I am asking this question as I didn’t get any proper/relevant answer
(means I got the answer but not in the form that I want).
Hope anyone of you can provide me the right solution.

OK , My Question is about editable labels.
I have one table view that contains customized cell(s) with 6 different labels in each cell.

What I Want :

1) I want to edit the label when user touches it (Changes will be
saved).

2) When some save button is pressed, I want all the values from the
table view to be saved in an array.

I am attaching screenshot herewith (Hope it may help you to understand my question).

enter image description here

Note :

In the above screenshot what i want is when user touches the “Cotton” word, It can be editable and when user touches the next word (suppose “Pallet”) , change in the first word (means in “Cotton”) must be saved. There will be one button called “Save”(not in screenshot). When user presses “Save” button , all the values of Tableview should be saved in some array.

It will be very helpful if you can provide me the answer with relevant code.

    First of all, in this case, it is best to forget about using labels and use UITextField instead. If you implement UITextFieldDelegate’s methods, they will let you know when one starts editing or finishes.

    So here is what I would do. Create a subclass of UITableViewCell and make it look exactly how you want it to. Also, it should also have an NSIndexPath property, so you will always know exactly which row gets edited. (if your cells look anything like those in the screen-shots you provided, this step should be rather easy)

    Also, it should implement the UITextFieldDelegate protocol and also create one that will let you know when a cell has been edited so you can save it’s contents.

    In your controller, you should create a temporary array that will be a copy of you data source. When a cell gets edited, you should update the info in your temporary array. On pressing save, you should save this array and make it the data source. Else, just set it to nil and ARC will take care of it.

    I can’t provide you with code for now, but it shouldn’t be hard to code it once you understand the logic.
