Question

I’m trying to activate the edit mode for a UITableView. When I click the “Edit” button, it changes to “Done” but the round red minus signs dont show up in the table. I’m posting below some of the methods of the class. The app delegate created a Tab Bar and the views inside the tabs have navigation controllers. all is done in code, little is done with nib files. What’s wrong?

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {  
    return [ikub.subscriptions count];  
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {  
    int i = [indexPath row];  
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"cell"];  
    if (cell == nil) {  
        cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:@"cell"];  
    }  
    Subscriptions *s = [ikub.subscriptions objectAtIndex:i];  
    cell.textLabel.text         = [s title];  
    cell.detailTextLabel.text   = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ artikuj te rinj, %@ artikujt te lexuar", [s new], [s read]];  
    if (deleteActive) {  
        cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDetailDisclosureButton;  
    } else {  
        cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;  
    }  
    return cell;  
}  
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {  
    Subscriptions *s = [ikub.subscriptions objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];  
        NSString *address = [[NSString alloc] init];  
        NSString *type = [NSString stringWithString:[s type]];  
        if ([type isEqualToString:@"Category"]) {  
            address = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://www.ikub.al/Rss.aspx?node=9e26cdb8-dba6-4504-8bb6-29f0753be179~%@", [s code]];  
        } else if ([type isEqualToString:@"Tag"]) {  
            address = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://www.ikub.al/Rss.aspx?tag=%@", [s code]];  
        }
        address = [address stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];  
        SubscriptionStories *ss = [[SubscriptionStories alloc] init];  
        ss.address = address;  
        ss.title = [s title];  
        [self.navigationController pushViewController:ss animated:YES];  
        [ss release];  
}  
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {  
    [subscriptionsTable reloadData];  
}  
- (void)viewDidLoad {  
    refreshButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemRefresh target:self action:nil];  
    self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = refreshButton;  
    [refreshButton release];  
    self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;  
    [super viewDidLoad];      
}  
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {    
    return YES;  
}

You aren’t inheriting correctly.

You’re not going to get anything out of the UIViewController, it only contains the views. I suggest you try UITableViewController.
