UITableViewCell custom edit content - ios

Question

I'd like my cells to have not only the Delete button while editing but also others. So what is an actual way to do this? I've tried making own UIView object for editingAccessoryView property but the problem is being that the view appears only on direct edit (i.e. clicking Edit button in Navigation Bar) and completely ignores swipes across a cell. Also tableView:editActionsForRowAtIndexPath: method was given a try but didn't work, at least I didn't manage to figure out how to get what I want with its function. Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

You Try This Code
-(NSArray *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editActionsForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UITableViewRowAction *button = [UITableViewRowAction rowActionWithStyle:UITableViewRowActionStyleDefault title:#"Button 1" handler:^(UITableViewRowAction *action, NSIndexPath *indexPath)
{
NSLog(#"Action to perform with Button 1");
}];
button.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor]; //arbitrary color
UITableViewRowAction *button2 = [UITableViewRowAction rowActionWithStyle:UITableViewRowActionStyleDefault title:#"Button 2" handler:^(UITableViewRowAction *action, NSIndexPath *indexPath)
{
NSLog(#"Action to perform with Button2!");
}];
button2.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor]; //arbitrary color
return #[button, button2]; //array with all the buttons you want. 1,2,3, etc...
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
// you need to implement this method too or nothing will work:
}
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
return YES; //tableview must be editable or nothing will work...
}

Works in Swift as well.
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, editActionsForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> [AnyObject]? {
var completionButton = UITableViewRowAction(style: .Normal,
title: "Complete",
handler: {(action, index) in
/* Completion Code */
println("Complete")})
completionButton.backgroundColor = .lightGrayColor()
return [completionButton]
}

Also for iOS 11 you should use
- (UISwipeActionsConfiguration *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView leadingSwipeActionsConfigurationForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath - for right swipe
and
- (UISwipeActionsConfiguration *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView trailingSwipeActionsConfigurationForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath - for left swipe
For ex.:
- (UISwipeActionsConfiguration *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView trailingSwipeActionsConfigurationForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UIContextualAction* action = [UIContextualAction contextualActionWithStyle:UIContextualActionStyleNormal title:#"Title" handler:^(UIContextualAction * _Nonnull action, __kindof UIView * _Nonnull sourceView, void (^ _Nonnull completionHandler)(BOOL)) {
// Do something
completionHandler(YES);
}
UISwipeActionsConfiguration * actionsConfiguration = [UISwipeActionsConfiguration configurationWithActions:#[action]];
return actionsConfiguration;
}
