I'm working on a UITable with allowsMultipleSelectionDuringEditing = true, then I get a circle and red checkmark in the table when it is editing:
The problem is, I need to customize the table view cell such that there are some background image for the cell, and I need a larger margin in the left side of the cell. I can customize the cell contentView for the content position, but are there a way I can customize the checkmark and circle position?
I could have implement a customize table view cell with my own multi selection logic and view, but are there a way I can do it with the built-in multi-select implementation? If not, would you recommend a idiomatic way to do it?
it is possible to change the position of the check mark,
Please make a Table View cell XIB and give it a background image and check mark image and a label ..
the hiding and the display of the check mark will be managed by the associated class of XIB.
it will work for you.
** All the best
To answer my own question, you cannot move the red checkmark and circle (editing control) with public API.
You can however, override the UITableViewCell layoutSubviews method. Inside it find the subview which is a "UITableViewCellEditControl", and modify its position as you wish.

I am working on a app which includes table cells. I want that when i swipe table cell it shows two options, first about that cell value and another for delete that value. How can i show that in a way that the cell value shows in half of cell and the options show in half of cell.
Thanks in advance.
There are an out of the box solution, called HHPanningTableViewCell. It does exactly what you need!
HHPanningTableViewCell is a UITableViewCell implementing "swipe to reveal" a drawer view. Such a view typically holds action buttons applying to the current row.
This library, SWTableViewCell, should help you:
https://github.com/CEWendel/SWTableViewCell
An easy-to-use UITableViewCell subclass that implements a swipeable content view which exposes utility buttons (similar to iOS 7 Mail Application)
You have to create a custom cell and override Apple's behavior which is swipe left to delete and then show your options. You can add gesture recognizer to the cell and on swipe to left animate the cell content view and animate in your option view or however you like it to be. I can write up an example code if you need.
I'm writing a dictionary app to study iOS and I've implemented a UITableView with the alphabet as section titles and an index of all the letters on the right side. It works perfectly, but is it possible for me to display the selected index in a box at the center of the screen? I'm looking at the UITableViewDelegate reference but can't see any methods I might override. Help?
You'd have to manually create a UIView that you put above the UITableView which then shows the letter or whatever you want to present. Make sure not to add it to the table view itself as it's a UIScrollView subclass and your view would be affected by its contentOffset.
When the user presses one index or moves his finger above it, this callback gets called:
-tableView:sectionForSectionIndexTitle:title atIndex:
Use it to change your view's contents and make it visible and set a timer for it to fade out again.
You have to create custom view that display when you click on the cell and in that view you can add Label to show the alphabet which you have selected.
And yes also if you want to display it on center of your screen than give its X and Y coordinates value according to it.hope it helps...
I have a UITableView with custom cells. The cells containing one UITextView each and the cell is resizing during user type text in the TextView. My problem is when user is on first row in a TextView autocorrection bubbles wont be visible in the current cell. Is there any workaround or can someone point me to another direction?

If the cell is resizing as the user types, you could set the minimum height of the edited cell to have enough height for the bubbles. Always measure the active cell as if there were at least two lines.
Each UIView has a clipsToBounds property that controls wether contents can be drawn outside the bounds. You might be able to set this to NO for all views in the hierarchy between the bubble and cell. This could have other side effects though.
Also, make sure the active cell has a higher Z order than neighboring cells. It could simply be that the next cell down is drawing over the bubble, as opposed to the active cell cropping the bubble.
I propose you a "workaround"
Your user try to edit a row in your table view
-> You present a modal view with a UITextView with dismiss and ok button.
I want to add a subview to the UITableCellView class. However, non of the provided views in the class seem to be able to do exactly what I was looking for.
I basically want to add my own background view, filling the whole cell. However, if I replace the backgroundView, the style from the grouped table view layout isn't displayed anymore. If I add a subview to backgroundView, the subview is not shown at all. If I add a subview to the contentView, I can't draw behind the accessory icon.
What am I missing?
Basically you can't change the backgorund of GroupedTable View.
Try using it with PlainTable.
and add the your backgroung image (of size = cellsize) to cellforRowAtIndex method.
You might want to take a look at this article:
"Easy custom UITableView Drawing"
In particular:
First: the UITableView does not itself
draw anything except the background.
To customize the background of a
UITableView, all you need to do is set
its backgroundColor to [UIColor
clearColor] and you can draw your own
background in a view behind the
UITableView.
Simply add the custom view as part of your contentView. Set a unique reuse identifier for that cell, configure it when you create it and from then on simply reset the data components (this is easiest to do if you create a custom cell controller class so that it can track all the parts and use setters/getters for the data).
In my iPhone application I have used (UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark) to add the checkmarks in the cells, - it is added to the cell at the right side of the cell.
I want the checkmarks to display in the middle of the cell and after that a string should display. So that the user can set the cell item as checked or unchecked.
Please provide any solution or any code for adding the (UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark) in the middle of the cell.
There is no built in way to do this. You will have to create a cell, then in tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: you will need to either add a custom subview, or return a custom cell and tell it to display the custom checkmark you added based on the data state.
The accessory view of the cell is always on the right side, outside of the cell's content view (see the Table View Programming Guide for more on this). If you want to do something like this, you really need to create your own cell class, and draw the checks yourself.
Speaking as a user, this design seems sort of confusing, and definitely not what I'd expect. What's the string you're displaying to the right of the check? Maybe something like the UITableViewCellStyleValue1 style cell would work, instead? (See Standard Styles for Table-View Cells for more.)
