Add/Delete UITableViewCell with animation?

Question

I know this might sound like a dumb question, but I have looked every where. How can I do this?

I know how to do this with a swype-to-delete method, but how cam I do it outside that function?

Please post some code samples.

Thanks!

[self.tableView beginUpdates];
[self.tableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:insertIndexPaths withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
[self.tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:deleteIndexPaths withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
[self.tableView endUpdates];

insertIndexPaths is an array of NSIndexPaths to be inserted to your table.

deleteIndexPaths is a array of NSIndexPaths to be deleted from your table.

Example array format for index paths :

NSArray *insertIndexPaths = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:
        [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0],
        [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:1 inSection:0],
        [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:2 inSection:0],
        nil];
