I would keep track of the data that should be checked and change the cell in tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: and update which data is checked in tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: like this:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
// do usual stuff here including getting the cell
// determine the data from the IndexPath.row
if (data == self.checkedData)
{
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
} else {
cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
}
return cell;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
// determine the selected data from the IndexPath.row
if (data != self.checkedData) {
self.checkedData = data;
}
[tableView reloadData];
}
