Question

I am developing an app which contains a table view. I want to appear the default delete button of table view (similar to swipe on delete) while tapping a right bar button in the navigation. IS it possible to do so ?

Answer 1

You can make the delete indicators of all cells to appear by calling

[myTableView setEditing:YES animated:YES];

from your button’s handler. If you want the indicator to appear only on the currently selected cell, you can do this:

NSIndexPath selection = [myTableView indexPathForSelectedRow];
UITableViewCell *selectedCell = [myTableView.dataSource tableView:myTableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:selection];
[selectedCell setEditing:YES animated:YES];
