I have a delete button inside a UITableView cell. The function of this button

  • 0

I have a delete button inside a UITableView cell. The function of this button is to delete the content of that specific cell out of Core Data. This process cannot be undone; so, I added UIAlertView to let users confirm their decision before proceeding into deletion.

It seems that I need to code all the deletion logic inside…

- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex

However, this is a delegate method. The Indexpath of the table cell is missing? How do I access the UITableViewCell data after the UIAlertView button is clicked?

One of the idea I have in mind now is to traverse up using alertview.superview until I find UITableViewCell, and access its indexPath property. But this does not seem to be elegant. Should there should be another way to fix this issue?

    Because the UIAlertView is modal I don’t see any problems in saving the indexPath of the UITableViewCell before presenting the UIAlertView in a (global) variable (and maybe clearing that variable in - (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex (just to be on the safe side).
    At least this is what I did when I had this issue.

    ps. It’s far from best practice but as long as you do some basic checks you should be ok.
