IndexPath for variable row

Question

I am using a UITableView with prototype cells. The main TableView is DiveDetails2VC and the prototype cell is based on DiveItemViewController via segue.

I need to save to parse the results, and have been able to save only row 0 to parse. I do not know how to set this up so that any row selected in the tableview is sent to parse. I am aware this is caused by the line in saveEntry:

let indexPath = NSIndexPath(forRow: 0, inSection: 0)

but I do not know how to set the forRow statement to allow any row within the displayed array. There is only one section.

DiveItemViewController

class DiveItemViewController: UITableViewController, ItemDataProtocol
{

private let NumberOfSections: Int = 1

// MARK: - Public Properties

//
//  This property is an object that conforms to the ItemDataSelectedProtocol. We use it to call the
//  selectedItem method.
//
var itemDataSelectedDelegate: AnyObject?


private var itemData: Array<String> = Array<String>()


override func viewDidLoad()
{
    super.viewDidLoad()

    // Adds "+" to dive item selection so divers can add another item to the selected list

    navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: .Add, target: self, action: #selector(DiveItemViewController.AddItemButton(_:)))
}

override func didReceiveMemoryWarning()
{
    super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
}

// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell
{
    let cell: UITableViewCell! = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier(Resource.DiveItemCell)

    if self.itemData.isEmpty == false
    {
        cell.textLabel?.text = itemData[indexPath.row]
    }

    parseItem = cell.textLabel!.text!

    return cell
}

override func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int
{
    return self.NumberOfSections
}

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int

    return itemData.count

        }

    }

Answer 1

Declare a var in your viewController:

var selectedIndexPath: NSIndexPath?

And then in your didSelectRowAtIndexPath, set this var with the selected indexPath like:

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath)
{
    if let _ = self.selectedIndexPath {
        selectedIndexPath = indexPath
    }else{
        selectedIndexPath = NSIndexPath(forRow: indexPath.row, inSection: indexPath.section)
    }
    tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath)?.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryType.Checkmark
    if self.itemDataSelectedDelegate?.respondsToSelector(#selector(DiveDetails2VC.itemDataSelectedItem(_:))) != nil
    {
        (self.itemDataSelectedDelegate as! ItemDataSelectedProtocol).itemDataSelectedItem(indexPath.row)
    }
    tableView.deselectRowAtIndexPath(indexPath, animated: true)
}

And then use this selectedIndexPath like this in your saveEntry method:

@IBAction func saveEntry (sender: AnyObject) {   
    if let indexPath = selectedIndexPath {
       let cell = tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath)
       ...
    } 
}

EDIT: Added ")" behind "inSection: indexPath.section)"
