How determine if a Vaadin table row clicked in has been selected or deselected?

Question

Following a user clicking in a row in a Vaadin 7 table, how can I tell if the row has been selected or deselected - clicking in a selected row deselects the row - (since there is also a column of checkboxes which needs to kept in synch)?

When I tried table.getValue() in an ItemClickListener, this returned null if the row is selected and the item id if the row is deselected - i.e. the opposite of what I would have expected?

table.addItemClickListener(new ItemClickEvent.ItemClickListener() {
  @Override
  public void itemClick(ItemClickEvent event) {

    // how tell if row has been selected or deselected?
    Object idx = table.getValue();
  }
});

Thank you, Steve

In the Table api you can use the getValue() method, which results the selected rows.

Depending if in multiselct mode or not, you can then deduce what happens.
