Hiding buttons on a UITableViewCell - ios

Question

I have two UIButtons on each UITableViewCell and I'm basically trying to set both of the buttons to hide when one or the other is pressed. The only thing I found online are just about using .tag to record a press.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString * indentifer = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:indentifer forIndexPath:indexPath];
// Configure the cell...
cell.textLabel.text = [self.random objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
UIButton * acecept = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
acecept.frame = CGRectMake(cell.bounds.origin.x + 200, cell.bounds.origin.y + 20 , 50, 30);
[acecept setTitle: #"Yes" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[acecept addTarget:self action:#selector(waffles:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
acecept.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[cell.contentView addSubview:acecept];
self.deny = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
_deny.frame = CGRectMake(cell.bounds.origin.x + 250, cell.bounds.origin.y + 20 , 50, 30);
[_deny setTitle: #"no" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[_deny addTarget:self action:#selector(cereal:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
_deny.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[cell.contentView addSubview:_deny];
UIButton * button = (UIButton *) acecept;
button.tag = button.tag+1;
/* if (acecept.hidden) {
[_deny setHidden:YES];
} */
return cell;
}
This is how I'm hiding them once they are pressed:
-(IBAction) waffles:(id)sender {
NSLog(#"waffles");
UIButton * button = (UIButton *) sender;
button.tag = button.tag+1;
NSLog(#"%ld", (long)button.tag);
waff = button.tag;
[sender setHidden:YES];
if(sender.hidden == YES){
[self.deny setHidden:YES];
}
}
-(IBAction)cereal:(id)sender{
NSLog(#"cereal");
[sender setHidden:YES];
}
I've tried multiple if statements and tagging the button. I think I need to somehow get the number of the cell view at which one of the button is pressed at, then place that in each IBAction.

I have made changes in your code..
Check below code
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString * indentifer = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:indentifer forIndexPath:indexPath];
// Configure the cell...
cell.textLabel.text = [self.random objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
UIButton * acecept = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
acecept.frame = CGRectMake(cell.bounds.origin.x + 200, cell.bounds.origin.y + 20 , 50, 30);
[acecept setTitle: #"Yes" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[acecept addTarget:self action:#selector(waffles:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
acecept.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
acecept.tag = 1;
[cell.contentView addSubview:acecept];
UIButton * deny = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
deny.frame = CGRectMake(cell.bounds.origin.x + 250, cell.bounds.origin.y + 20 , 50, 30);
[deny setTitle: #"no" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[deny addTarget:self action:#selector(cereal:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
deny.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
deny.tag = 2;
[cell.contentView addSubview:_deny];
return cell;
}
-(IBAction) waffles:(id)sender {
NSLog(#"waffles");
UIButton *aceceptBtn = (UIButton *) sender;
[aceceptBtn setHidden:YES];
UIButton *denyBtn = [aceceptBtn.superview viewWithTag:2];
[denyBtn setHidden:YES];
}
-(IBAction)cereal:(id)sender{
NSLog(#"cereal");
UIButton *denyBtn = (UIButton *) sender;
[denyBtn setHidden:YES];
UIButton *aceceptBtn = [denyBtn.superview viewWithTag:1];
[aceceptBtn setHidden:YES];
}

Answer 2

The approach that you are using is not right.
You need to create a custom tableview cell with two buttons.
And in that cell's .m class, you can write IBActions for those two buttons.
And in those IBActions, you can hide both the buttons.

In .h declares buttons in this way (with an Outlet)
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *buttonOne;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *buttonTwo;
In .m:
-(IBAction)presentPrincipalViewController:(id)sender {
[self.buttonOne setHidden:YES];
[self.buttonTwo setHidden:YES];
}
if you want to hide all buttons:
-(IBAction)presentPrincipalViewController:(id)sender {
for (UIButton* someButton in self.view.subviews) {
[someButton setHidden:YES];
}
}
