how to change image when clicked on tableview cell iphone

Question

i have a tableview. i add image to the cells when clicked on the cell in didselectrow method by using cell.conteview addsubview. but the problem is if i click on 1st cell it changes the image and when i click on another cell image will appears but the old image is not removed from the previous cell. This is happening for all cells in table view if a cell is clicked. i used the code as follows

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    Practices *bPractices = [topics objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    UIImageView *clickView;
    //[cell.contentView removeFromSuperview];
    clickView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 315, 82)];
    clickView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"list_bg_hover.png"]; 
    [cell.contentView addSubview:clickView];
    [clickView release];

    UILabel *labelText= [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(90, 30, 320, 20)];
    labelText.text=bPractices.practices_title;
    labelText.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
    [cell.contentView addSubview:labelText];

}   

pls help me how to solve this issue

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

That is because the image is now removed when the cell is deselected (ie. when a new cell is selected).

Add a [tableView reloadData] as the first line in that method.

Answer 2

I did something similar, but not with images but buttons. If a cell wasn't selected yet and gets tabbed, the size is changed and a certain and individual number of buttons is added. If another cell was selected, this one gets closed.

Code from form the UITableViewController

interface:

int openedCellIndex;//<-what cell is selected
int buttonCounter;  

implementation:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView 
         cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath 
{

    if ( indexPath.row != openedCellIndex )
    {
        static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

        UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
        if (cell == nil) {
            cell = [[[TRTableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault 
                                           reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] 
                    autorelease];
            //cell.frame = CGRectMake (0,0, 320, 100);
        }

        id <P_E_P1Article> article = [self.fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:indexPath];

        cell.textLabel.text = article.name;

        if ( self.cellBackgroundColor )
            cell.backgroundColor = self.cellBackgroundColor;

            return cell;
    }
    else {

        //get article
        id <P_E_P1Article> article = [self.fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:indexPath];

        //number of buttons
        int buttons = [article.specification count];
        int height = 50 * ceil(buttons / 2) + 50;

        //construct special cell
        UITableViewCell *cell = [[[TRTableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault 
                                                        reuseIdentifier:@"CellBig"] 
                                 autorelease];
        cell.frame = CGRectMake (0,0, 320, 150);
        cell.textLabel.text = @"";

        //add label
        UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 10, 280, 30)];
        label.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:17];
        label.text = article.name;
        label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
        [cell addSubview:label];
        [label release];

        if ( buttonMapper == nil )
            self.buttonMapper = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithCapacity:10];
            //NSLog (@" bla: %@", article.isFreePrice);

            //see if we have a free prized article

            //create the buttons
            NSEnumerator *enumerator = [article.specification objectEnumerator];
            id <P_E_P1ArticleSpecification> spec;
        int count = 0;

        NSArray *specs = 
        [self sortedArticleSpecifications:article];

        for ( spec in specs ) {

            //see which row and col the button is in
            int row = floor ( count / 2 );
            int col = count % 2;

            //define button position
            int left = 20 + col * 145;
            int top = 45 + row * 50;

            //create button
            UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
            button.frame = CGRectMake(left, top, 135, 40);
            [cell addSubview:button];
            [button setTitleColor:[UIColor blackColor] forState:0];

            [button addTarget:self 
                       action:@selector(buttonTapped:) 
             forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];


            //remember which article the button is attached to
            buttonCounter++;

            button.tag = buttonCounter;

            [buttonMapper setValue:spec forKey:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"bla%d",buttonCounter]];

            count++;
        }


        if ( self.cellBackgroundColor )
            cell.backgroundColor = self.cellBackgroundColor;

            return cell;
    }

}

    {

        int count = [article.specification count];

        int height = 50 * ceil(count / 2.) + 50;

        return height;
    }

    return 50;

    NSUInteger indexArr2[] = {0, openedCellIndex};

    //update view
    [(UITableView *)self.view beginUpdates];    
    if ( oldIndex >= 0 )

                                        withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
