Check and uncheck the same UITableViewCell

Question

I need to uncheck cell in my tableView. Like a checkbox, once i pressed a cell it stay selected, if i pressed again the same cell it stay unselected. Is it possible?

All I found is some method for deselecting cells

[table deselectRowAtIndexPath:NSIndexPath animated:YES];

but it's not useful

upd: i don't need to check many cells, all i need to uncheck cell if a tap on selected cell, and if i tap on other(unselected) cell, selected should change state to unselected(it's already work by default in cells)

Where your datasource is load do this

arrSelected = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for (int i = 0; i <arrSong.count; i++) {
    [arrSelected addObject:[NSNumber numberWithBool:NO]];
}

In your cell for indexpath do this

if ([[arrSelected objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] boolValue] == YES) {
    [cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark];
}
else{
    [cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryNone];
}

To select/deselect do thisin you tableview:didselect

    if ([[arrSelected objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] boolValue] == YES) {
        [arrSelected replaceObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row withObject:[NSNumber numberWithBool:NO]];
    }
    else{
        [arrSelected replaceObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row withObject:[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES]];
    }

good, but works only if i add [tableView reloadData]; if ([[arrSelected objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] boolValue] == YES) { [arrSelected replaceObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row withObject:[NSNumber numberWithBool:NO]]; [tableView reloadData]; } — , Aug 18 '14 at 13:42

the easiest way, but it's not the best: In didSelectRow, before setingTheAccesoryType you just have to call:

[tableView reloadData];

and this will deselect all the rows all the rows, and after that check the currentCell,

in cellForRow you set the accesoryType of the cell to none.

ios swift

1. by default all the cell are inactive state so store cell in dictionary

var indexPathCheckmark = [Int: Bool]()

// set all the values initally false for check mark
                    for var index = 0 ; index < self.listOfOldApps.count ; index++ {
                        self.indexPathCheckmark[index] = false
                    }

inside your didSelectRowAtIndexPath using following

// set a check marker for all cell required
    let cell = tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath)
    if (indexPathCheckmark[indexPath.row] == false) {
        indexPathCheckmark[indexPath.row] = true
        cell?.accessoryView = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "done-active"))
    } else {
        indexPathCheckmark[indexPath.row] = false
        cell?.accessoryView = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "done"))
    }

Check and uncheck the same UITableViewCell
