I have an Edit button in my navigation bar, and I have an table view.
My edit button calls an -editAction method.
And then, I have this piece of code to delete a cell, but I don't know how I can make the edit button to call this code...or how the edit button can let the table view display those red delete circles for every cell, which then trigger this:
// Override to support editing the table view.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete) {
// Delete the managed object at the given index path
NSManagedObject *eventToDelete = [eventsArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[managedObjectContext deleteObject:eventToDelete];
// Update Event objects array and table view
[eventsArray removeObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObject:indexPath] withRowAnimation:YES];
// Commit the change
NSError *error;
if (![managedObjectContext save:&error]) {
// Handle the error
}
}
}
According to the UITableView class reference docs, the code:
tableView.editing = YES;
Should put the table into editing mode and display those red delete circles. Then when the user deletes a cell your data source method should be called.
You can also use [tableView setEditing:YES animated:YES]; for an animated effect
In your view controller's -viewDidLoad method add the Edit button:
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;
This button will toggle the controller's editing mode, sending it -setEditing:animated:

I've in my tableview i've
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;
clicking on the minus button shows Delete button. I want to know how to give an action to this Delete button.
Tableview shows a list of items from sqlite database.I'm using Xcode 4.2
The delete button is already linked to your table view, and tapping it will send tableView:commitEditingStyle:forRowAtIndexPath: to your table view's data source. You do your deletion here.
This method is normally included in the template for UITableViewController subclasses.
If you look in to the UITableViewDataSource Protocol Reference you will find in there tableView:commitEditingStyle:forRowAtIndexPath:.
Asks the data source to commit the insertion or deletion of a
specified row in the receiver.
In this method you will get the index path for the cell to delete. You have to remove the corespondent element in four data source. And you also need to remove the table view cell.
[tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObject:indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
When you press delete button it will automatically call this delegate method of UITableView:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:( UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath.
{
// Check if it's a delete button or edit button...
if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete)
{
// Update the array and table view.
[eventsArray removeObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObject:indexPath] withRowAnimation:YES];
// Commit the change.
NSError *error;
if (![managedObjectContext save:&error])
{
// Handle the error.
}
}
}
Implement tableView:commitEditingStyle:forRowAtIndexPath: in your table view data source (presumably your table view controller). See the docs on that method, or any of several Apple sample code projects (including what you get from the Xcode "master-detail app" template) for details & example usage.
I would add that you should make sure you are reloading the table data so it can update on the screen. Otherwise it will look like it didn't do anything.
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
[self.myMutableArray removeObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
I have facing problem is that Is there any way to change default frame
of delete button in UITableView and one more thing is that delete button is always display in center of cell of UITableViewcell so any way to change frame of delete button.
// Update the data model according to edit actions delete or insert.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)aTableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle
forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete)
{
[appDelegate.categories removeObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[categoryTableView reloadData];
}
}
#pragma mark Row reordering
// Determine whether a given row is eligible for reordering or not.
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canMoveRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
return YES;
}
// Process the row move. This means updating the data model to correct the item indices.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView moveRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)fromIndexPath
toIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)toIndexPath
{
NSString *item = [[appDelegate.categories objectAtIndex:fromIndexPath.row] retain];
[appDelegate.categories removeObject:item];
[appDelegate.categories insertObject:item atIndex:toIndexPath.row];
[item release];
}
Thanks in advance.
in ios 6.1 i was not able to use the above code. I've seen several answers that suggests subclassing the cell class and providing a custom -willTransitionToState. Changing the subview/buttonview frame does not affectively change it's displayed position.
However if you override the layoutSubviews method it will work. Here is the code:
//below i moved the delete button to the left by 10 points. This is because my custom tableview has lef
- (void)layoutSubviews
{
[super layoutSubviews];
for(UIView *subview in self.subviews)
{
if([NSStringFromClass([subview class]) isEqualToString:#"UITableViewCellDeleteConfirmationControl"])
{
CGPoint o = subview.center;
subview.center = CGPointMake(o.x - 10, o.y);
}
}
}
You can use your own view by setting the cell's editingAccessoryView property. This can have whatever frame you like, though you'll need to supply a gradient if you want it to look like the standard delete button.
In the xib file of your custom cell, add a new button of whatever size you like (as long as it is smaller than the cell!). This button should not be a subview of your cell, but a separate item in the file.
Connect this button to the editingAccessoryView outlet of your cell and it will replace the standard delete button.
In my app I need to delete multiple rows in a table, edit the table and get a check box beside the table. When checked then the table cells are deleted. It is like the iPhone message app. How can I do this, please help me.
