Don't allow cell to be moved to another section - iphone

How can I disable that the user can move cells to other sections? I don't want to show an alert each time ;)
Thanks :D

Implement the targetIndexPathForMoveFromRowAtIndexPath delegate method:
- (NSIndexPath *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
targetIndexPathForMoveFromRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)sourceIndexPath
toProposedIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)proposedDestinationIndexPath
{
if (proposedDestinationIndexPath.section != sourceIndexPath.section)
{
//keep cell where it was...
return sourceIndexPath;
}
//ok to move cell to proposed path...
return proposedDestinationIndexPath;
}

UITableview Edit/delate- cell's content goes out of screen

All,
I am using UITableview and trying to implement an edit/delete function.
When I call this line .
[tblStoreAvail setEditing:TRUE animated:TRUE];
The cell's content goes out of screen.
These functions are never called.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willBeginEditingRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didEndEditingRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
If you are using custuomTableViewCell implement the following method with your required frame for the label:
- (void)willTransitionToState:(UITableViewCellStateMask)state
{
[super willTransitionToState:state];
if(state == UITableViewCellStateDefaultMask)
{
[self.lblLocation setFrame:CGRectMake(13,22,302,21)];
}
else if(state == UITableViewCellStateShowingDeleteConfirmationMask)
{
[self.lblLocation setFrame:CGRectMake(13,22,245,21)];
}
else if(state == UITableViewCellStateShowingEditControlMask)
{
[self.lblLocation setFrame:CGRectMake(13,22,245,21)];
}
else
{
[self.lblLocation setFrame:CGRectMake(13,22,210,21)];
}
}
if you are using default TableViewCell then make sure to set delegate for tableView and do like below :
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
yourCustomCell *cell = (yourCustomCell *)[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
[cell.lblLocation setFrame:CGRectMake(13,22,302,21)];
return YES;
}
You've got two problems going on, Taimur.
1) you need to set the "delegate" of your table to whatever object (presumably your view controller) that holds those delegate methods. You can do this programmatically or via a connection in the XIB / storyboard.
2) if you're using a custom cell, you need to adjust the font sizes down to hold all the data you want to display.
If you're not using custom UITableViewCell objects to display the data in your table, then start to use them so you can get the formatting you really want to see.

Add "Swipe to delete" but not in all cells

I want to add in my tableview the possibility to "swipe to delete", but I don't want this for the last cell of the table!
I can check in - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath if the indexPath.row is the last one, but what I want is that if the user swipes on the last cell, nothing will appear (while in the others cells appears the text "delete").
I've tried this
-(NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForDeleteConfirmationButtonForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
if (indexPath.row != ([array count]-1)) {
return #"delete";
}
else {
NSString *a;
return a;
}
}
but of course it doesn't works (the app crashes).
I've tried with
return #"";
but the red button appears (with no text)!
What do you suggest me?
Thanks!
Try
- (UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if ([indexPath row] == [tableView numberOfRowsInSection:[indexPath section]] - 1)
{
return UITableViewCellEditingStyleNone;
}
return UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete;
}
The app crashes since you return an uninitialized pointer. But even then, you're doing it wrong ;-)
You want to implement tableView:editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath: and return UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete for all cells, except for the last. You need to return UITableViewCellEditingStyleNone for the last cell to prevent that it can be deleted.

