Hide sectionindextitles when delete button appears on the cell

Question

I am setting titles for Tableview using SectionIndexTitlesForTableview method. When I swipe a cell, delete button appears next this titles which looks odd. How to hide this indexTitles when delete button appears and show when delete button disappears.

Answer 1

The inEditMode method hides an index when a table is going to be edited

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willBeginEditingRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
    [self inEditMode:YES];
}

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didEndEditingRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
    [self inEditMode:NO];
}
//on self.editButtonItem click
-(void)setEditing:(BOOL)editing animated:(BOOL)animated{
    [super setEditing:editing animated:animated];
    [self inEditMode:editing];
}

-(void)inEditMode:(BOOL)inEditMode{
    if (inEditMode) { //hide index while in edit mode
        self.tableView.sectionIndexMinimumDisplayRowCount = NSIntegerMax;
    }else{
         self.tableView.sectionIndexMinimumDisplayRowCount = NSIntegerMin;
    }
    [self.tableView reloadSectionIndexTitles];
}

- (NSArray *)sectionIndexTitlesForTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
    return [tableView isEditing] ? nil: @[@"A",@"B",@"C"];
}
