Enable dragging UITableViewCell without setEditing method:
I am trying to enable drag and drop UITableViewCell to replace them. This is not a problem, but I want to do it without the setEditing: method. I want to swap cells before dragging the cell with something like longGestureAction and drop it elsewhere, but without disabling the selectRow method and no icons on the side.
I don't need something like this:

I want something like this / with the ability to drag and drop of course /:

Oh, I need to enable drag and drop, like in the Clear app.

You can easily get this efect with -setEditing:
. You just need to assign some properties to yours UITableViewCells
:
- (UITableViewCell*)tableView:(UITableView)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UITableViewCell *cell = ...;
cell.shouldIndentWhileEditing = NO;
cell.showsReorderControl = NO;
return cell;
}
Just make sure you call -setEditing:
in -viewDidLoad
:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[tableView setEditing:YES animated:NO];
}
EDIT: I searched the web a bit and found this: JTGestureBasedTableViewDemo for iOS . It's ClearApp-based and very impressive. You can see how to do this and apply some solutions in your application :)
EDIT # 2: If you want to enable selection while editing, just set this tableView property:
tableView.allowsSelectionDuringEditing = YES;

You can try this: https://github.com/ice3-software/i3-dragndrop and this stack over streaming channel: drag from uitableviewcell to uiimage view in ios
(For the above library, you can try using 1st example.)
I would have liked to write this more as a comment ... but I don't have enough reputation.
Hope this helps someone.
