UITableView Checkmark repeats problem!

[ferranms]

Hi there!!!

I do not have a lot of coding experience...so I need some help please!!

In the following code, in a UITableView I wanted to put checkmarks, so that when a cell is touched, a checkmark appeared in that cell. This works fine, but when I tap a cell, 11 rows down, a cell is checkmarked, without tapping it... Does anyone can help me I apreciate it a lot!!

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)theTableView
didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)newIndexPath {
	
    [theTableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:[theTableView indexPathForSelectedRow] animated:NO];
    UITableViewCell *cell = [theTableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:newIndexPath];
    if (cell.accessoryType == UITableViewCellAccessoryNone) {
        cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
        // Reflect selection in data model
    } else if (cell.accessoryType == UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark) {
        cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
        // Reflect deselection in data model
    }
}

Cells get reused. You can't use this approach to accomplish what you want. Keep track of something else, like the indexPath.
