I am creating a simple iPhone app using UITableView. I am using the default MasterDetail application template. Right now (in Edit mode) when I press any of the table cells nothing happens. However, when I am in normal mode the detail segue is initiated. How to override the Edit mode so that I initiate a custom segue to go to a different UIViewController.
P.S.: I still want to preserve the inherit delete functionality.
This is my code in my MasterViewController:
class MasterViewController: UITableViewController {
let kFileName: String = "/resolutionData.plist"
var resolutions = [Dictionary<String,String>]()
var achievedResolutions = [Dictionary<String,String>]()
// TO DO create a class to get this array
let iconArray = ["Fish","Fly","Heart","HelpingHand","Melon","Star","Tentacles","Volunteering"]
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem()
let addButton = UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: .Add, target: self, action: "insertNewObject:")
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = addButton
//extract the path
NSLog(dataFilePath())
/**
* Check where is the sandbox of the application
* and if there is read from the data file and story it to "objects" array
*/
if NSFileManager.defaultManager().fileExistsAtPath(dataFilePath()){
var temp = NSArray(contentsOfFile: dataFilePath()) as! [Dictionary<String,String>]
for res in temp{
if res["isAchieved"] == "Y"{
achievedResolutions.append(res)
}else{
resolutions.append(res)
}
}
//... if there is not - create it
} else {
let data = [["name":"Resolution name test","startingDate":"24-11-15","achievingDate":"01-01-2016","icon":iconArray[0],"isAchieved":"N"] as NSDictionary] as NSArray
//if the file does not exist...
if !NSFileManager.defaultManager().fileExistsAtPath(dataFilePath()){
//... create it
NSFileManager.defaultManager().createFileAtPath(dataFilePath(), contents: nil, attributes: nil)
}
//write to it
data.writeToFile(dataFilePath(), atomically: true)
}
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
func insertNewObject(sender: AnyObject) {
performSegueWithIdentifier("editDetails", sender: sender)
}
func saveDateToFile(){
let data = resolutions as NSArray
data.writeToFile(dataFilePath(), atomically: true)
}
func notifyTableViewForNewInsertion(){
let indexPath = NSIndexPath(forRow: 0, inSection: 0)
self.tableView.insertRowsAtIndexPaths([indexPath], withRowAnimation: .Automatic)
}
// MARK: - Segues
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
if segue.identifier == "showDetail" {
if let indexPath = self.tableView.indexPathForSelectedRow() {
let object = resolutions[indexPath.row] as Dictionary
(segue.destinationViewController as! DetailViewController).detailItem = object
}
}
}
// MARK: - Table View
override func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 2
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String? {
if section == 0 {
return "Active"
}else{
return "Achieved"
}
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
if section == 0 {
return resolutions.count
}else{
// TODO replace that with an actual array count
return achievedResolutions.count
}
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("Cell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! UITableViewCell
if indexPath.section == 0{
let object: AnyObject? = resolutions[indexPath.row] ["name"]
cell.textLabel!.text = object as? String
cell.detailTextLabel!.text = resolutions[indexPath.row]["achievingDate"]
cell.imageView!.image = UIImage(named: resolutions[indexPath.row]["icon"]!)
} else {
let object: AnyObject? = achievedResolutions[indexPath.row] ["name"]
cell.textLabel!.text = object as? String
cell.detailTextLabel!.text = resolutions[indexPath.row]["achievingDate"]
cell.imageView!.image = UIImage(named: resolutions[indexPath.row]["icon"]!)
}
return cell
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, canEditRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> Bool {
// Return false if you do not want the specified item to be editable.
return true
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, commitEditingStyle editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
if editingStyle == .Delete {
resolutions.removeAtIndex(indexPath.row)
saveDateToFile()
tableView.deleteRowsAtIndexPaths([indexPath], withRowAnimation: .Fade)
} else if editingStyle == .Insert {
// Create a new instance of the appropriate class, insert it into the array, and add a new row to the table view.
}
}
func dataFilePath() -> String{
let paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSSearchPathDirectory.DocumentDirectory, NSSearchPathDomainMask.UserDomainMask, true)
//get the first path and convert it to str
let docDicrectyory: String = paths[0] as! String
return "\(docDicrectyory)\(kFileName)"
}
}
Override willBeginEditingRowAtIndexPath: function. this willbe call before start editing. there you can initialize a global variable.
@property(nonatomic, String) BOOL editing
and in the
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
if (editing) {
if([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:@"identifierOne"]){
}else if([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:@"identifierTwo"]){
}
}
}
