Set UITableviewcell frame when tableview editing enable - iphone

I am showing data in tableview and on editing it will be as in image. (i had allowed editing only for rows those were come after 4 th index).
Now i want to first four image cell frame as in the below reference image.
And i last i need the output as in the below reference image
.
If any suggestion or references for this problem.
Thanks

For the first four cells, set a transparent image to cell.imageView.image This is not the perfect answer by any means but this will do the trick you want.
OR
For the four cells you can set the cell.textLabel.text by adding few spaces upfront like,
cell.textLabel.text = #" YOUR TEXT";

Your question is not clear.
I think you need the text alignment of all cells in same manner. If it is the case, I'll suggest three options:
When editing is pressed reload the tableView and add necessary spaces for first 3 rows
If you are using custom cells make another one for first three cells with exact spaces
If you are adding UILabel as subview of these cells change the frame

You can create the following by creating two sections in the UITableView , where for the second view you can set the editing TRUE (not in first section) . Also pass the title for second section as "On My Pad" as shown in your reference image .
Hope it will help you !

Large text not displaying as multiple lines for UILabel in a custom tableview cell

Setting up the UILabel on the attributes inspector as follow expands the cell and display the large text as multiple lines correctly for a Subtitle tableview cell:
Lines = 0
Line Break = Word wrap
But this doesn't work in a custom tableview cell for some reasons. In the custom cell, I added new labels and setup the attributes the same way but the cell doesn't expand.
It could be a matter of constraint.
Check to see if there are any conflicting constraints or fixed settings.
In order for elements of a cell to be set flexibly, the height of the cell must be set to the automatic value.
When I set it up like this, I was able to get the results I wanted.

Collapsable Table Cells [Swift 3] [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Accordion table cell - How to dynamically expand/contract uitableviewcell?
(5 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I am trying to recreate the collapsable date picker that the calendar app uses when creating a new event. I've put an example of what I'm trying to do on github
In short, I've created a static table, added three cells. The first cell is for the date, and contains a button to toggle the second cell. The second cell is the date picker. The third cell is arbitrary. In the code I'm trying to set the height of the table cell (and the date picker if needed) to zero, and then toggle the size whenever the user clicks the button. No matter what I've tried, I can't a) get the cell to collapse without some sort of gap, and 2) get the animation to smoothly transition from expanded to collapsed and back again.
Edit: This question is not the same as the duplicate answer, in that I wanted to expand a separate table cell and not the same cell as being selected. But, I personally can live with using a same-cell expansion. I also updated my github project so future people can see a working example.
It's very simple; you are probably over-thinking things here. This functionality is built in; Apple wants you to be able to expand and contract a cell. You just aren't using the API Apple has provided. Use it! Here's how.
The date picker cells are always present. But their height is zero (and their clipsToBounds is true) so you don't see them. So implement heightForRowAtIndexPath to return zero for those cells.
To show a date picker cell, change what heightForRowAtIndexPath returns (this is easiest if you have a property that holds this value, so you can just change the property value and have heightForRowAtIndexPath read it from there) and say:
self.tableView.beginUpdates()
self.tableView.endUpdates()
That's all there is to it!
Here's a quick demo I made. The red and orange things are cells. The table has three cells but the second one, containing the date picker, starts out with zero height:

add finishing separator on uitableview

I have a custom separator style (fairly simple):
[[UITableView appearance] setSeparatorColor:SOMECOLOR];
Now I want to have my tableview finish with a separator. Currently separators only appear between two cells, but I want to have a separator at the end.
see here:
any ideas how this could be done?
I usually make my own separator inside the table view cell. I do this with a UIView that spans the width of the cell and is 1 or 2 points high.
In your case, if you want the system separator, you would have to add a custom cell at the end which is all transparent and 1 point high. UITableView would then add the missing separator.
I understand it you want a separator at the end as well? You can add a footer view to achieve this effect.
Make a footer view with height of 0.0001. To do so simply implement the following tableview delegate method :
-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section{
return 0.001;
}

do I need separate UILabel in a custom UIView to have separate UILabel lines in a UITableViewCell?

do I need separate UILabel in a custom UIView to have separate UILabel lines in a UITableViewCell?
That is, if I want to have a TableViewCell that has all text, but the text needs to contain 4 separate rows for 4 separate strings (e.g. Name, Title, Description, Location), and each these separate rows could include a wrap around.
To ask the question the other way around, is there way with a normal UITableViewCell using it content view and single text label, to force Carriage Return/New Line points at the end of each of the four strings? Oh yes, and the cell height will need to be calculated for each Cell as it may vary (just in case this is significant)
The answer to the last question: NO. (Answer to the title: YES.)
You can build a cell in its own NIB file. An exercise I suggest if you've never done it.
Layout the size/location/resize functionality as you like it.
your table view controller can be the owner of the file,
add an outlet to the TV controller of loadedCell, and call load nib
every time you want to alloc a new cell,
i suggest tagging each of the cell labels, and accessing them
that way, and setting the loadedCell value to nil after loading it,
p.s. a UILabel often wraps text undesirably, or is hard to layout in a cell to look good, consider the other values of lineBreakMode for your labels
p.p.s. it will employ a text shortening behavior depending on adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth and minimumFontSize (taking this and lineBreakMode into consideration)

Best (Any) way blend tableview section header onto top of a grouped tableview

I'd like to add section headers to my grouped table view's sections but I'd like them to appear seamless (see image). The default, as we're all well aware of, is rounded top corners on the first row of a grouped table view cell so it ends up looking like crap when you merge them.
Any way to specify when indexPath.row = 0 that the UITableViewCell should use row style "middle" or something like that?
If not then what are my options? I guess I could scratch the section header and use Row 0 as a quasi-header then push my array data +1 to fill the rest of the table? I'd rather not roll my own from scratch...if possible.

"Crap" looks like this:

Don't do what you're doing, it's against HIG
Ok, ok, I'll tell you how to do it:
You're going to want to do your own cell background views. The default grouped one is not what you want.
When a tableview asks you for a cell, set its backgroundView and selectedBackgroundView to something that looks appropriate for its place in the tableview.
Usually, this means a UIImageView with the appropriate image, though you can go wild here with a custom view, but there are gotchas.
So in your case, you would do
if (indexPath.row > sectionRowCount - 1) {
//Not the last row
//Put in the middle background
} else {
//Put in the end background
}
Then you'll want a custom table section header, but that's pretty easy.
In your case, you probably won't have to worry about when there's just one row, so that makes things even easier.
Take a look at the tutorial here:
cocoa with love basically what you need is 3 different images. One for the top row, one for the bottom, and a 3rd for the middle rows.
You could also not use the section header, but instead use a custom cell as the first cell of the section. So when ([indexPath row] == 0), return a custom cell that is the "header" and then return the "regular" cells (offset by one row) for the rest. You'll also have to make adjustments to the numberOfRowsInSection function to return +1.
