objective c - iOS: I am trying to send the selected rows(data) to another controller.

Question

I have a tableview for which I am using

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath        *)indexPath
{
[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath].accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
}

I have an NSArray *selectedDiscounts which I have assigned like this

selectedDiscounts = [self.tableView indexPathsForSelectedRows];

I have to pass the selected table rows data to another controller where I will be populating the tableView with selected rows.

The problem is selectedDiscounts either holds only selected indexPaths and not the data? because of which it shows me the number of objects that are selected but not the data for those selected cells.

I want to store the selected rows data into an NSArray variable. Is that possible? Thanks guys.

Answer 1

You need to iterate through all of your index paths and get the data yourself.

NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

for (NSIndexPath *indexPath in selectedDiscounts) {
    // Assuming self.data is an array of your data
    [array addObject: self.data[indexPath.row]];
}

Now you have your NSArray that contains your data that can you pass to your next controller.
