Question

I have an iPhone app with a detail view in a nav controller. When I enter edit mode, some of the cells get a disclosure indicator added to them. I also want some of the cells to disappear when in edit mode. All the tableView: delegate messages check if it is in editing mode and display the correct cells accordingly, but entering editing mode does not trigger a reload. If I call

[self.tableView reloadData]

in setEditing:animated:, I get the desired result, but I lose the transition animation – the ‘>’ suddenly appears instead of fading in. Is there a way to hide some cells for edit mode and still have the transition effects?

You’ll need logic to determine which cells should be on the screen and which cells need to disappear and then use the deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:withRowAnimation: method to remove the ones you want to animate out.
