how to add checkmark in tableview swift

Question

I'm trying to show checkmark on tableview cell, but the checkmark appears only sometimes and it disappears when I scroll.

Below the code:

 
    func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell
    {
        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("vvxxx12", forIndexPath: indexPath)
    
        // Configure the cell...
        
    cell.textLabel?.text = self.dataArray[indexPath.row] as? String //in dataArray values are stored
             

       if dataArray.containsObject(indexPath)
       {
            cell.accessoryType = .Checkmark
       }
       else {
            cell.accessoryType = .None
        }
       return cell
         }

        func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
            if let cell = tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath) {
                if cell.accessoryType == .Checkmark {
                    cell.accessoryType = .None
                   
                } else {
                    cell.accessoryType = .Checkmark
                   
                }
            }    
        }

So you can do with them in diddeselect method – Pavan Gandhi May 09 '16 at 08:17
you have to checked that array count > 1 then u have to remove all values from array and simply add that selected cells unique value as i did previously – Pavan Gandhi May 09 '16 at 08:18

For Swift 3 following worked for me to

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    yourtableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath as IndexPath)?.accessoryType = .checkmark
}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didDeselectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    yourtableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath as IndexPath)?.accessoryType = .none
}

cell.textLabel?.text = self.dataArray[indexPath.row] as? String

This suggests that dataArray contains strings.

if dataArray.containsObject(indexPath)

This suggests that dataArray contains index paths. Both of these should not be true. One array for data makes sense, and another one for selected rows or rows to be checked also makes sense, but not the same array for both.

What's probably happening is:

Row selected - cell is then updated to have the checkmark accessory
Table scrolled and cellForRowAtIndexPath is called - at no point will dataArray contain an index path, so the accessory is always cleared.

You need to be updating your model when a row is selected, to store the index path of the selected row, or update a selected flag on your model objects.
