Custom edit view in UITableViewCell while swipe left. Objective-C or Swift

Just copy paste the code below!

-(NSArray *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editActionsForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    
    UITableViewRowAction *editAction = [UITableViewRowAction rowActionWithStyle:UITableViewRowActionStyleNormal title:@"Clona" handler:^(UITableViewRowAction *action, NSIndexPath *indexPath){
       //insert your editAction here
    }];
    editAction.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
    
    UITableViewRowAction *deleteAction = [UITableViewRowAction rowActionWithStyle:UITableViewRowActionStyleNormal title:@"Delete"  handler:^(UITableViewRowAction *action, NSIndexPath *indexPath){
       //insert your deleteAction here
    }];
    deleteAction.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
    return @[deleteAction,editAction];
}

Swift 3

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, editActionsForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> [UITableViewRowAction]? {

    let editAction = UITableViewRowAction(style: .normal, title: "Edit") { (rowAction, indexPath) in
        //TODO: edit the row at indexPath here
    }
    editAction.backgroundColor = .blue

    let deleteAction = UITableViewRowAction(style: .normal, title: "Delete") { (rowAction, indexPath) in
        //TODO: Delete the row at indexPath here
    }
    deleteAction.backgroundColor = .red

    return [editAction,deleteAction]
}

Swift 2.1

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, editActionsForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> [UITableViewRowAction]? {
    let editAction = UITableViewRowAction(style: .Normal, title: "Edit") { (rowAction:UITableViewRowAction, indexPath:NSIndexPath) -> Void in
        //TODO: edit the row at indexPath here
    }
    editAction.backgroundColor = UIColor.blueColor()

    let deleteAction = UITableViewRowAction(style: .Normal, title: "Delete") { (rowAction:UITableViewRowAction, indexPath:NSIndexPath) -> Void in
        //TODO: Delete the row at indexPath here
    }
    deleteAction.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()

    return [editAction,deleteAction]
}

Note: for iOS 8 onwards


You can use UITableViewRowAction's backgroundColor to set custom image or view. The trick is using UIColor(patternImage:).

Basically the width of UITableViewRowAction area is decided by its title, so you can find a exact length of title(or whitespace) and set the exact size of image with patternImage.

To implement this, I made a UIView's extension method.

func image() -> UIImage {
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(bounds.size, isOpaque, 0)
    guard let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext() else {
        return UIImage()
    }
    layer.render(in: context)
    let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
    return image!
}

and to make a string with whitespace and exact length,

fileprivate func whitespaceString(font: UIFont = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 15), width: CGFloat) -> String {
    let kPadding: CGFloat = 20
    let mutable = NSMutableString(string: "")
    let attribute = [NSFontAttributeName: font]
    while mutable.size(attributes: attribute).width < width - (2 * kPadding) {
        mutable.append(" ")
    }
    return mutable as String
}

and now, you can create UITableViewRowAction.

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, editActionsForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> [UITableViewRowAction]? {
    let whitespace = whitespaceString(width: kCellActionWidth)
    let deleteAction = UITableViewRowAction(style: .`default`, title: whitespace) { (action, indexPath) in
        // do whatever you want
    }

    // create a color from patter image and set the color as a background color of action
    let kActionImageSize: CGFloat = 34
    let view = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: kCellActionWidth, height: kCellHeight))
    view.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
    let imageView = UIImageView(frame: CGRect(x: (kCellActionWidth - kActionImageSize) / 2,
                                              y: (kCellHeight - kActionImageSize) / 2,
                                              width: 34,
                                              height: 34))
    imageView.image = UIImage(named: "x")
    view.addSubview(imageView)
    let image = view.image()

    deleteAction.backgroundColor = UIColor(patternImage: image)

    return [deleteAction]
}

The result will look like this.

Another way to do this is to import custom font which has the image you want to use as a font and use UIButton.appearance. However this will affect other buttons unless you manually set other button's font.

From iOS 11, it will show this message [TableView] Setting a pattern color as backgroundColor of UITableViewRowAction is no longer supported.. Currently it is still working, but it wouldn't work in the future update.

