UITableView in edit mode - 'Edit' button doesn't change status

Question

I have a UIViewController class, with a tableView. In viewDidLoad:

UIBarButtonItem *editIcon = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithBarButtonSystemItem: UIBarButton         


        

Answer 1

It's because you're only setting the style of the button (not its text) when you switch modes. You need to do this (or equivalent):

-(void)toggleEditMode{
    self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.title = self.tableView.editing ? @"Done" : @"Edit";
