Question

Currently, my iOS (6) application uses the Master-Detail view template, with some list elements being pre-populated. Users currently have the option to ‘Edit’ and add to (‘+’) the list. Is there a way of removing these buttons, to prevent the original list being changed?

Answer 1

Yes there is an easy way.

Find this code in MasterViewController.m and remove these lines self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;, self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = addButton;

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;

    UIBarButtonItem *addButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemAdd target:self action:@selector(insertNewObject:)];
    self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = addButton;
}
