How to change uitableview delete button text

Question

Hi there I am trying to change the text that is showing in the delete button when a user swipes a uitableviewcell inside my tableview.

I have seen an example in another question thread that says to use this tableview delegate

- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForDeleteConfirmationButtonForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

My question is, how do I use this method.. I am not sure how to use this.

Answer 1

In your controller managing the UITableView you should implement the UITableviewDelegate and return the title you want for your method inside the titleForDeleteConfirmationButtonForRowAtIndexPath method.

Example:

@interface CategoryAddViewController : UITableViewController
@end

@implementation CategoryAddViewController
// ...
-(NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForDeleteConfirmationButtonForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
return @"Please don't delete me!";
}

@end

Leaving you off with something like that:
