Enter edit mode with single row/cell

Question

I have a custom swipe recognition class from this example: How to detect a swipe-to-delete gesture in a customized UITableviewCell?

    - (void)cellSwiped:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer {
    if (gestureRecognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded) {
        UITableViewCell *cell = (UITableViewCell *)gestureRecognizer.view;
        NSIndexPath* indexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForCell:cell];
    }
}

Now I would like to select that single row at the indexPath and enable edit mode for it, could someone show me how it can be done?

Cache the row you want somewhere and in your implementation of - (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath just only return YES for the row you want to be editable. Then enter edit mode by sending [tableView setEditing:YES animated:YES];.

I understand what you are trying to say, but I'm quite new to the iOS programming yet and I don't exactly understand what have to be done. I did something like this and it doesn't seem to work. if ([notifTable cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath]) { [[notifTable cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath]setEditing:YES animated:YES]; return YES; – user2180859 Mar 18 '13 at 04:17

You could have a variable in your class that is an NSIndexPath *index then have

-(BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    return indexPath == self.index;
}

And set index to whatever cell you want to be able to edit, then call tableView setEditing:YES animated:YES/NO whenever you want to edit that cell.

Try like this,

In your tableView didSelectRowAtIndex delegate method call the editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath method,

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
 [yourTableView.delegate tableView:tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
}

In editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath method,

- (UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {


  return UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete;

  }


- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {



}

Enter edit mode with single row/cell
