How can we put a checkbox in uitableviewcell - iphone

I created list of todos. Now I want to put the checkbox for each one cell. When I mark it as checked, it can be marked and then we select delete button if we want, which is also in the same cell at right side and deleted, but I am not able to perform action like this.
Can anyone please help me?

#Chakradhar not a big issue you can do it very easily with or without using custom images.
In your didSelectRowAtIndexPath delegate try to check and set the UITableViewCellAccessory as per your condition.
This is the way in which there is no need to use extra images and you can checked for you particular selected cell:
if (//here you check)
{ // item needed - display checkmark
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
}
else
{ // not needed no checkmark
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
}
Take this shopping tutorial and see didSelectRowAtIndexPath delegate method see how they had used the condition.
Edited as per your last comment: For custom accessory view look for Implement a Custom Accessory View For UITableView in iPhone
Good Luck!

Use this
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;

You can actually add custom button with an unchecked image on your cell. On button action method you can change the image to checked & handle rest of the things you want to handle.

Adding UIPickerView to a UITableViewCell

I want to add a UIPickerView to a UITableViewCell. Right now I am just getting a black window. Can someone also explain me the concept of subclassing UI objects to a cell ie:when do we make our cell as the delegate and the datasource delegate? Thanks
EDIT: Here is the code of what i am doing right now
case 1: {
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"groups"];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:#"groups"];
}
/*NSString *myGroupDetail = [_groupArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSLog(#"the group detail label is %#",myGroupDetail);
cell.textLabel.text = myGroupDetail;
*/
[cell addSubview:_groupPicker];
break;
}
The groups is the section in which I want the picker view, I am getting that data from an array.
you would have to allocate and initialize a pickerview in your cellForRow method of the tableviewdelegate. ill sketch it for you =) how to initialize a cell itself should not be hard to find out if you google a bit ;-)
...(tableView *)... cellForRowAtIndexPath... {
if(indexPath.row == pickerRow){
UIPickerView *pickerView = [[UIPickerView alloc]init];
cell = ... // alloc and initialize a cell
cell addSubview:pickerView];
}
else{ // your other cells }
return cell;
}
UPDATE: im currently having trouble with git, so i uploaded a sample project to my private server: UITablePicker example
github: https://github.com/sebamisc/UItableViewWithPicker
yu can modify and use the code however you want =)

Well, I never did exactly that.
Does it have to be in a cell or could you use the table's header or footer view for that? (I would not suggest a section header/footer view.)
Assuming it is within a UITableViewCell.
Yes, I personally would subclass UITableViewCell. Did that a lot. In that case you cell object could be the data source delegate of the picker. For doing so your subclass of UITableViewCell (let's assume you name it MyTableViewCell) needs to fulfil the related protocol. You add that UIPickerView programmatically within the init Method (initWithStyle) of MyTableViewCell. For the layout within the table cell, you should overwrite the method layoutSubviews. If your app can be rotated to landscape and portrait orientations and/or if your app is designed to run on iPad as well, then this method should dynamically consider the table's bounds. (Screen or windwo bounds are often used hiere but that is not save when the table is displayed within a split master view or a popup view on iPads.)
Strictly spoken your MyTableViewCell should not be the data source delegate, simply because it is a view element and view objects are not supposed to manage any business logic within an MVC design pattern. Smarter would be the implementation of some dedicated view controller for your table view cell hat fulfills the protocol and is assigned as the delegate. However, both would work. In the event that it is the only picker view within your sell, then you could easily use your UITableViewController subclass even without tagging the UIPickerView.
An alternative to subclassing a UITableViewCell is to create the UIPickerView within the cellForRowAtIndexPath method of your tableViewController. That is fine for singe-orientation apps. However, you may setup it in a way that it re-arranges its the UIPickerView automatically.
In any case you should overwrite the heightForRowAtIndexPath method of UITableViewController when your table views do not have the same hight any more. If all of them still have the same height, then you can simply set the rowHeight property of your UITableView.

