TableView Cell - mark specific row as selected when page loads

Normally when a TableView loads no cell is selected until you touch the screen. How do I make a particular row be selected? This row is derived from a database.

Solution 
  • - (void)selectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath animated:(BOOL)animated scrollPosition:(UITableViewScrollPosition)scrollPosition

    is the method you need.

    You can read more about it on Apple's site.
