Question

I have seen some posts before, but didn’t get the answer yet, thats why i am trying to post again in more effective manner. How can i use check-uncheck functionality in UITableView like below image.

This is table i want when i click on button of any cell, that buttons image will change, not on all cells.

Answer 1

For Check-Uncheck functionality only buttonClicked: method is not enough. You will have also put the condition in cellForRowAtIndexPath: method for which button is selected or which in unselected because cellForRowAtIndexPath: method will call each time when you will scroll your UITableView and cells will be refresh.
And i saw your previous question you’re adding two buttons with two action not a good way just change the image of button for check-uncheck.

So here is what i do for this –

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface ViewController : UIViewController<UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource>
{
    IBOutlet UITableView *tblView;
    NSMutableArray *arrayCheckUnchek; // Will handle which button is selected or which is unselected
    NSMutableArray *cellDataArray; // this is your data array
}

@end

Now in ViewController.m class –

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

    arrayCheckUnchek = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
    //Assign your cell data array 
    cellDataArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithObjects:@"cell-1",@"cell-2",@"cell-3",@"cell-4",@"cell-5", nil];

    // setting all unchecks initially
    for(int i=0; i<[cellDataArray count]; i++)
    {
        [arrayCheckUnchek addObject:@"Uncheck"];
    }

}


-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section{
    return [cellDataArray count];
}

-(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];
    }

    cell.textLabel.text = [cellDataArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

    UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
    [button setFrame:CGRectMake(270.0, 7.0, 30.0, 30.0)];

    if([[arrayCheckUnchek objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] isEqualToString:@"Uncheck"])
    [button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"uncheck_icon"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    else
    [button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"check_icon"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

    [button addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonClicked:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    [cell.contentView addSubview:button];

    return cell;
}

-(void)buttonClicked:(id)sender
{
    //Getting the indexPath of cell of clicked button

    CGPoint touchPoint = [sender convertPoint:CGPointZero toView:tblView];
    NSIndexPath *indexPath = [tblView indexPathForRowAtPoint:touchPoint];

    // No need to use tag sender will keep the reference of clicked button
    UIButton *button = (UIButton *)sender;

    //Checking the condition button is checked or unchecked.
    //accordingly replace the array object and change the button image
    if([[arrayCheckUnchek objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] isEqualToString:@"Uncheck"])
    {
        [button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"check_icon"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
        [arrayCheckUnchek replaceObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row withObject:@"Check"];
    }
    else
    {
        [button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"uncheck_icon"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
        [arrayCheckUnchek replaceObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row withObject:@"Uncheck"];
    }
}

And finally it will look like –
