I have these 3 delegate methods implemented for my swipe to delete handling, but nothing is happening and none of these methods get called.
//returns UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
//removes deleted object from my tabledata array
- (UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
//checks if data actually can be deleted (all set to yes currently)
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
what exactly am i missing? im swiping all day long on my table cells but nothing happens.
Make sure you have the DataSource & Delegate connected up to your view controller
and also make sure you refresh the table when done using [self.tableView reloadData];

I am facing a problem while developing Drag&Drop iOS11 feature to allow send and receive data between apps.
In the tableView of a view controller, with it's dragDelegate and dropDelegate assigned on viewDidLoad to the view controller itself, I implement the
- (NSArray<UIDragItem *> *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView itemsForBeginningDragSession:(id<UIDragSession>)session atIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath method, but it is never being called.
The drop behavior is working correctly and the table view can consume items from other apps such Photos or Notes. But when I tap a table view row for a couple of seconds, nothing happens. The lift animation doesn't occur and the drag delegate isn't fired.
Any thoughts? Am I missing anything required?
On iPhone, besides setting the dragDelegate you must also set dragInteractionEnabled on the UITableView to true. On iPad, this property is set to true by default.
Please try below delegate methods for re-ordering of cell.
- (UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
return UITableViewCellEditingStyleNone;
}
Implement the following UITableView datasource method in your project.
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canMoveRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
return YES;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView moveRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)sourceIndexPath toIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)destinationIndexPath
{
[dataArray exchangeObjectAtIndex:sourceIndexPath.row withObjectAtIndex:destinationIndexPath.row];
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
I have a problem where my table view does not show the delete button on cell swipes.
I created a separate datasource class that conforms to the UITableViewDataSource protocol. I have a UITableViewController that I am presenting using a UIPopoverPresentationController. Before presenting it, of course, I set up the datasource with all the information it needs and I ensure that it implements:
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
return YES;
}
In my UITableViewController subclass, I also am sure to implement both:
- (UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
return UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete) {
// do something (this doesn't get hit yet anyway, as delete button does not appear)
}
}
The problem seems to be that the method tableView:editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath: does not ever get called. However, if I bypass my separate datasource class and simply implement the datasource within my UITableViewController subclass, I notice that this method does get called.
I would prefer to figure out why it is the case that my using a separate datasource class gives me problems for swipe-to-delete, rather than abandoning this class (which I am using throughout my app in non-editable table views) and instead opting for keeping the datasource within the UITableViewController subclass entirely. Any pointers on where to look would be greatly appreciated!
You need to add the following tableView datasource method in your .m file.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
I have just added a UITableView in to my storyboard and the suggested constraints to it like that.. Now i have written very simple code with some delegate and datasource methods implemented like this. . Now when i tap the first row it detects nothing and check the console in the below image, when i press the second row it tells me that the indexPath.row is 0.. can some body point out that what i am doing wrong here.
You are calling -(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didDeselectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath which is called when you deselect row , instead call
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
It's because you are using didDeSelectRowAtIndexPath: instead of didSelectRowAtIndexPath: method.
You have to call "didSelectRowAtIndexPath" Delegate method.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
This method only return which row we have selected.
I have a view controller with 2 table views A and B. In table A, i want to enable deletion of cells, in table B, i want to disable deletion of cells.
Implementing - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{} will enable the deletion (when a cell is swiped to the left, the deletion button appears) on all table views in the view controller.
How can I disable this for a single table?
You should implement below delegate method as something like:
- (UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if(tableView == tableViewA)
return UITableViewCellEditingStyleNone;
else
return UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath; method is for committing an editing in a UITableView, so it will be called if the user invoke the editing action.
commitEditingStyle function has a parameter tableView. You can assign different tags to your tableView and detect them inside this function - and return YES for one and NO for another.
I'm having the following problem.
I have an app using a UITableView with a custom UITableViewCell. Because of the specs of the app, I need it to be in edit mode always, so on the viewDidLoad I wrote this:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
MainTableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"compose_background.png"]];
[MainTableView setAllowsSelectionDuringEditing: TRUE];
[MainTableView setEditing: TRUE];
[super viewDidLoad];
}
Also, I've implemented the following methods:
- (UITableViewCellEditingStyle) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
- (BOOL) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
- (void) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
And several more, but the problem persists and when I swipe a cell the delete button doesn't shows up. Any pointers would be highly appretiated.
- (UITableViewCellEditingStyle) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath must return UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete for each row you want to delete. Swipe-to-delete is disabled in favor of this method when in editing mode.
I don't think there is anyway for the standard swipe to delete to work while the table view is in editing mode, you'd have to respond to gestures and add your own delete button.
