Question

Ok, so my project (which does have Cocos2d) has 3 UITableViews. So far, I am only concerned with the first one, which is why I am only pasting the code for the first one. The problem is, whenever I use the app, the table view shows up, with all of it’s content. The edit/done button also shows up as it is supposed to in the right hand corner. However, whenever I try to hit the edit button, the button switches to Done, but there is no delete icon near the cells, nor can I delete the cells. I have tried many solutions, but none of them seem to work. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

In your edit button action, you need to give setEditing as YES.

[tableView setEditing:YES animated:YES];
