ios - Can't Change Accessory Type From didSelectRowAtIndexPath? -

before post question itself, need state jailbreak app. why i'm writing in "bizarre" folders in filesystem.

let's continue.

here cellforrowatindexpath method:

-(uitableviewcell *)tableview:(uitableview *)tableview cellforrowatindexpath:(nsindexpath *)indexpath {     static nsstring *myidentifier = @"plugincell";     uitableviewcell *cell = [tableview dequeuereusablecellwithidentifier:myidentifier];     if (cell == nil)     {         cell = [[uitableviewcell alloc] initwithstyle:uitableviewcellstyledefault  reuseidentifier:myidentifier];     }     if(indexpath.row == 0)     {         cell.textlabel.text = @"default";     }else     {         //get plugin's display name.         nsbundle *currentplugin = [[nsbundle alloc] initwithpath:[nsstring stringwithformat:@"/library/cydeswitch/plugins/%@", [plugins objectatindex:indexpath.row - 1], nil]];         cell.textlabel.text = [[currentplugin localizedinfodictionary] objectforkey:@"cfbundledisplayname"];         if(cell.textlabel.text == nil)         {             //no localized bundle, let's global display name...             cell.textlabel.text = [[currentplugin infodictionary] objectforkey:@"cfbundledisplayname"];         }          [currentplugin release];     }      if([[[cell textlabel] text] isequaltostring:[settings objectforkey:@"plugintoexecute"]])     {         cell.accessorytype = uitableviewcellaccessorycheckmark;         currentcell = [cell retain];     }     return cell; } 

like can see, method uses member called currentcell point cell "selected". options table , user should able have 1 cell checkmark accessory icon @ time.

when use selects cell, changing option , checkmark supposed disappear current cell , appear in newly appeared cell. this:

-(void)tableview:(uitableview *)tableview didselectrowatindexpath:(nsindexpath *)indexpath {     [tableview deselectrowatindexpath:indexpath animated:yes];     currentcell.accessorytype = uitableviewcellaccessorynone;     [currentcell release];     currentcell = [[self tableview:tableview cellforrowatindexpath:indexpath] retain];     nslog(@"current cell %@", currentcell.textlabel.text);     currentcell.accessorytype = uitableviewcellaccessorycheckmark; } 

but doesn't work. moment tap cell, checkmark correctly disappears old cell, never shows in new cell.

i know selection work fine because nslog there prints new cell's text fine.

i have tried keeping track of indexpath before, didn't work @ all. when tried using indexpaths instead of pointers cells, when user tapped cell nothing happened @ (at least current approach checkmark disappears old cell).

i think has cellforrowatindexpath because if keep pointing @ cells checkmark disappears, reason when trying change accessory type cell fetched cellforrowatindexpath doesn't seem work @ all.

any appreciated.

typo? try this:

currentcell = [[self.tableview cellforrowatindexpath:indexpath] retain];
