Custom Row Animations for UITableViewCell

Question

When I need to refresh UITableView I need some custom animations. I look for something like :

[self.table reloadSections:[NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndex:0] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationLeft];

but to set my own animations. It would be perfect if this animation would be on UITableViewCell bases, because I need to animate onelly some of the elements in cell.

What I try to do:

I have custom cell like this

 ___________________________________
|  lable   |separator|  lable 2     |
 -----------------------------------

I would like lable 2 to swipe left or right, but not the whole cell.

in .h you will have reloadInWithMyOwnAnimation BOOL variable. Before you reload the section set it as YES. after reloading you set it as NO.

    reloadingWithMyOwnAnimation = YES;

    [tableView reloadSections:[NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndex:0] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationLeft];

    reloadingWithMyOwnAnimation = NO;



    - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

        UITableViewCell *myCustomCell = cell;

        BOOL swipeLeft = YES;


        if (reloadingWithMyOwnAnimation == YES) {


            [UIView animateWithDuration:0.8f animations:^{

                if (swipeLeft) {
                    //Swipe Right

                    //Get the label frame
                    CGRect myLabelFrame = myCustomCell.textLabel.frame;


                    //Set it to 0
                    myLabelFrame.origin.x = 0;

                    //Move it to Right
                    myLabelFrame.origin.x += cell.bounds.size.width;


                    //Set the frame of the label
                    [myCustomCell.textLabel setFrame:myLabelFrame];


                }
                else{
                    //Swipe Left

                    //Get the label frame
                    CGRect myLabelFrame = myCustomCell.textLabel.frame;


                    //Set it to 0
                    myLabelFrame.origin.x = 0;

                    //Move it to Left
                    myLabelFrame.origin.x -= cell.bounds.size.width;


                    //Set the frame of the label
                    [myCustomCell.textLabel setFrame:myLabelFrame];



                }

                [myCustomCell layoutSubviews];


            } completion:^(BOOL finished) {

                NSLog(@"Done");


            }];


        }
}
