How to deselect a selected UITableView cell?

Solution 1:

use this code

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath 
 {
    //Change the selected background view of the cell.
     [tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
 }

Swift 3.0:

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    //Change the selected background view of the cell.
    tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true)
}

Solution 2:

Use the following method in the table view delegate's didSelectRowAtIndexpath (Or from anywhere)

[myTable deselectRowAtIndexPath:[myTable indexPathForSelectedRow] animated:YES];

Solution 3:

Try this:

for (NSIndexPath *indexPath in tableView.indexPathsForSelectedRows) {
    [tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:NO];
}

Solution 4:

It might be useful to make an extension in Swift for this.

Swift 4 and Swift 5:

Swift extension (e.g. in a UITableViewExtension.swift file):

import UIKit

extension UITableView {

    func deselectSelectedRow(animated: Bool)
    {
        if let indexPathForSelectedRow = self.indexPathForSelectedRow {
            self.deselectRow(at: indexPathForSelectedRow, animated: animated)
        }
    }

}

Use e.g.:

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool)
{
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)

    self.tableView.deselectSelectedRow(animated: true)
}

Solution 5:

Please check with the delegate method whether it is correct or not. For example;

-(void) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didDeselectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

for

-(void) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
