Edit Button on Navigation Controller

Question

I have a navigation controller in my app and on its root view controller i have an Edit button as the rightBarButtonItem.

I have a second table view which is pushed when a cell is tapped on the root view controller.

The leftBarButtonItem becomes the Back button.

I would like an Edit button as well, where can i put it that would make the most sense? My rightBarButtonItem is a + button, so that rules that out.

I would like to be able to tap a cell and change the cells text.

Thanks

The easiest thing to do is add a toolbar at the bottom that contains an edit button.

You could also try adding a bar button item with a custom view that contains two UIButtons and set it as the right bar button item of your view controller's navigation item. I haven't actually tried this, so I don't really know if or how well it would work.
