What I'm trying to do :

I need array in such way that when i select cell i want to add that object to array & when I'm deselecting row i want to remove that row from array so as a result array will be only selected entries. How to do this ?

Here is my code

@implementation Professional

    {
         NSMutableArray *updatedLocalityArray; // alloc,init did in viewDidLoad
         NSString *toCheck;
    }

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

   {

        UITableViewCell *tableViewCell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];

        NSLog(@"%@",tableViewCell.textLabel.text);

        toCheck = tableViewCell.textLabel.text;
        [updatedLocalityArray addObject:toCheck];
        NSLog(@"%@ *****", updatedLocalityArray);

   }

  - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didDeselectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
    {

        UITableViewCell *tableViewCell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
           NSLog(@"%@",tableViewCell.textLabel.text);

        for (NSString *test in updatedLocalityArray)
        {
            if ([test isEqualToString:tableViewCell.textLabel.text])
            {

                [updatedLocalityArray removeObject:test];
                NSLog(@"%@ *****", updatedLocalityArray);

            }

        }

    }

Best Answer

You cannot delete items from a NSMutableArray while iterating it.

There are several solutions to this:

  • Iterate a copy of the array

or

  • Use an index-based for loop instead of the for each syntax.

Not copying the array saves you an allocation and a few CPU cycles:

for (int i = updatedLocalityArray.count-1 ; i >= 0 ; i--)
{
    NSString *test = updatedLocalityArray[i];
    if ([test isEqualToString:tableViewCell.textLabel.text])
    {
        [updatedLocalityArray removeObjectAtIndex:i];
        NSLog(@"%@ *****", updatedLocalityArray);
    }
}
