delete tableView data after clicking button on cell IOS - ios

Question

I need to delete a row in my tableview to update my changes.
I have a delete button in each cell (tableViewCellController) - look at the picture.
Screenshot
After I click the delete button, the UI button method calls the delegated method in tableViewController. The delete method update the data source (my model) and i want to update also the screen (now the method reload all the data, but I want to update the new change - delete row from screen).
I tried to do this with the following function but i don't have a sender (as i said the button is pressed in the cell, but I actually make the change on the tableView)
Function:
- (IBAction)contactDelete:(id)sender{
[[[ModelUser instance] getUser:self.actualLoggedUser] removeFavUser:self.contactUserId];
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForCell:(UITableViewCell *)sender.superview];
[self.tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:
[NSArray arrayWithObject:indexPath]
withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
}
favoritesTableViewCell:
#import "favoritesTableViewCell.h"
#import "ModelUser.h"
#implementation favoritesTableViewCell
- (void)awakeFromNib {
// Initialization code
}
- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated {
[super setSelected:selected animated:animated];
// Configure the view for the selected state
}
- (IBAction)favoritesDeleteFromFav:(id)sender {
[[[ModelUser instance] getUser:self.actualLoggedUser] removeFavUser:self.contactUserId];
[self.delegate onFavDeleteClick];
}
favoritesTableViewController:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.actualLoggedUser = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"2"];
[self reloadData];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
- (void)reloadData {
NSLog(#"Favorites tab was loaded");
//get id of my favorite contacts
myFavListId = [[ModelUser instance] getUser:self.actualLoggedUser].contactsFavoriteList;
//get data of my favorites contacts
myFavListContactsData = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for (int i=0; i < [myFavListId count] ; i++) {
User* us = [[ModelUser instance] getUser:([myFavListId objectAtIndex:i])];
[myFavListContactsData addObject:us];
}
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
#pragma mark - Table view data source
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
// Return the number of sections.
return 1;
}
- (void) viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[self reloadData];
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
// Return the number of rows in the section.
return myFavListContactsData.count;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
favoritesTableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"favoriteCell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
User *us = [myFavListContactsData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
//setting cell data
cell.actualLoggedUser = self.actualLoggedUser;
cell.contactUserId = us.userId;
cell.contactName.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# %#",us.fname,us.lname];
[cell.contactImage setImage: [UIImage imageNamed:us.imageName]];
cell.delegate = self;
return cell;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
User *us = [myFavListContactsData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
UIStoryboard* sb = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil];
userDetailsProfile* udVC = [sb
instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"userDetailsProfile"];
udVC.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
udVC.userDetailId = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", us.userId];
[self showViewController:udVC sender:self];
}
- (void)onFavDeleteClick {
[self reloadData];
}
#end

You need to update datasource and delete the cell in your delegate callback that is invoked from your cell class (onFavDeleteClick delegate method of favoritesTableViewCell class, in your case).
The process should be something like this:
In your "favoritesTableViewCell.h", declare a protocol containing onFavDeleteClick method. I think you have already done with this step. What you need to do is to update the method signature as -(void) onFavDeleteClick:(favoritesTableViewCell*)cell.
From "favoritesTableViewCell.m" call favoritesDeleteFromFav method like this:
-(IBAction)favoritesDeleteFromFav:(id)sender {
[self.delegate onFavDeleteClick:self];
}
Now in your view controller where the main UITableView exists implement the callback method like this:
-(void)onFavDeleteClick:(favoritesTableViewCell*)cell {
//update model
[[[ModelUser instance] getUser:self.actualLoggedUser] removeFavUser:self.contactUserId];
//update table view
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForCell:cell];
if (indexPath) {
[self.tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:#[indexPath]
withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationAutomatic];
}
}
And this is everything you need to do to get your desired effect.
