Question

I need some help with UITableView. I’m looking for the best solution for creating edit table functionality. I have UITableViewController with data and two modes:

• Edit mode: All fields (like first name, last name, phone, web page etc…)
• View mode: Show only filed rows.

The difficult thing is to animate the rows when a user clicks the edit button.

I want the same animation we have in the address book app on iPhone.

So you need add something like this (thanks Sandy)

- (void)setEditing:(BOOL)editing animated:(BOOL)animated{
    [super setEditing:editing animated:animated];
    NSArray *paths = [NSArray arrayWithObject:
                      [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:1 inSection:0]];
    if (editing) {

        [[self tableView] insertRowsAtIndexPaths:paths
                                withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationTop];
    }else {
        [[self tableView] deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:paths
                                withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationTop];
    }
}

After that
– (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
– (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section

will be colled, and you can edit list of cells and their appearance.
