Iphone – UITableview edit/done button

cocoa-touchiphoneuikituitableview

I have a tableview and navigation bar on the top.

I have a Edit button on the left of my navigation bar with the following line of code.

self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;

When i click on the edit button, it changes to done button. All is fine so far.

Where do i add code, if i want to do a small operation when the Done button is clicked.?

The button stops committing the changes to your controller class once you override it's default action with self.editButtonItem.action = @selector(editClicked:);

What you should do is override UIViewController's setEditing method in your own controller class:

- (void)setEditing:(BOOL)editing animated:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super setEditing:editing animated:animated];

    if(editing == YES) 
    {
        // Your code for entering edit mode goes here
    } else {
        // Your code for exiting edit mode goes here
    }
}

You also need to set your UIBarButtonItem to "Edit" in storyboard or if you prefer doing it in code use the following:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;
}

editButtonItem is a helper property already set by the system for your comfort.

Ios – How to disable the UITableView selection

All you have to do is set the selection style on the UITableViewCell instance using either:

Objective-C:

cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;

[cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone];

Swift 2:

cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyle.None

Swift 3 and 4.x:

cell.selectionStyle = .none

Further, make sure you either don't implement -tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: in your table view delegate or explicitly exclude the cells you want to have no action if you do implement it.

Ios – Eliminate extra separators below UITableView

Interface builder (iOS 9+)

Just drag a UIView to the table. In storyboard, it will sit at the top below your custom cells. You may prefer to name it "footer".

Here it is shown in green for clarity, you'd probably want clear color.

Note that by adjusting the height, you can affect how the "bottom bounce" of the table is handled, as you prefer. (Height zero is usually fine).

To do it programmatically:

Swift

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    self.tableView.tableFooterView = UIView()
}

Objective-C

iOS 6.1+

- (void)viewDidLoad 
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    // This will remove extra separators from tableview
    self.tableView.tableFooterView = [UIView new];
}

or if you prefer,

    self.tableView.tableFooterView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];

Historically in iOS:

Add to the table view controller...

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section {
     // This will create a "invisible" footer
     return CGFLOAT_MIN;
 }

and if necessary...

- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section
{        
    return [UIView new];

    // If you are not using ARC:
    // return [[UIView new] autorelease];
}
