Copy a row to another section in UITableView - ios

Question

I want to copy a row to another section when a button in the row is tapped.i have done it.But only the text is getting copied.I also want to move the image which is in that row.
-(void)moveRowToAnotherSection:(id)sender{
UIButton *button = (UIButton *)sender;
UITableViewCell *cell = (UITableViewCell *)button.superview;
NSMutableArray *tempArr = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[[self tableView] beginUpdates];
[tempArr addObject:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:self.favouritesArray.count inSection:0]];
[self.favouritesArray insertObject:cell.textLabel.text atIndex:self.favouritesArray.count];
[[self tableView] insertRowsAtIndexPaths:(NSArray *)tempArr withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
[[self tableView] endUpdates];
}

Answer 1

There are three points I want to make:
1) You want to move the image when a particular row is tapped, right?
Then why dont you use Tableview delegate's method- didSelectRowAtIndexPath.
2) There is a method in UITableView that is used to move rows. Here is from the Apple Documentation:
- (void)moveRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath toIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)newIndexPath
Moves the row at a specified location to a destination location.
Here is the piece of code that moves the tapped row to section 0 row 0.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
NSIndexPath *path = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0];
[tableView beginUpdates];
[tableView moveRowAtIndexPath:path toIndexPath:indexPath];
[tableView moveRowAtIndexPath:indexPath toIndexPath:path];
[tableView endUpdates];
}
3) The third point is the main one. UITableView by default provides a reordering control and if you want to reorder rows by dragging and not tapping, you can achieve this following these steps:
Step 1:
Set your tableview to editing mode. Normally this is done through an Edit Button.
[_yourTableView setEditing:YES animated:YES];
Step 2:
In - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
assign
cell.showsReorderControl = YES;
Step 3:
Implement UITableViewDataSource's method
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView moveRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)fromIndexPath toIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)toIndexPath{
// here you do all the reordering in your dataSource Array. Because dragging rows change the index of your row but the change should reflect in yopur array as well.
}
Thats it, you don't need to write any code under beginUpdates and endUpdates block. You just have to implement these three steps.
