Question

I would like to ask if it is possible to select multiple cells by dragging my finger on the cells I want to select. For example when you are cropping a picture, you are dragging a line with your finger and I want to have a similar effect.

I can also consider using other UI elements rather than a UITableView, open to suggestions.

Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

You can put a transparent(view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor]) overlay view above the table view when you want to select.

In this transparent view, you should set up a UIPanGestureRecognizer, and by watching events of this recogniser, especially the events for Began, Changed, Ended and Cancelled. The target object would know the range to select.
