Question

I have multiple cells selected in a UITableView, but they automatically get deselected after editing. I searched a bit and I saw people saying that they called ‘reloadData’ which has caused the selections to be removed, but I do not call reloadData anywhere except for in ‘viewDidAppear’. They get deselected even if the editing has been cancelled without changing anything (when clicking ‘edit’ button in the toolbar then clicking ‘done’ button without any editing). I’m not sure where this is happening. Or, if I could detect when the editing has been finished (when ‘done’ button has been clicked), I could simply reselect all the cells that had been selected, but I’m not sure how I could detect it..
How could I prevent the cells from getting deselected? Or reselect the cells after the edit?

Thanks in advance.

Nevermind. I found out that - (void)setEditing:(BOOL)editing animated:(BOOL)animated gets called whenever the ‘edit’ or the ‘done’ button has been clicked.