==========================================

For iOS 11+, you can use:

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, trailingSwipeActionsConfigurationForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UISwipeActionsConfiguration? {
  let deleteAction = UIContextualAction(style: .normal, title: "Delete") { (action, view, completion) in
    // Perform your action here
      completion(true)
  }

  let muteAction = UIContextualAction(style: .normal, title: "Mute") { (action, view, completion) in
    // Perform your action here
    completion(true)
  }

  deleteAction.image = UIImage(named: "icon.png")
  deleteAction.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
  return UISwipeActionsConfiguration(actions: [deleteAction, muteAction])
}

And customize your uitableviewcell with multiple button.

 UIScrollView *scrollView = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, CGRectGetWidth(self.bounds), CGRectGetHeight(self.bounds))];
scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(CGRectGetWidth(self.bounds) + kCatchWidth, CGRectGetHeight(self.bounds));
scrollView.delegate = self;
scrollView.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = NO;

[self.contentView addSubview:scrollView];
self.scrollView = scrollView;

UIView *scrollViewButtonView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(CGRectGetWidth(self.bounds) - kCatchWidth, 0, kCatchWidth, CGRectGetHeight(self.bounds))];
self.scrollViewButtonView = scrollViewButtonView;
[self.scrollView addSubview:scrollViewButtonView];

// Set up our two buttons
UIButton *moreButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
moreButton.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.78f green:0.78f blue:0.8f alpha:1.0f];
moreButton.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, kCatchWidth / 3.0f, CGRectGetHeight(self.bounds));
[moreButton setTitle:@"More" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[moreButton setTitleColor:[UIColor whiteColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[moreButton addTarget:self action:@selector(userPressedMoreButton:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

[self.scrollViewButtonView addSubview:moreButton];

UIButton *shareButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
shareButton.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.0f green:0.0f blue:1.0f alpha:1.0f];
shareButton.frame = CGRectMake(kCatchWidth / 3.0f, 0, kCatchWidth / 3.0f, CGRectGetHeight(self.bounds));
[shareButton setTitle:@"Share" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[shareButton setTitleColor:[UIColor whiteColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[shareButton addTarget:self action:@selector(userPressedMoreButton:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.scrollViewButtonView addSubview:shareButton];

UIButton *deleteButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
deleteButton.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:1.0f green:0.231f blue:0.188f alpha:1.0f];
deleteButton.frame = CGRectMake(kCatchWidth / 3.0f+kCatchWidth / 3.0f, 0, kCatchWidth / 3.0f, CGRectGetHeight(self.bounds));
[deleteButton setTitle:@"Delete" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[deleteButton setTitleColor:[UIColor whiteColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[deleteButton addTarget:self action:@selector(userPressedDeleteButton:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.scrollViewButtonView addSubview:deleteButton];

UIView *scrollViewContentView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, CGRectGetWidth(self.bounds), CGRectGetHeight(self.bounds))];
scrollViewContentView.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[self.scrollView addSubview:scrollViewContentView];
self.scrollViewContentView = scrollViewContentView;

UILabel *scrollViewLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectInset(self.scrollViewContentView.bounds, 10, 0)];
self.scrollViewLabel = scrollViewLabel;
[self.scrollViewContentView addSubview:scrollViewLabel];
  • I have implemented this code with my app got such result. You can add number of button in swipe cell.

    Here is implemented screen shots

    enter image description hereAfter swipe the cell 3 buttons appears "More","Share","Delete".


You Can try this,

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, editActionsForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> [UITableViewRowAction]? {

    let backView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 80, height: 80))
    backView.backgroundColor = #colorLiteral(red: 0.933103919, green: 0.08461549133, blue: 0.0839477703, alpha: 1)

    let myImage = UIImageView(frame: CGRect(x: 30, y: backView.frame.size.height/2-14, width: 16, height: 16))
    myImage.image = #imageLiteral(resourceName: "rubbish-bin")
    backView.addSubview(myImage)

    let label = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: myImage.frame.origin.y+14, width: 80, height: 25))
    label.text = "Remove"
    label.textAlignment = .center
    label.textColor = UIColor.white
    label.font = UIFont(name: label.font.fontName, size: 14)
    backView.addSubview(label)

    let imgSize: CGSize = tableView.frame.size
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(imgSize, false, UIScreen.main.scale)
    let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()
    backView.layer.render(in: context!)
    let newImage: UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()!
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

    let delete = UITableViewRowAction(style: .destructive, title: "           ") { (action, indexPath) in
        print("Delete")
    }

    delete.backgroundColor = UIColor(patternImage: newImage)

    return [delete, share]
}