Displaying checkmark on cells iOS 5

I am creating a basic checklist app and would like to know how to make a cell display a simple checkmark once it is touched. I have used no coding up to this point and have done everything in storyboarding. I have a single view that contains 10 cells. Each cell is a "task". I would like to display a checkmark on each cell as it is clicked. I know some basic objective-c but am not advanced.
the clue is within the accessory of a table cell, you should use something like
cell.accessoryType = myCheckBoolean ? UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark : UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
So you should use a tableview and setup your handling according to selection events or anything else in your existing code and use the above snippet to display the check mark. (Image could not be posted)

How can I set the UITableViewCellAccessory for a chosen row? (iPhone/iPad)

I need a way of setting the UITableViewCellAccessory for any row. However the catch is that I need to be able to do it OUTSIDE of the UITableView delegate methods.
I have tried this, but it doesn't show up the accessory.
[[self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathWithIndex:1]] setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark];
If it makes any difference I created the UITableView in IB in a storyboard. The data is static, and I'm using a grouped table style with only one section.
Please can someone help me out?
If your table view is scrolled so the cell in question may sometimes scroll out of view and then back into view, you should manage the content of that cell only from within the UITableView method cellForRowAtIndexPath:. The reason is that when cells are redrawn, the tableview object calls this method to make sure that visible cells are properly rendered. (Cell that are not visible don't need to be rendered at all.)
That being said, this is where you should handle the cell content, even if the table view doesn't scroll the cell in question out of view. It wil lmake you life a lot easier if you follow this design pattern when working with table views.
Inside that method, you can test (using if statement, for example) the value of the indexPath.section and indexPath.row so that you can configure the specific cell the way you want it. This includes putting in the accessory.
Always use [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:inSection:] when working with table views.
You can figure out what indexPath you need the checkmark on and then use something like this
UITableViewCell * cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:someIndexPath];
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;

UITableCell turning blank after clicked

Im using a regular uitableview with regular uitablecells on it with some text and an image on them. When a cell is clicked I perform tableView: didSelectRowAtIndexPath:, in the end I call [tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES]; and everything works fine. But in the meantime before the next view loads its contents from the web, the clicked cell turns completely blank. Any clue on that?
If your problem is that you don’t want to show the touched UITableCellView as selected you can try cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
Maybe if the problem is the load of the new UIView you can use NSThread and detach the process from the main thread.

iPhone - changing contents of a UITableViewCell inside a navigationController

I have a UITableView with some cells in it that have people's names. When the user clicks on a cell, the Navigation Controller pushes a new view onto the stack that shows detailed info for that person. When the user is done and clicks the button to return to the previous view, the tableview is again shown. The problem is that I want to edit the cell text (or just mark the cell in some way) to show that the user has clicked on that cell. In my cellForRowAtIndexPath: method I have set up code that should change the text of the cell after a user clicks on that cell. I set up break points and it IS entering cellForRowAtIndexPath: when the detail view is popped and the tableview is again shown. It's entering the segment of code in cellForRowAtIndexPath: that should change the text, but when it comes up on screen, the text has not been changed. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on? Thanks.
EDIT: I figured it out. I just needed to call [tableView reloadData]; instead of calling the cellForRowAtIndexPath method. Not sure why that works differently, but it fixed it.
I guess I'll help you out. You don't need to credit me with the answer though.
cellForRowAtIndexPath:
that method is called within the framework when a cell is being refreshed from the queue or when it needs to be created. You should not call this method.
[tableView reloadData];
that method is basically a refresh on all of the visible cells show in the UITableView. This is the method you should call if you change information in your data source or you need to (force) update the appearance of your cells.
It's Good You Have Reload Table And Changed The Text But If YouJustIndicate NAd Don't Want To Change The Text The nYou Can Use elow Given Text ....
[cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark];
It Will Check Mark Particuler Cell Which You Click/Visited......
