How to make a cell on a UITableView not selectable?

Question

I have a cell that I am inserting to the top of a UITableView. How can I make sure that when the user clicks on the cell, it doesn't show the blue selected indicator?

Answer 1

To remove the ability of selecting any table cells, or particular table cells based on the row index, use willSelectRowAt

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, willSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> IndexPath? {


        return nil
    }

To simply remove the UI effect of selecting the element, set the selection style of the UITableViewCell to UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone

Swift 5:

selectionStyle = .none
