Tableview row stays selected after coming back from push segue

Question

My view controller is an UIViewController . I've added UITableView to the UIView . When the tableview row is selected, a push segue fires a new view controller. However, when coming back from the new view controller, the selected row stays selected. I didn't have this problem when my first controller was an UITableviewController , but I had to change it to an UIViewController , because I wanted to add activity indicator to my view. The other thing I noticed is that when my first controller was a UITableviewController , viewDidLoad wasn't called when coming back from the new view controller (but now it's called).

Answer 1

Add...

[tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];

in tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath:

Answer 2

Try this:

[cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone];

This will help you out...

Answer 3

This mechanism, a variation of the suggested answers, removes the selection when the detail view disappears, but also helps the user know what they selected to get to the detail view:

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];

    [self.tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:self.tableView.indexPathForSelectedRow animated:YES];
}

This appears to be what Apple is doing in their own apps. See the behavior when a Contact record is selected in the Contacts app for an example.

Answer 4

You can Add

[tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];

in tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: delegate.

Or you can do

-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [table reloadData];
}

Answer 5

Swift 3.0：

tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true)

Answer 6

tableView.deselectRowAtIndexPath(indexPath, animated: true)

This might help as an updated answer to the question.
