How to remember rows selected and maintain them after reload by default in UITableView?

NSIndexPath *indexPath = [tableView indexPathForSelectedRow];

will give you the NSIndexPath for the current selected row. You can then do

[tableView selectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath                        animated:NO                  scrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionMiddle];

to select that row (and show it in the middle of the screen) later.

I had the same question, and this is how I did it:

In your tableViewController, add this in this function

(UITableViewCell *)tableView: (UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {        if(indexPath.row == 'the row you want to select')    {        [tableView             selectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath             animated:TRUE             scrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionNone        ];        [[tableView delegate]             tableView:tableView             didSelectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath        ];    }}

This will do it:

NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:row inSection:section];[tableView selectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:NO scrollPosition: UITableViewScrollPositionNone];

Where row is the cell number you want to select (starts 0...), and section is the section where the cell appears.
