I currently have a 'tableview' with a list of items and I have enabled an 'edit' button to go into edit mode which shows the 'reordering controls' on the right side of the screen. I have also enabled 'canMoveRowAtIndexPath' and 'moveRowAtIndexPath:toIndexPath' to allow for the user to hold and drag the reorder control on the right side to reorder the list and have the data model update.
Is there a way to enable this but allow the user to click and drag the whole cell and not only the 'reorder controller'? Essentially I want to enlarge the area of the reorder controller's function to the whole cell when tableview is in editing mode.
for anyone else who is interested, I used this guide to get it working: b2cloud
the starting code template does not work as optimally since it has nib files and I'm using Xcode5 but it still works. The important code is all in the actualy tutorial as he lists how to set the reorder control to the size of the size via inserting it as a subview.
There is a way to enable this that allow the user to click and drag the whole cell and not only the 'reorder controller'!

This might be helpful to you, Sir :)

I got an application with an internal Role system. Based on the current role the user is able to see more settings. For each setting i got a ViewCell. So in my case i want to hide the special settings in the beginning and show them if the user has the right to do so.
Unfortunately ViewCell doesn't have a Opacity attribute, so i set my TableView to HasUnevenRows="true" and changed the size of the specific cells to Height="0". Now in code behind, if the User has the right to see the Cell, this is what i call:
PumpCell.Height = 42;
PumpCell.ForceUpdateSize();
This "unhides" the cell which is exactly what i want to do, but in the first place the Layout inside (I got an StackLayout nested inside an AbsoluteLayout) is hidden until the Cell is Tapped (see below)
Anyone has an idea to fix this? I even would be fine with manually invoking a Tap on the cell, but i haven't found a way yet to do so.
Thanks in advance
#Elias Johannes, I think you are using the listview, List view is having the issues while dealing with increase the cell size at runtime. Instead of Listview use the Repeater view.
Here is the link for sample,

Prepare your datatemplate with the additional settings will be IsVisible=false at initial time and when the user clicks on it, take the current item instance and make it ISVisible=true through binding.
I am building an app that uses a side menu, within that side menu is a UITableView displaying some text. When you click on one of those, it takes you to another ViewController. I searched the internet for it but didn't find something useful. My question is: how to make a "submenu" inside the tableview, so that when you click on it, it needs to dropdown and show more options.
I don't have any idea how to do this, so a little help would be really appreciated!
Thanks
You may use sections for building a submenu structure. You can overwrite viewForHeaderInSection for each section for which you don't want to display the section header and return an empty UIView object with a size of (0.0, 0.0) or even null. (I never tried returning null/nil myself.)
For each menu on the highest level you have exactly one corresponding section and each of them has just one row. They may or may not have header views.
For the menu that you want to display as submenu you set the header view of the related section accordingly and then have one row for each item of the submenu.
Unfortunately this allows for a 2-level menu heirachry only. But on the upside everything you need is already sort of build-in into cocoa touch.
Perhaps this could possibly help you achieve what you are looking for:
Expandable Sections UITableView IndexPath SWIFT
You may have to have a good look through the code but it should set you on the right track.
By default edit mode is on, that's why swipe on cell, it will delete like this, and when click on edit following method use to delete the data
Right now it works correctly but either one of them is going to use. I want to use both method for delete cell.
Please help me to find some code snippet or tutorial link
The natural iOS behaviour for Edit mode in a UITableView is just showing the '-' button for deletion, thats the way I recommend you to use, because of the users are use to deleting on that way.
With this library, you can assign custom buttons and actions for both Swipe directions. Maybe with it you can achieve what you want.

I would try to add a custom right UIBarButton with a custom action, and after it get pressed, you can try to force swiping the cell to both directions, and showing the buttons you want.
I need to be able to disable the keypad in a textfield, and instead when the user taps on it to start editing, a new table view will appear presenting a list of possible strings with which the textfield should be filled.
Anyone has any suggestions on how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance
p.s. I tried already but this functionality cannot be nicely implemented with a picker in my case, as there are too many options to choose from and (more importantly) each one of them is a rather long string and cannot appear entirely in a picker.
I believe you just need a regular cell that, when tapped, pushes a new detail UITableViewController with all the options to choose from. Once an option is chosen, set the cell's textLabel to whatever option have been selected.
If you'd like to go for an easier path, then you should also probably check the free Sensible TableView framework, as it has these kinds of cells out of the box (called selection cells). You just pass on your strings array to the selection cell and it will automatically display the detail view, and even assign the selected option to one of your object's properties if you wish. Should save you some good amount of manual work. Good luck!
My app design required a page that display 'user information' and i currently have this setup using a simple table view in a View controller. Now, the tricky thing is I need to be able to provide functionality to the user to be able to edit these on the same same screen. So essentially when the user taps on a row in the table view, I want that little flashing text line at the end of the current text in the row so the user can edit what's currently present and I also want a save button to apear on the top when a user has started editing. The tricky part is, not all fields in my table view will be editable. So, I need certain fields to be editable and have the save button appear and certain fields not.
Can you tell me how would I go about modifying my existing design to implement this functionality? I would appreciate some code if you think you can show me how exactly I would go about doing things.
You would probably want to make some custom UITableViewCells. You can fill a tableview with all sorts of different cells which are different sizes and looks different, all at the same time. I would suggest a custom UITableViewCell which will hold a UITextField as one of the subviews. On the cells which you don't want user interaction with the textfield, either make a new custom cell that uses a UILabel or just do textfield.userInteractionEnabled = NO. Look up some custom uitableviewCell tutorials to get you started and then use the approach that I suggested for your problem.
