Multirow select and delete in UITableView in iphone like Mail app in iphone

Question

I came across few blogs which tell how to do this, but I'm not sure if apple will accept or reject the apps. The links which i gone through are below:

• Multiple row selection and editing in a UITableView

• Multiple Row Selection with UITableView — The Easy Way

Please friends can you help me out with simple solution regarding how can this be done?

I came to know that there is a delegate function for this:

- (UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    return 3;
}

But how to implement this and how can I select the specific rows with checkmark as it's done in standard mail app from apple?

Answer 1

Check the documentation for the allowsMultipleSelectionDuringEditing property in a UITableView (only available starting iOS 5).

Also, look at this question: Is it possible to configure a UITableView to allow multiple-selection?

A guy in there backported the functionality to older iOS: https://github.com/ud7/UDTableView-allowsMultipleSelection
