Checkmark won't show in TableViewCell on iOS7 - ios6

Question

I'm working on a weird issue right now. My Apps Deployment Target is set to iOS6, so I want to support both iOS6 and iOS7.
I just have a simple UITableView, in which the user can select the preferred notification sound.
The code for - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath is:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"CheckmarkCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
[cell setTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];
if (indexPath.section == 0){
cell.textLabel.text = [_availableSounds objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
if (indexPath.row == _checkedSoundIndexPath.row) {
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
}
}
else {
// Unrelated, another settings cell
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
}
return cell;
}
My - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath looks like the following:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if (indexPath.section != 0) {
return;
}
[self.tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
[[self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath] setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark];
if (_checkedSoundIndexPath != indexPath) {
[[self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:_checkedSoundIndexPath] setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryNone];
}
_checkedSoundIndexPath = indexPath;
}
The problem is that an iOS7 iPhone won't show the checkmark as expected. Running the same code on an iOS6 iPhone works as expected. I tried to insert [cell setTintColor:[UIColor redColor]]; but without any luck. Even if I remove all AccessoryType related code and add the checkmark in my storyboard nothing appears. See screenshots below (first is iOS6 and second is iOS5).
Does anyone have an idea ? Or is it a bug in iOS7 ?
Thanks in advance !
Edit:
Even if I make a new simple UITableViewController, with just 5 cells with the Accessory set to UITableViewAccessoryTypeCheckmark, the Checkmarks won't appear on iOS7.

Answer 1

I had a similar problem and I solved this issues changing the tint color of the uitableview
I changed the tintcolot of uitable by InterfaceBuilder to Default color
or
tableView.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];

Answer 2

I had the exact same problem as you are for a long time.
In my case I implemented some appearance tweaks. And one of them was
[[UIView appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
Try to find in your project global things like that.

Answer 3

In my application it working perfect,check it
//take it in .h file mutable arSelectedRows;
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
[cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleGray];
//Do anything you want for cell here
if([arSelectedRows containsObject:indexPath]) {
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
}
else {
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
}
return cell;
}
#pragma mark - Table view delegate
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
if(cell.accessoryType == UITableViewCellAccessoryNone) {
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
[arSelectedRows addObject:indexPath];
}
else {
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
[arSelectedRows removeObject:indexPath];
}
NSLog(#"id are here :%#",arSelectedIDs);
[tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
}
may be ,it will helpful.

Answer 4

No, There is No Problem with UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark in iOS 7,Make sure you have implemented correct logic for it.

Answer 5

I think the problem is with your checksoundIndexpath, please check whether it has a correct indexpath, Or First check with hardcoded indexpath.
you are not initializing the checksoundindxpath.
Also I noticed you are not assigning the selected row indexpath to _checkSoundIndexpath, Only you are checking if both indexpaths(current indexpaths and _checksoundindexpath) are equal, But if they are different then you should assign the selected indedxpath to _checksound indexpath.

Answer 6

I can solve this problem by set tint color for Cell
It didnt show because cell tint in white ,and cell selectionstyle is none
cell.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
if(cell.selected){
[cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark];
}else{
[cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryNone];
}

Answer 7

I would rather reload tableview (preferably only the affected rows - using reloadRowsAtIndexPaths) after settings appropriate data in didSelectRowAtIndexPath: method.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
// Other logic..
[tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:NO]; // Would like to look for an alternative method to avoid this refresh??
NSMutableArray *reloadArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:2];
[reloadArray addObject:indexPath];
[reloadArray addObject:_checkedSoundIndexPath];
self.checkedSoundIndexPath = indexPath; // Should set this before reload
[tableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:reloadArray withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationAutomatic];
}
And, most importantly, add these lines in cellForRowAtIndexPath: method -
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
// All your other code for this section followed by these lines...
if([_checkedSoundIndexPath compare:indexPath] == NSOrderedSame) {
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
}
else {
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
}
// Other sections code
return cell;
}

Answer 8

I know the original question uses a simple UITableViewCell but this might work for someone else with a custom table view cell.
I have a custom UITableViewCell subclass. I tried everything but the checkmark won't show. Eventually I realised that I overrode layoutSubviews but forgot to call [super layoutSubviews]. Which meant the checkmark would not show correctly.
- (void)layoutSubviews
{
[super layoutSubviews];
//...custom layout here
}
