Why do all Section Heading rows slide with table cell when i implement UITableViewRowAction

Question

I have the following swift code to implement a UITableViewRowAction, when I swipe a row the row slides out to the left as expected, however all the Section Header Rows also slide to the left with the table row at the same time.

I have also included a screen shot to show what is happening

If I remove the viewForHeader override and replace it with titleForHeaderInSection then I have no problem.

The reason for overiding the viewForHeader is that I want to place an image in the Header Row.

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {

    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("header") as UITableViewCell

    cell.textLabel?.text = instrumentGroups[section].name
    cell.imageView?.image = UIImage(named: instrumentGroups[section].name)

    return cell
}

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> InstrumentTableViewCell {
    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("instrumentCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as InstrumentTableViewCell

    cell.instrument = instrumentGroups[indexPath.section].instruments[indexPath.row]

    return cell
}

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, editActionsForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> [AnyObject]? {

    let instrument = instrumentGroups[indexPath.section].instruments[indexPath.row]

    var actions: [AnyObject] = []

    var action = UITableViewRowAction(style: .Normal, title: "Remove Watch") { (action, indexPath) -> Void in
        tableView.editing = false

        instrument.SetWatchList(false)

        self.refresh()
    }

    action.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()
    actions.append(action)

    return actions
}

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, commitEditingStyle editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {

}

Answer 1

I had the same problem. The answer is simple. Because you use UITableViewCell as header view. Try UILabel or UITableViewHeaderFooterView instead.

Simply return cell.contentView instead of cell within your viewForHeaderInSection function and your problem will be resolved.

And if your section has a background color, apply it to the contentView instead of to the cell itself. – Abilene
