custom size of UITableviewCell's delete button - iphone

Question

I'm trying to resize UITableView cell's delete button with this code but for some reason, the x & y are working fine but i'm unable to change the height & width of the delete button. I'm using this code in my custom UITableViewCell class and everything works fine excel the width & hight of the "Delete" button.
what am i missing here?
- (void)layoutSubviews
{
[super layoutSubviews];
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationBeginsFromCurrentState:YES];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.0f];
for (UIView *subview in self.subviews) {
if ([NSStringFromClass([subview class]) isEqualToString:#"UITableViewCellDeleteConfirmationControl"]) {
CGRect newFrame = subview.frame;
newFrame.origin.x = 250;
newFrame.origin.y = 47;
newFrame.size.height = 30;
newFrame.size.width = 50;
deleteButtonView.frame = newFrame;
subview.frame = newFrame;
}
}
[UIView commitAnimations];}

Answer 1

use this code...
if ([NSStringFromClass([subview class]) isEqualToString:#"UITableViewCellDeleteConfirmationControl"]) {
UIView *deleteButtonView = (UIView *)[subview.subviews objectAtIndex:0];
CGRect f = deleteButtonView.frame;
f.origin.x = 250;
f.origin.y = 47;
f.size.width = 30;
f.size.height = 50;
CGRect sf = self.frame;
sf.size.width = 100;
sf.size.height = 100;
deleteButtonView.frame = f;
self.frame = sf;
}

Use this code in your custom Cell class
-(void)layoutSubviews
{
NSMutableArray *subviews = [self.subviews mutableCopy];
UIView *subV = subviews[0];
[subviews removeObjectAtIndex:0];
CGRect f = subV.frame;
f.size.height = 70; // Here you set height of Delete button
subV.frame = f;
}

Answer 3

Find the "UITableViewCellDeleteConfirmationView" in the UITableviewCell for changing the delete button height.
Use this code in your custom cell class
- (void)layoutSubviews {
[super layoutSubviews];
NSMutableArray *subviews = [self.subviews mutableCopy];
while (subviews.count > 0)
{
UIView *subV = subviews[0];
[subviews removeObjectAtIndex:0];
if ([NSStringFromClass([subV class])isEqualToString:#"UITableViewCellDeleteConfirmationView"])//Here you select the subView of delete button {
UIView *deleteButtonView = (UIView *)[self.subviews objectAtIndex:0];
CGRect buttonFrame = deleteButtonView.frame;
buttonFrame.origin.x = deleteButtonView.frame.origin.x;
buttonFrame.origin.y = deleteButtonView.frame.origin.y;
buttonFrame.size.width = deleteButtonView.frame.size.width;
buttonFrame.size.height = 70; //Here you set the height
deleteButtonView.frame = buttonFrame;
}
}
}

You can also do it using constraints ( working on iOS 8.x +).
That way the animations (delete button animation especially) stay neat / no UI glitch.
In your UITableViewCell subclass :
Declare a weak property in your class anonymous category :
#property (weak, nonatomic) UIView *lastDeleteConfirmationView;
Disable translating of autoresizing mask constraints and add your own constraints :
- (void)layoutSubviews {
[super layoutSubviews];
[self addConstraintsToCellDeleteConfirmationView];
}
- (void)addConstraintsToCellDeleteConfirmationView {
UIView *deleteConfirmationView = nil;
for (UIView *subview in self.subviews) {
if ([NSStringFromClass(subview.class) isEqualToString:#"UITableViewCellDeleteConfirmationView"]) {
deleteConfirmationView = subview;
break;
}
}
if (deleteConfirmationView && self.lastDeleteConfirmationView != deleteConfirmationView) {
self.lastDeleteConfirmationView = deleteConfirmationView;
self.lastDeleteConfirmationView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO;
[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self.customBackgroundView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTop relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.lastDeleteConfirmationView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTop multiplier:1.0f constant:0.0f].active = YES;
[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self.customBackgroundView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeHeight relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.lastDeleteConfirmationView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeHeight multiplier:1.0f constant:0.0f].active = YES;
[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:self.lastDeleteConfirmationView attribute:NSLayoutAttributeRight relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:self.lastDeleteConfirmationView.superview attribute:NSLayoutAttributeRight multiplier:1.0f constant:0.0f].active = YES;
}
}

SWIFT
override func layoutSubviews() in CustomTableViewCell: UITableViewCell
override func layoutSubviews() {
for subview in self.subviews {
if String(describing: type(of: subview.self)).isEqualToString("UITableViewCellDeleteConfirmationView") {
var newFrame = subview.frame
newFrame.origin.y = 10
newFrame.size.height = 60
subview.frame = newFrame
}
}
}
