Call TableView:didSelectRow:AtIndexPath in viewDidLoad

Question

I have to select a row in my UITableView after the view did load.

So I did:

 [self.tableView selectRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0] animated:YES scrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionTop];

This works fine and the row is selected, but I also want the TableView:didSelectRow:AtIndexPath method to be called which is not the case for now.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Since you know the row that you are selecting, you could simply call the method that gets called in tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath directly. Or you could call the tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath yourself:

NSIndexPath *initialIndex = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0];
[self.tableView selectRowAtIndexPath:initialIndex
                            animated:YES 
                      scrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionTop];
[self tableView:self.tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:initialIndex];
