Question

So I have a UITableView, and I want to put a check next to a row depending on the time of day. For example, if its 9:00 AM, I want a check on the first row only, etc.

Here is the code I’m working with:

cell.accessoryType = [self setTheAccessaryType:indexPath.row];

Here is that method:

-(UITableViewCellAccessoryType )setTheAccessaryType:(int)indexPath {

    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [dateFormatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle]; 
    [dateFormatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterNoStyle];


    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"HH"];
    int hour = [[dateFormatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]] intValue];

    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"mm"];
    int minute = [[dateFormatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]] intValue];

    [dateFormatter release];


    if (indexPath == 0 && hour >= 8 && minute >= 20) {
        NSLog(@"in here");
        return UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
    }

    return UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
}

Thanks in advance
Let me know if you need more information

Answer 1

You’re returning AccessoryNone in both cases, maybe you wanted to return UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark from inside your if statement.