move row inside a UITableView

I have a UITableView that contain 3 sections, It is possible in the edit mode to change the row position just inside his section and not to another section?Actually I can move the cell to any section.
Thanks
Many correct answers but no one presented a complete and well presented reply.
Use the table view delegate method tableView:targetIndexPathForMoveFromRowAtIndexPath:toProposedIndexPath: as shown below.
- (NSIndexPath *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView targetIndexPathForMoveFromRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)sourceIndexPath toProposedIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)proposedDestinationIndexPath
{
if (proposedDestinationIndexPath.section != sourceIndexPath.section)
{
return sourceIndexPath;
}
return proposedDestinationIndexPath;
}
Do not forget to do another check in your tableView:moveRowAtIndexPath:toIndexPath: data source method as shown below, you do not want to run your application logic when the destination is similar to the source.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView moveRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)sourceIndexPath toIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)destinationIndexPath
{
if(sourceIndexPath == destinationIndexPath)
{
return;
}
//application logic
}
If I understand your question correctly, then yes: use
- (NSIndexPath*) tableView: (UITableView*) tableView targetIndexPathForMoveFromRowAtIndexPath: (NSIndexPath*) sourceIndexPath toProposedIndexPath: (NSIndexPath*) proposedDestinationIndexPath
like Steven and Narayanan said, you have to implement the method
- (NSIndexPath *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView targetIndexPathForMoveFromRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)sourceIndexPath toProposedIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)proposedDestinationIndexPath
of your UITableView delegate.
In this method, you check the sourceIndexPath.section:
If it's the section you allow to be reordered, you return the proposedDestinationIndexPath.
If not, you return the sourceIndexPath so your tableView will not move the row.
I didn't write the code so you'll have the pleasure to practice instead of copy'n'paste ;)
(edit: adding list style for the options)
In
moveRowAtIndexPath:toIndexPath:
add this check:
if ( fromIndexPath.section != toIndexPath.section ) return; // prevent moving to another section.
Try this
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView moveRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)fromIndexPath toIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)toIndexPath {
if( fromIndexPath == toIndexPath ) {
return;
}

iPhone - How add a final line in a UITableView to add items, preventing rearranging of this line

I have a UITableView put in edited mode.
self.tableView.editing = YES;
In this table view, I have some lines displayed in a custom cell, and I'd like to add one at the end that would allow the user to add an item (using another view).
So I wrote some lines :
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return "number of lines" + 1;
}
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView shouldIndentWhileEditingRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
return YES;
}
- (UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
if(indexPath.row+1 != [tableView numberOfRowsInSection:0]) {
return UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete;
}
else {
return UITableViewCellEditingStyleInsert;
}
}
- (void) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
if (indexPath.row + 1 == [tableView numberOfRowsInSection:0]) {
cell.textLabel.text = #"Add a line...";
}
else {
do the stuff in the custom cell
}
}
Doing this way, the UITableView allows to rearrange any line. I can move the first line after the "add line", and move the "add line" in first position.
How may I remove the arrange button on the "add line" cell and prevent other lines to go under this one ?
Or is there a better way to code this ?
Implement
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canMoveRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
return ([indexPath row] != INDEX_OF_SPECIAL_ROW)
}
and
- (NSIndexPath *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
targetIndexPathForMoveFromRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)sourceIndexPath
toProposedIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)proposedDestinationIndexPath
{
if ([proposedDestinationIndexPath row] < NUMBER_OF_ROWS)
{
return proposedDestinationIndexPath;
}
NSIndexPath *otherPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:NUMBER_OF_ROWS-1 inSection:0];
return otherPath;
}
The much easier way would be to set a tableFooterView. You can place any UIView in there, so not only are you allowed to add a UITableViewCell but also a completely custom subclass. Doing it this way you will avoid all the unnecessary checks.
return UITableViewCellEditingStyleNone
For that row in - (UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
And check out – tableView:moveRowAtIndexPath:toIndexPath:

How to disable the delete button for the particular row when we are using the table view delegate method commitEditingStyle in Iphone sdk?

Here I need a help from ur side that Im using the tableview delegate method commitEditing sytle to get the delete button for every cell when we swipe.But my problem here is I dont want the delete button for the first row in the tableview and swipe should not work and I dnt have any idea how to implemet this.
Anyone's help will be much appreciated.
Thank You,
Monish.
UITableViewCell has delete style by default. To change that you need to implement tableView:editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath: method in your table view delegate. Return UITableViewCellEditingStyleNone for the 1st row and UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete for other rows.
Edit: Sorry for incomplete answer. You also need to implement tableView:canEditRowAtIndexPath: method (something like that):
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
return indexPath.row > 0;
}
Hope that'll work
- (UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if(condition check)
return UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete;
return UITableViewCellEditingStyleNone;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete) {
//here your code
}
}