If I understand your question correctly, you essentially want to mark UITableViewCells in some way (a checkmark); then, when the user taps a master "Delete" button, all marked UITableViewCells are deleted from the UITableView along with their corresponding data source objects.
To implement the checkmark portion, you might consider toggling between UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark and UITableViewCellAccessoryNone for the UITableViewCell's accessory property. Handle touches in the following UITableViewController delegate method:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UITableViewCell *c = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
if (c.accessoryType == UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark) {
[c setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryNone];
}
//else do the opposite
}
You might also look at this post regarding custom UITableViewCells if you're wanting a more complex checkmark.
You can set up a master "Delete" button two ways:
The IB approach
The programmatic approach
In either case, eventually a method must be called when the master "Delete" button is pressed. That method just needs to loop through the UITableViewCells in the UITableView and determined which ones are marked. If marked, delete them. Assuming just one section:
NSMutableArray *cellIndicesToBeDeleted = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for (int i = 0; i < [tableView numberOfRowsInSection:0]; i++) {
NSIndexPath *p = [NSIndexPath indexPathWithIndex:i];
if ([[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:p] accessoryType] ==
UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark) {
[cellIndicesToBeDeleted addObject:p];
/*
perform deletion on data source
object here with i as the index
for whatever array-like structure
you're using to house the data
objects behind your UITableViewCells
*/
}
}
[tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:cellIndicesToBeDeleted
withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationLeft];
[cellIndicesToBeDeleted release];
Assuming by "edit" you mean "delete a single UITableViewCell" or "move a single UITableViewCell," you can implement the following methods in the UITableViewController:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// This line gives you the Edit button that automatically comes with a UITableView
// You'll need to make sure you are showing the UINavigationBar for this button to appear
// Of course, you could use other buttons/#selectors to handle this too
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;
}
// Override to support conditional editing of the table view.
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
// Return NO if you do not want the specified item to be editable.
return YES;
}
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canMoveRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
return YES;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete) {
//perform similar delete action as above but for one cell
}
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView moveRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)fromIndexPath toIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)toIndexPath {
//handle movement of UITableViewCells here
//UITableView cells don't just swap places; one moves directly to an index, others shift by 1 position.
}
You can put 1 UIButton lets call it "EDIT" and wire up it to IBAction. In IBAction write so you will be able to do as per your requirement.
-(IBAction)editTableForDeletingRow
{
[yourUITableViewNmae setEditing:editing animated:YES];
}
This will add round red buttons on the left hand corner and you can click on that Delete button will appear click on that and row will be deleted.
You can implement delegate method of UITableView as following.
-(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView: (UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath: (NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
//Do needed stuff here. Like removing values from stored NSMutableArray or UITableView datasource
}
Hope it helps.
you want to be looking for deleteRowsAtIndexPath, with all your code squeezed between [yourTable beginUpdates] & [yourTable endUpdates];
I can't figure out why my tableView isn't updating after I tap the delete button.
Once I click it, the table view "freezes". If I click another row, so that the tableview goes to another level of the hierarchy and click back, I can see that the item has been deleted and everything works fine.
Here is my code:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
//[tableView beginUpdates];
if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete)
{
// Do whatever data deletion you need to do...
[tableView beginUpdates];
NSManagedObject *obj = (NSManagedObject *)[entityArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[managedObjectContext deleteObject:obj];
NSError *error;
[managedObjectContext save:&error];
// Delete the row from the data source
[tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:indexPath, nil] withRowAnimation:YES];
[self viewWillAppear:YES];
}
//[tableView endUpdates];
}
Any input on this problem would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Found same issue and stumbled upon this thread. But the reason for the tableview freeze issue was different in our case.
For the sake of posterity:
The UITableViewCell which goes into Edit mode to display the "insert" or "delete" buttons should never have its userInteractionEnabled property set to "NO".
By correcting this, the same tableview freezing issue was fixed for us.
I can't see a call to [tableView endUpdates] matching the [tableView beginUpdates] that is at start of the if.
Could it be for this reason that your table freezes?
My table is populated with data from a sql DB. When I click on edit I can delete rows and the entry in the DB, but when I click on Done nothing happens.
To implement deleting I use commitEditingStyle:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete) {
//Get the object to delete from the array
buddies *buddyObj = [appDelegate.buddiesArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[appDelegate removeBuddy:buddyObj];
//Delete the object from the table.
[self.tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObject:indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
}
I have another table in this app and Edit/Done works fine.
The table with editing working is the first table showed when app starts, the non working table is called clicking on second item of a tabbar.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Max
Check that delegate is set properly.
