How can I tell if a UITableView contains a specific NSIndexPath?

Question

Here is the code I\'m using:

if (appDelegate.currentMainIndexPath != nil /* && doesPathExistInTableView */)
{
    [tblView scrollToRowAtIndexPath:appDele         


        

Answer 1

I iterated upon Kamran's answer:

+ (BOOL)isIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath inTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
    if (!indexPath) {
        return NO;
    }
    if (indexPath.section < [tableView numberOfSections]) {
        if (indexPath.row < [tableView numberOfRowsInSection:indexPath.section]) {
            return YES;
        }
    }
    return NO;
}

You could try to get UITableViewCell by :

- (UITableViewCell *)cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
// returns nil if cell is not visible or index path is out of range

here's the complete code :

UITableViewCell *cell = [cellForRowAtIndexPath:appDelegate.currentMainIndexPath];

if (appDelegate.currentMainIndexPath != nil && cell !=nil)
{
    [tblView scrollToRowAtIndexPath:appDelegate.currentMainIndexPath atScrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionTop animated:NO];
    appDelegate.currentMainIndexPath = nil;
}

A Swift adaptation of Kamran Khan's answer:

extension UITableView {
  func hasRowAtIndexPath(indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> Bool {
    return indexPath.section < self.numberOfSections && indexPath.row < self.numberOfRowsInSection(indexPath.section)
  }
}

Swift 4:

extension UITableView {
    func hasRow(at indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool {
        return indexPath.section < self.numberOfSections && indexPath.row < self.numberOfRows(inSection: indexPath.section)
    }
}

Answer 4

There is a more convenient method to tell if a indexPath is valid:

For Swift 3.0:

open func rectForRow(at indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGRect

For Objective-C

- (CGRect)rectForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;

You will get CGRectZero if the indexPath is invalid.

func isIndexPathValid(indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool {
    return !tableView.rectForRow(at: indexPath).equalTo(CGRect.zero)
}

Answer 5

If you mean, 'is there a cell at index n' then you just have to compare the size of you datasource to n

if (appDelegate.currentMainIndexPath != nil [datasource count] > n)
{
    [tblView scrollToRowAtIndexPath:appDelegate.currentMainIndexPath atScrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionTop animated:NO];
    appDelegate.currentMainIndexPath = nil;
}

Where datasource is for instance an NSArray.

You can use this. Pass it indexpath's row and section

Objective C:

-(BOOL) isRowPresentInTableView:(int)row withSection:(int)section
{
    if(section < [self.tableView numberOfSections])
    {
        if(row < [self.tableView numberOfRowsInSection:section])
        {
            return YES;
        }
    }
    return NO;
}

Swift 3:

func isRowPresentInTableView(indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool{
    if indexPath.section < tableView.numberOfSections{
        if indexPath.row < tableView.numberOfRows(inSection: indexPath.section){
            return true
        }
    }

    return false
}
