UITableView disable swipe to delete, but still have delete in Edit mode?

Question

I want something similar as the Alarm app, where you can\'t swipe delete the row, but you can still delete the row in Edit mode.

When commented out tableView:commitE

Answer 1

On C#:

I had the same issue where it was needed to enable/disable rows with Delete option on swipe. Multiple rows needed to be swiped left and get deleted, keep them in another colour. I achieved using this logic.

[Export("tableView:canEditRowAtIndexPath:")]
public bool CanEditRow(UITableView tableView, NSIndexPath indexPath)
{

    if (deletedIndexes.Contains(indexPath.Row)){
        return false;
    }
    else{
        return true;
    }

}

Note that deletedIndexes are a list of indexes which are deleted from the table without duplicates. This code check whether a row is deleted, then it disables swipe or vice versa.

The equivalent delegate function is Swift is canEditRowAtIndexPath.
