the multi-select controls on your cells.
To look through other undocumented API, you can use the nm command line utility like this:
nm /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS4.3.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/UIKit
Your second option: Manage the selection yourself
Have your UITableView subclass contain an array that indicates which cells are selected. Then in cellForRowAtIndexPath, configure the cell's appearance using that array. Your didSelectRowAtIndexPath method should then look something like this:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if ([tableView indexPathIsSelected:indexPath]) {
[tableView removeIndexPathFromSelection:indexPath];
} else {
[tableView addIndexPathToSelection:indexPath];
}
// Update the cell's appearance somewhere here
[tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:NO];
}
This assumes you create indexPathIsSelected, removeIndexPathFromSelection, and addIndexPathToSelection methods in your UITableView subclass. These methods should do exactly what their names imply: Add, remove, and check for index paths in an array. You wouldn't need a didDeselectRowAtIndexPath implementation if you go with this option.
Remember every cell in the table view is actually the same object being re-used. If you don't set the accessory type every time cellForRowAtIndexPath is called, when new cells scroll onto the screen they're going to all have the same accessory." - daxnitro
This is where I got caught. I had mine set up so that in my "cellForRowAtIndexPath" function, I would only change the accessory for those specified in my array of checked cells, when what I should have done was update the accessory for all cells in the table.
In other words:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
//normal set up
//retrieve key
NSUserDefaults *settings = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
id obj = [settings objectForKey:#yourKey];
//if the array is not populated, keep standard format for all cells
if (obj == nil){
selectedStyles = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:nil];
[cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryNone]; //no check mark
[cell textLabel].textColor = [[UIColor alloc] initWithRed:0.0/255 green:0.0/255 blue:0.0/255 alpha:1.0]; //keep black color
}
//else retrieve information from the array and update the cell's accessory
else{
//if the cell is in your array, add a checkbox
[cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark]; //add check box
[cell textLabel].textColor = [[UIColor alloc] initWithRed:50.0/255 green:79.0/255 blue:133.0/255 alpha:1.0]; //change color of text label
//if the cell is not in your array, then keep standard format
[cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryNone]; //no check mark
[cell textLabel].textColor = [[UIColor alloc] initWithRed:0.0/255 green:0.0/255 blue:0.0/255 alpha:1.0]; //keep black color
Hope this helps!
I have a TableView control which I've sectioned/grouped. However this has now broken the code which determines the item I've selected in the Table.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)aTableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
/*
When a row is selected, set the detail view controller's detail item to the item associated with the selected row.
*/
//detailViewController.detailItem = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Row %d", indexPath.row];
if (_delegate != nil) {
Condition *condition = (Condition *) [_conditions objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[_delegate conditionSelectionChanged:condition];
}
}
My sample data currently has 6 sections, the first one contains two items with all the rest containing one. If I select the second item in the first section, the details view updates fine, any other selection always shows the first item in the first section (item 0).
I'm assuming this is because indexPath.row is returning 0 for the other sections as it's the first item in that section, which is then causing the first object from my array to be chosen.
How do I fix my code to ensure the correct item is selected? Everything else works fine other than this.
cellForRowAtIndexPath
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"CellIdentifier";
// Dequeue or create a cell of the appropriate type.
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
}
//get the letter in the current section
NSString *alphabet = [conditionIndex objectAtIndex:[indexPath section]];
//get all conditions beginning with the letter
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"name beginswith[c] %#", alphabet];
NSArray *conditionsGrouped = [_conditions filteredArrayUsingPredicate:predicate];
if ([conditionsGrouped count] > 0) {
Condition *condition = [conditionsGrouped objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = condition.name;
}
return cell;
}
You should take into account indexPath.section, as well.
You should create a bi-dimensional _conditions array, indexed by section and then by row.
Got it working by following the answer at this post:
