How to set the selected row of a tableView

Question

I have a UITableView and I add cells with a button on the UIViewController.

If the cells are tapped, you are brought to a new viewController which has a picker.

How can I set the the selected cell's text as title for next viewController?

Sorry, What is the method to set the title of a selected tableViewCell? — i_duhh_bomb, Aug 17 '13 at 04:46
I answered the other question that you posted tonight (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18284718/top-cell-name-changes-when-changing-any-cell-name/18285571#18285571), and that should answer this one as well. — rdelmar, Aug 17 '13 at 05:46

IF YOU WANT TO SEND SELECTED ROW's TITLE TO NEXT VIEW CONTROLLER (push)

Create property (say title) in your new view controller's .h file to hold title of selected row and synthesize title property in your new view controller's .m file.

update didSelectRowAtIndexPath

 -(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath   *)indexPath 


 {
 YourNewViewController *vc= [[YourNewViewController          
 alloc]initWithNibName:@"YourNewViewControllerNIB" bundle:nil];

 vc.title=[[titleArray objectAtIndexPath]indexPath.row];

 [self.navigationController pushViewController:vc animated:YES];

 }

now you have selected row's title in your new view controller.
for setting this title as navigation bar title write this code to viewDidLoad of your new view controller.

self.navigationItem.title=title.

IF YOU WANT TO SEND SELECTED ROW's TITLE TO PREVIOUS VIEW CONTROLLER (POP)

for this you have to use delegate pattern and you have to make custom protocols.

follow this. - Passing Data between View Controllers

// This is how to get selected cell

UITableViewCell *cell = [self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:[tableView indexPathForSelectedRow]];

cell.textLabel.text = @"Some title";

In the didSelectRowAtIndexpath method

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    UITableViewCell *Cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    NSString *NewTitle = @"Add your new title here";

You want to pop back to the view and the particular cell should have the title u selected from the picker in the next view ? – IronManGill Aug 17 '13 at 05:14
That is exactly right – i_duhh_bomb Aug 17 '13 at 05:15
@user2660874- then you need to create custom protocol > :0 – iPatel Aug 17 '13 at 05:17
Then simply create a global string like NSString *GlobalString in lets say your Appdelegate.h .... Then simply inherit the class in both the views and assign your picker value to the GlobalString and same in your previous view ..... – IronManGill Aug 17 '13 at 05:18

Write this code in either button's method OR your picker's method

      UITableViewCell *cell = [self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:[tableView indexPathForSelectedRow]];
      cell.textLabel.text = self.MyButtonName.titleLabel.text;
      [self.tableView reloadData];

Are you looking for the selected row?

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)_tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    UITableViewCell *cell = [_tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    [cell.textLabel setText:@"Your Title"];
    [_tableView reloadData];

}
