Question

I have a table view in one of my viewcontrollers which gets set to edit mode using:

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;

I’m also setting the cell’s editingAccessoryType to the appropriate UITableViewCellAccessoryType:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
  static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
  UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
  if (cell == nil) {
    cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
  }
  NSString *cellLabel = [cellDetails objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
  NSString *cellData = [movieDictionary objectForKey:cellLabel];
  cell.textLabel.text = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%@ %@", cellLabel, cellData];
  cell.editingAccessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
  cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
  return cell;
}

within cellForRowAtIndexPath. However, when I tap the Edit button, the accessories don’t show. The table is being set to edit mode (setEditing is being called). Does anyone know what I’m missing out on?

Answer 1

Do you implement the setEditing?

- (void)setEditing:(BOOL)editing animated:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super setEditing:editing animated:animated];

    [self.tableView setEditing:editing animated:animated];

}
