  • 0

I am creating a “favorite pages” menu in my tableview application, where users can save their favorite web pages and then navigate to them easier through the menu.

For ease of remember which link is which, I want to allow the user to click a button that says “edit,” somehow select the cell that they want to edit the name of, and then type in the new name and have the cell rename itself to what the user typed in. I am currently using the built in settings application to save the link data.

I don’t need to know every aspect of what I just asked. I just want to know if it is possible for the user to edit the cell text of a tableview, and what methods I would use to do so.

I’ve seen other questions that cover similar ground, but generally from a more programmatic basis.

    The user cannot directly edit the cell text of a tableview. (Technically, it would be the cell.textLabel.text). However, if they go into an “edit” mode, you could easily display a UITextField in the cell (or in a modal view) which is prepopulated with the current value, let them edit it, save and then update the cell.textLabel.text value yourself.
