Answer 1

When you are adding images to the swiped view, this answer may be helpful.

Answer 2

No, I don't think it's possible to have a right swipe (with a UITableViewCell, anyway). However, you can use an image for the button by setting its background color using colorWithPatternImage:. The width of the button seems to be determined by the length of the title, so if you want to change the width (and not have any visible title), use a title that consists of as many spaces as you need.

Answer 3

in Swift it would be:

deleteAction.backgroundColor = UIColor(patternImage: UIImage(named:"sample")!)
