Is it possible to refresh a single UITableViewCell in a UITableView?

I have a custom UITableView using UITableViewCells. Each UITableViewCell has 2 buttons. Clicking these buttons will change an image in a UIImageView within the cell.

Is it possible to refresh each cell separately to display the new image? Any help is appreciated.

Solution 1:

Once you have the indexPath of your cell, you can do something like:

[self.tableView beginUpdates];
[self.tableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:indexPathOfYourCell, nil] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];
[self.tableView endUpdates]; 

In Xcode 4.6 and higher:

[self.tableView beginUpdates];
[self.tableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:@[indexPathOfYourCell] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];
[self.tableView endUpdates]; 

You can set whatever your like as animation effect, of course.

Solution 2:

I tried just calling -[UITableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:], but that didn't work. But, the following works for me for example. I alloc and release the NSArray for tight memory management.

- (void)reloadRow0Section0 {
    NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0];
    NSArray *indexPaths = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:indexPath, nil];
    [self.tableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:indexPaths withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];
    [indexPaths release];
}

Solution 3:

Swift:

func updateCell(path:Int){
    let indexPath = NSIndexPath(forRow: path, inSection: 1)

    tableView.beginUpdates()
    tableView.reloadRowsAtIndexPaths([indexPath], withRowAnimation: UITableViewRowAnimation.Automatic) //try other animations
    tableView.endUpdates()
}
