I have a UITableViewController displaying dynamic table data with an additional row at the end (using a separate cell prototype) containing an 'Add' button.
I'd like for users to be able to re-order the table rows but prevent them from moving a row to a point after the last row.
I've implemented:
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, canMoveRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> Bool {
return indexPath.row != elements.count
}
To prevent users moving the 'Add' table row
and am also testing for
if(toIndexPath.row < library.regularTasks.count)
inside
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, moveRowAtIndexPath fromIndexPath: NSIndexPath, toIndexPath: NSIndexPath)
which prevents the rows being swapped in the model.
However I can't see a way to prevent the rows being dragged beyond the last row in the UI
Found it!
I used:
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, targetIndexPathForMoveFromRowAtIndexPath sourceIndexPath: NSIndexPath, toProposedIndexPath proposedDestinationIndexPath: NSIndexPath) -> NSIndexPath {
// Test whether destination is allowed
if(proposedDestinationIndexPath.row < elements.count){
return proposedDestinationIndexPath // if allowed move to proposed destination
}else{
return sourceIndexPath // if not, send back to where it came from!
}
}

I have implemented two custom cells in the tableview.Now I want to replace these two custom cells with one another. How to achieve this?
Implement following tableview methods and write your code in it
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, canMoveRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool {
// return boolean value for a specific or all cells, you want to enable movement
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, moveRowAt sourceIndexPath: IndexPath, to destinationIndexPath: IndexPath) {
// Handle array element movement along with your row/cell
}

If you would like to reorder rows in UITableView. Take a look at two delegates that are implemented in the UITableView.
They are: tableView:canMoveRowAtIndexPath: and moveRowAtIndexPath:toIndexPath:.
Also take a look at tutorial that show how it is possible to implement.
Along with tableview delegates, use moveRow(at: <IndexPath>, to: <IndexPath>), to move your row programatically (automatically), without user interaction.
tblTabel.moveRow(at: <IndexPath>, to: <IndexPath>)
// Tableview Delegates
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, canMoveRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool {
// return boolean value for a specific or all cells, you want to enable movement
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, moveRowAt sourceIndexPath: IndexPath, to destinationIndexPath: IndexPath) {
// Handle array element movement along with your row/cell
}
I'm new to iOS, swift. I have two sections in my tableView. I want to be able to do a longPressGesture on the second section, and not the first, enabling the user to reorder tableview cells in the second section. How would I do that in swift? Would anyone kindly provide a simple sample code in Swift?
Thanks for your help, much appreciated!
If you just want to reorder move the cell for the particular you may add some button/action to enable/disable reorder , there is delegate which you can use
Your code can be like this:
//enable editing in the tableview to true when you want to enable reorder in your case may on the UILongPressGestureRecognizer action
//In viewDidLoad()
tblView.editing = true//set it to false to complete the reorder
The delegate methods can be use like this:
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCellEditingStyle {
return UITableViewCellEditingStyle.None
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, moveRowAtIndexPath fromIndexPath: NSIndexPath, toIndexPath: NSIndexPath) {
//get the reorder change in the path, you can do operation on the array
let itemToMove:String = arrData[fromIndexPath.row]//get the old path of item
arrData.removeAtIndex(fromIndexPath.row)//remove item from old path
arrData.insert(itemToMove, atIndex: toIndexPath.row)//at item at new path in array
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, canMoveRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> Bool {
//write code to allow reorder in the particular section/indexpath
if indexPath.section == 0 {
return false
} else {
return true
}
// Return false if you do not want the item to be re-orderable.
