UITableView - which row was selected?

Question

My question is: how can I get the number of rows selected in the table? I assign it manually to a variable. The problem is that if the string was canceled, my variable still retains the old value.

What can I do? Is there a method in a UITableView that returns the number of the currently selected row?

Thanks in advance, Ilya.

Answer 1

If you have not implemented a delegate (see nduplessis), UITableView also offers:

- (NSIndexPath *)indexPathForSelectedRow 

Answer 2

UITableViewDelegate will call

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

when a row is selected. From this, you can easily define a string using indexPath.section and indexPath.row
