Deselecting the table view row when returning

why you just don't deselect it in the delegate method

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{[self.tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:[self.tableView indexPathForSelectedRow] animated:YES];}

If you are using a NavigationController, you can do it with its delegate:

- (void)navigationController: (UINavigationController *)navigationController       didShowViewController: (UIViewController *)viewController                    animated: (BOOL)animated{    [self.tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:[self.tableView indexPathForSelectedRow] animated:YES];}

But you have to check whether the show controller is which you want =/

[EDIT]Create the outlet and link it in IB to NavigationController

@interface MyInt <UINavigationControllerDelegate>{    IBOutlet UINavigationController *navigation;    ...}@property (nonatomic, retain) UINavigationController *navigation;...@end@implementation MyInt@syntesize navigation;- (void)viewDidLoad{    [super viewDidLoad];    [self.navigation setDelegate: self];}...@end

Are you selecting the row programmatically? If so, I had the same problem when selecting a row using [cellToBeSelected setSelected:YES];.

By using the UITableViewController's selectRowAtIndexPath:animated:scrollPosition: method it kept track of the current selected indexPath.

In fact, if clearsSelectionOnViewWillAppear is set to true, one does not have deselect rows manually.
