UITableView Edit Mode by default

Question

I am trying to have a tableView which have edit button to remove cells by default. Is there anyway to achieve that rather than selecting edit button and then to get to edit mode?

Thanks

Answer 1

Editing mode is a state of the UITableView . You can set it programmatically with:

[tableView setEditing:YES animated:YES]

You can do this anytime, with or without animation.

Answer 2

Set the table view to editing mode as soon as it appears. In your viewWillAppear method:

self.tableView.editing = YES;
