UITableView: can I delete multiple rows?

Question

I want to delete multiple rows from a table view, based on the user\'s selection. Obviously I can\'t use the didSelectRowAtIndexPath method because it will be calle

Answer 1

A late reply, but another way to handle this (if you are targeting iOS 5) is to toggle editing mode and use the built-in multiple cell selection. Easiest way to do this is to put this in viewDidLoad...

// add edit button to navigation bar, which auto toggles editing mode
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;
// allows user to select multiple cells while in editing mode
self.tableView.allowsMultipleSelectionDuringEditing = YES;
