I'm trying to replicate the same technique that Apple uses in their mail app for marking mail as unread or "Mark as Unread" when you swipe from left to right inside a mailbox.
I've found similar solutions but only for a gesture of swiping from right to left. I was hoping that this same solution was available as part of the Apple SDK for the opposite direction.
How can I acheive the same left-to-right gesture effect as iOS' Mail app does?
I've found similar solutions but only for a gesture of swiping from right to left.
SWTableViewCell has all the options you might want.
While dequeing a cell just set up left/right set of buttons as needed.
cell.leftUtilityButtons = [self leftButtons];
cell.rightUtilityButtons = [self rightButtons];
cell.delegate = self;
And by setting the view controller as its delegate, you can listen to the button clicks. Full details on how to implement are in that link
Ex 1:
Ex 2:
In case you are looking for buttons stacked vertically check out this.
I usually implement it at the table level.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UISwipeGestureRecognizer *recognizer = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self
action:@selector(leftSwipe:)];
[recognizer setDirection:(UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft)];
[self.tableView addGestureRecognizer:recognizer];
recognizer = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self
action:@selector(rightSwipe:)];
recognizer.delegate = self;
[recognizer setDirection:(UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight)];
[self.tableView addGestureRecognizer:recognizer];
}
You then have control of the direction and can customize at will
- (void)leftSwipe:(UISwipeGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer
{
//do you left swipe stuff here.
}
- (void)rightSwipe:(UISwipeGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer
{
//do you right swipe stuff here. Something usually using theindexPath that you get that way
CGPoint location = [gestureRecognizer locationInView:self.tableView];
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForRowAtPoint:location];
}

Since iOS 11, there are native provisions(delegate methods through UITableViewDelegate) to enable 'swipe actions' on a UITableView's cell on both sides:
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, leadingSwipeActionsConfigurationForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UISwipeActionsConfiguration? //For actions at the left
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, trailingSwipeActionsConfigurationForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UISwipeActionsConfiguration? //For actions at the right
These methods return a UISwipeActionsConfiguration that contains an array of UIContextualAction
For a UIContextualAction, you can specify its title, style, background colour, action colour, or even an UIImage and handle its callback ( obviously :-) )
Here's a sample implementation:
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, trailingSwipeActionsConfigurationForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UISwipeActionsConfiguration? {
let filterAction = UIContextualAction(style: .normal, title: "FILTER") { (action, view, bool) in
print("Swiped to filter")
}
filterAction.backgroundColor = UIColor.blue
return UISwipeActionsConfiguration(actions: [filterAction])
}
I know this is an old question, but I'm posting this just in case it helps someone randomly passing by...
You can do that in Swift 5 with this:
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView,
leadingSwipeActionsConfigurationForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UISwipeActionsConfiguration?
{
let closeAction = UIContextualAction(style: .normal, title: "Close", handler: { (ac:UIContextualAction, view:UIView, success:(Bool) -> Void) in
print("OK, marked as Closed")
success(true)
})
closeAction.image = UIImage(named: "tick")
closeAction.backgroundColor = .purple
return UISwipeActionsConfiguration(actions: [closeAction])
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView,
trailingSwipeActionsConfigurationForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UISwipeActionsConfiguration?
{
let modifyAction = UIContextualAction(style: .normal, title: "Update", handler: { (ac:UIContextualAction, view:UIView, success:(Bool) -> Void) in
print("Update action ...")
success(true)
})
modifyAction.image = UIImage(named: "hammer")
modifyAction.backgroundColor = .blue
return UISwipeActionsConfiguration(actions: [modifyAction])
}
The accepted answer in the link you've provided is for both swipes directions.
Notice that gestureRecognizer.direction returns YES both for UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft and UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight.
You'll just need to modify a couple of things:
Change the selector that get's called upon swiping, so it'll call your method, instead of the one in the post's example,
And change the direction of the swipe to be from left to right only, and not for both directions as it currently is, since, as I understand, you are trying to set a one-direction swipe.
So your code should look like this:
// In cellForRowAtIndexPath:, where you create your custom cell
cell.tableView=tableView;
cell.indexPath=indexPath;
UISwipeGestureRecognizer *swipeGestureRecognizer=[[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(YOUR_METHOD_GOES_HERE)];
[cell addGestureRecognizer:swipeGestureRecognizer];
.
-(BOOL) gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldReceiveTouch:(UITouch *)touch {
if([[gestureRecognizer view] isKindOfClass:[UITableViewCell class]] && ((UISwipeGestureRecognizer*)gestureRecognizer.direction==UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight)
return YES;
}
Note that you could also use the answer below the accepted answer, and just modify the gesture recogniser direction property to be UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight, instead of the current direction in the example, which is UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft.
If you choose to implement this, your viewController must implement the gesture recogniser delegate, and your code should look like this:
// Call this method in viewDidLoad
- (void)setUpLeftSwipe {
UISwipeGestureRecognizer *recognizer;
recognizer = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self
action:@selector(swipeRightt:)];
[recognizer setDirection:UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight];
[self.tableView addGestureRecognizer:recognizer];
recognizer.delegate = self;
}
- (void)swipeRight:(UISwipeGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer {
CGPoint location = [gestureRecognizer locationInView:self.tableView];
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForRowAtPoint:location];
... do something with cell now that i have the indexpath, maybe save the world? ...
}
Note- if I'm not mistaken, you'll need to create the cell swiping animation yourself, as, I believe, Xcode's default cell animation is only when swiping left.

I haven't tried and implemented this myself though.
Use your custom TableViewCell with scrollview as given below :
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
return 80;
}
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return 120;
}
-(UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return header_view;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return [array_field1 count];
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{

cell.scroll_view.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = NO;
[cell.scroll_view setContentOffset:CGPointMake(0,0) animated:NO];
[cell.scroll_view setPagingEnabled:true];
return cell;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
// Custom_Schedule_Cell *selectedCell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
// [selectedCell.scroll_view setContentOffset:CGPointMake(x2,0) animated:NO];
