Edit animation UITableViewStyle like addressbook - iphone

Question

I need some help with UITableView. I'm looking for the best solution for creating edit table functionality. I have UITableViewController with data and two modes:
Edit mode: All fields (like first name, last name, phone, web page etc...)
View mode: Show only filed rows.
The difficult thing is to animate the rows when a user clicks the edit button.
I want the same animation we have in the address book app on iPhone.

Answer 1

Something like this in simple.
//original position and maybe hidden
someView.frame = CGRect(0,0,0,0);
someView.alpha = 0.0f;
[someView setHidden:YES];
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.3];
//what you want it comes out finally, changed position and visible
[someView setHidden:NO];
someView.frame = CGRect(100.0f,100.0f,0,0);
someView.alpha = 1.0f;
[UIView commitAnimations];

Answer 2

Use
[tableView setEditing: YES animated: YES];
to make the UItableView in editing mode.Which give you show and hide the button when you swipe on the row.if your animation is something please let me know.

I have solution!
Help from this article
So you need add something like this (thanks Sandy)
- (void)setEditing:(BOOL)editing animated:(BOOL)animated{
[super setEditing:editing animated:animated];
NSArray *paths = [NSArray arrayWithObject:
[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:1 inSection:0]];
if (editing) {
[[self tableView] insertRowsAtIndexPaths:paths
withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationTop];
}else {
[[self tableView] deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:paths
withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationTop];
}
}
After that
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
will be colled, and you can edit list of cells and their appearance.

Answer 4

in the case below, I have 2 sections, first section contains a series of settings, first row is a default setting, always there and can't be reordered, and second one contains just one row like 'Add...', editing is only for reordering and deleting so in edit mode I remove the first setting, and remove the 2nd section, and it animates smoothly if you club all your insert/delete within a beginUpdates/endUpdates on the tableview. So for you it would be just the opposite, adding more rows/sections when editing
In Normal mode I have :
Countries (<-- 1st section)
- World
- Argentina
- USA
(<-- 2nd section)
- Add Countries...
In Edit mode I have :
Countries (<-- 1st section)
- Argentina = (can be removed/reordered)
- USA = (can be removed/reordered)
Code looks like:
- (void)setEditing:(BOOL)editing animated:(BOOL)animated
{
[super setEditing:editing animated:animated];
NSArray *paths = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0],
nil];
[self.tableView beginUpdates]; // Club all updates together
if (editing)
{
if( [[CCPollSettings countryCodes] count] < 2) // No country setting
// Remove complete section
[self.tableView deleteSections:[NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndex:0] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
else // Remove first default row
[self.tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:paths withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
// Remove 'Add...' Section
[self.tableView deleteSections:[NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndex:1] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
// .... Do more stuff after
} else {
if( [[CCPollSettings countryCodes] count] < 2) // No country setting yet
[self.tableView insertSections:[NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndex:0] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
else // add back default row
[self.tableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:paths withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
// Add back 'Add...' Section
[self.tableView insertSections:[NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndex:1] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
}
[self.tableView endUpdates]; // Club all updates together
}
