UISwitch in UITableView reset while scrolling

[vikinara]

Hi

I have a UITableview with custom cells in it. One of the customcell has a UISWITCH in it. When the scroll the table view the state of the switch gets reset even if I set it to ON. How can I maintain the state of the switch during scroll. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

What you probably mean is, not when you scroll, but when the cell needs to be displayed again after being scrolled off the screen.

The answer is, don't store state in your table view cells. Define a model to store everything. The cells will come and go, and you will lose information if you rely on them sticking around.

The backing store for your data will depend on your needs and preferences. Could be a SQLite database, could be a plist, could be NSUserDefaults.

I have this method hooked up to the switch. It works fine but when i scroll it gets reset to the original OFF state and the data disappears. please give me some suggestions.

-(IBAction)sameDriverid)sender{

if ([sender isOn]){

NSLog(@"%@",(otherdriver.drive ? @"YES" : @"NO"));

NSUserDefaults* defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[defaults setBool: YES forKey: K_SWITCH_KEY];
[defaults synchronize];

Switchon = [defaults boolForKey: K_SWITCH_KEY];


if(Switchon){

otherdriver.dfname.text = fname;
otherdriver.dlname.text = lname;
otherdriver.demail.text = email;
otherdriver.dpnum.text = phone;

}
}
else if(![sender isOn]){

NSUserDefaults* defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[defaults setBool: NO forKey: K_SWITCH_KEY];
[defaults synchronize];

NSLog(@"%@",(otherdriver.drive ? @"YES" : @"NO"));

Switchon = [defaults boolForKey: K_SWITCH_KEY];

otherdriver.dfname.text = drfname;
otherdriver.dlname.text = drlname;
otherdriver.demail.text = dremail;
otherdriver.dpnum.text = drphone;


}}

Show your implementation of cellForRowAtIndexPath.

so the UISwitch is not on UITableView......

My advice is to start reading a book, you miss some basics concepts....

Start from this tutorial about UITableView
