Keep rows selected upon dismissing and returning to UITable ViewController.

When I make a selection and dismiss the table view controller, the selection is no longer there when I return. I set clearsSelectionOnViewWillAppear to false inside viewWillAppear but that didn't work, someone on StackOverflow mentioned doing the following:

override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
    self.clearsSelectionOnViewWillAppear = false

    let indexPaths = self.drugTableView.indexPathsForSelectedRows()

    self.tableView.selectRowAtIndexPath(indexPath: indexPaths, animated: true, scrollPosition: UITableViewScrollPosition.None)

}

but that won't compile due to this error

Cannot convert the expression's type '(indexPath: [AnyObject]?, animated: BooleanLiteralConvertible, scrollPosition: UITableViewScrollPosition)' to type 'BooleanLiteralConvertible'

Could someone help me out with this one?

Thank you.
