how to check uitableviewcell accessoryView contains image or not - iphone

Question

Is it possible to check uitableviewcell accessoryview contains image or not?
For example
if([self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath].accessoryView == [UIImage imageNamed:#"selected.png"] )
Some this like that or with different method.
Thank you

Answer 1

By default accessoryView will be null.
You can check for -
if (self.tableView.accessoryView) {
// An image is present
}

Answer 2

For my app I have created a custom cell and then added the imageView at the contentView
But for your requirement you can do something like this
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 20, 20)];
cell.accessoryView = imageView];
imageView.tag = 3;
[imageView release];
}
NSArray *subviews = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:cell.contentView.subviews];
UIImageView *imageView;
for (UIView *subview in subviews)
{
if([subview isKindOfClass:[UIImageView class]] && subview.tag == 3);
imageView = [subview copy];
}
[subviews release];
if([selectedArray containsObject:indexPath])
imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"Selected.png"];
else
imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"Unselected.png"];
}
And in this method do the same thing to get the imageView object
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

First:
if([self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath].accessoryView == [UIImage imageNamed:#"selected.png"] )
this is wrong... acessaryview is not an image, it's UIView.
Check for:
if(nil != [self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath].accessoryView)
{
// It has got something in it...
}
else
{
//create an accessary view....
}

This is how I implement multiselect tableview with checkboxes in each cell
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *MyIdentifier = #"MyIdentifier";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:MyIdentifier];
UIButton *disclosureButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[disclosureButton setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:#"Arial-BoldMT" size:12.0]];
[disclosureButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"checkboxoff.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
disclosureButton.tag = 0;
[disclosureButton setFrame:CGRectMake(0,0, 30,30)];
[disclosureButton addTarget:self action:#selector(select:event:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:MyIdentifier] autorelease];
[cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone];
[cell.textLabel setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
[cell setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"bluemappointer.png"]];
[cell setAccessoryView:disclosureButton];
}
else{
int n = indexPath.row;
if([selectedPlaces objectForKey:indexPath] != nil){
disclosureButton.tag = 1;
[disclosureButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"checkboxon.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[cell setAccessoryView:disclosureButton];
}
else{
[disclosureButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"checkboxoff.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
disclosureButton.tag = 0;
[cell setAccessoryView:disclosureButton];
}
}
NSString *name = [tableData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[cell.textLabel setText:name];
return cell;
}