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, targetIndexPathForMoveFromRowAtIndexPath sourceIndexPath: NSIndexPath, toProposedIndexPath proposedDestinationIndexPath: NSIndexPath) -> NSIndexPath {
//check if the reorder is allow in the particular section/indexpath before the reorder is done, return the old path if you don't want to move at Proposed path
if sourceIndexPath.section != proposedDestinationIndexPath.section {
return sourceIndexPath
} else {
return proposedDestinationIndexPath
}
}
the UILongPressGestureRecognizer can be implemented on the tableview or the tableview cell based on the requirements
let longpress = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target:self, action:#selector(HomeScreenTableViewController.longPressGestureRecognized))
tblView.addGestureRecognizer(longpress)
func longPressGestureRecognized() {
NSLog("Detected")
tblView.editing = true
}
or in tableview cell with same method as above
let longpress = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target:self, action:#selector(HomeScreenTableViewController.longPressGestureRecognized))
cell.addGestureRecognizer(longpress)
I am trying to learn Swift, but there is a problem in my project that drives me nuts.
I have a working list of data in a ViewController fed by parse.com. I managed to implement a swipe-feature that reveals buttons for both deleting and editing. That is working fine. Now I want the user to be able to reorder the cells. So I successfully implemented a button to put the table into editing-mode. My 2 problems with that are:
When I enter edit-mode I just want to be able to reorder the cells since editing and deleting is done via swipe (via "tableView(tableView: UITableView, editActionsForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath)". How can I achive that the user doesn't see the 2 buttons for deleting and editing when in editing-mode and touching the delete-circle that is provided automatically?
Is it possible to remove the delete-circle altogether? Using "UITableViewCellEditingStyle.None" also disables the swipe-functionality.
Thanks in advance!
To avoid the round red delete button that appears when you put set UITableView isEditing to true at the left and does nothing when you click it, the minimum that worked for me was this (Swift 4, iOS 11)
// Avoid the round red delete button on the left of the cell:
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, shouldIndentWhileEditingRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool {
return false
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, editingStyleForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCellEditingStyle {
return .none
}
I also have these functions, which probably interact:
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, canEditRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool {
return savedTempTable.isEditing
}
// Including this function in the delegate enable left-swipe deleting
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, commit editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath)
{
if editingStyle == .delete {
savedConversions.remove(at: indexPath.row)
}
}
// Including this function enables reordering
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, moveRowAt sourceIndexPath: IndexPath,to destinationIndexPath: IndexPath)
{
let elem = savedConversions.remove(at: sourceIndexPath.row)
savedConversions.insert(elem, at: destinationIndexPath.row)
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, editingStyleForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCellEditingStyle {
return .none
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, shouldIndentWhileEditingRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool {
return false
}
Although people can delete a row through swipe the delete-button in editing mode should not be removed. People may not know about the swipe gesture and by removing the delete button (which they already expect in editing mode) the app becomes more difficult to use.
If you really want to remove the delete button then you have to implement the delegate method tableView(_:editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:). There you can return .None while the screen is in editing mode and .Delete while the screen is not.
To enable reordering you have to implement the data source methods tableView(_:canMoveRowAtIndexPath:) and tableView(_:moveRowAtIndexPath:toIndexPath:).
You follow this way to remove the delete Icon while editing:
-(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
return UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
}
I am trying to figure out how to reorder my Tableview of parse objects and get them to stay.
I can get the tableview items to move around, but the order doesn't save and reverts back to the original order as soon as I leave the Viewcontroller and go back. I have the tableview being populated from a query every time it loads.
I need to figure out how to save the new index order back to parse. I'm not sure how to do that. Here is some of the code I'm working with... or the lack there of.
I have seen people rearrange a static array, but I haven't found information on rearranging a dynamic parse query.
var thisArray:[PFObject] = [PFObject]()
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, canMoveRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> Bool {
return true
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, moveRowAtIndexPath sourceIndexPath: NSIndexPath, toIndexPath destinationIndexPath: NSIndexPath) {
//How do I rearrange the parse objects on the backend?
}
Some rows in my UITableView needs to delete and move in edit mode, but some just move.
In this method I can enable or disable editing for some rows
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, canEditRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> Bool{
return true
}
But how to disable delete for some rows with enabled move?
Return .None for editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCellEditingStyle {
return .None
}
