Custom button for edit state of UITableView

Question

The standard behaviour for the editing state of a UITableView is to show a red minus, which when tapped brings up a delete button. Is there a way to customize this, whereby the minus button is a custom one, and the 'delete' confirmation does not appear?

Answer 1

To remove or change (but still use a standard editing accessory), use:

cell.editingAccessoryType = UITableViewCellEditingStyleNone;

To provide your own image/view, use:

cell.editingAccessoryView = yourView; //yourView can be an UIImageView

Answer 2

You could customize the whole edit process: Add a edit-Button to the nav bar. Add an action. On action change the appearance of the cells as you like. Call reloadData.
