Question

I am fairly new to iphone development, and I am trying to create my own “invite your friends” system using UITableViewCell. I Have checked other posts, but i do not know how to fix it. One problem i am having right now is, my UITableViewCell accessorys are repeating. for example. when I click this checkbox.

here is my project link if anyone decides to look at it

and if i scroll down, other checkboxs are also marked

I am wondering how can i fix this.

here is my code

-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section{
switch (section) {
    case 0:
        return 4;
        break;

Answer 1

It’s because you are only storing the row to determine whether a cell is checked or not. Since every section has a cell at index 0/1, this does not work as you want it to.

if([selectedRowsArray containsObject:[content objectAtIndex:row]]){
    cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"[e-mail]"];
}else {
    cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"[e-mail]"];
}

Replace it with this: (assuming you you have an NSMutableSet as a property self.selectedIndexPaths)

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    ...
    if ([self.selectedIndexPaths containsObject:indexPath])
    {
        cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"[e-mail]"];
    }
    else
    {
        cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"[e-mail]"];
    }
    ...
}

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    if ([self.selectedIndexPaths containsObject:indexPath])
    {
        [self.selectedIndexPaths addObject:indexPath];
    }
    else
    {
        [self.selectedIndexPaths removeObject:indexPath];
    }

    [tableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObject:indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];
}
