Change the Color of Default Red Color Delete Button in Uitableviewcell When Swiping Rows or Click on Edit Button

Change the color of default red color delete button in UITableViewCell when swiping rows or click on edit button

iOS 8 and 9 (props to this post)

Note: If you are working with an existing iOS 7 project, you'll need to update the target to iOS 8 to get this functionality. Also remember to set the UITableviewDelegate.

All the magic now happens here (as many buttons as you want too!!!!):

 -(NSArray *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editActionsForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
 UITableViewRowAction *button = [UITableViewRowAction rowActionWithStyle:UITableViewRowActionStyleDefault title:@"Button 1" handler:^(UITableViewRowAction *action, NSIndexPath *indexPath)
    {
        NSLog(@"Action to perform with Button 1");
    }];
    button.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor]; //arbitrary color
    UITableViewRowAction *button2 = [UITableViewRowAction rowActionWithStyle:UITableViewRowActionStyleDefault title:@"Button 2" handler:^(UITableViewRowAction *action, NSIndexPath *indexPath)
                                    {
                                        NSLog(@"Action to perform with Button2!");
                                    }];
    button2.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor]; //arbitrary color

    return @[button, button2];
}

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
// you need to implement this method too or nothing will work:

}
 - (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
    {
        return YES;
    }

**activate the delete button on swipe**

// make sure you have the following methods in the uitableviewcontroller

    - (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
    {
        return YES;
    }
    - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
    {
        NSLog(@"You hit the delete button.");
    }

set custom text label instead of delete.

-(NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForDeleteConfirmationButtonForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    return @"Your Label";
}

set custom color for button part 1 - warning, this technically involves poking at the private apple API. However, you are not prevented from modifying a subview using a public method search that is part of UIKIT.

Create a uitableviewcell class (see also https://stackoverflow.com/a/22350817/1758337 )

- (void)layoutSubviews
{
    [super layoutSubviews];
    for (UIView *subview in self.subviews) {
        //iterate through subviews until you find the right one...
        for(UIView *subview2 in subview.subviews){
            if ([NSStringFromClass([subview2 class]) isEqualToString:@"UITableViewCellDeleteConfirmationView"]) {
                //your color
                ((UIView*)[subview2.subviews firstObject]).backgroundColor=[UIColor blueColor];
            }
        }
    }    
}

Another note: there's no guarantee this approach will work in future updates. Also beware that mentioning or using the private UITableViewCellDeleteConfirmationView class may lead to AppStore rejection.

set custom color for button part 2

back in your uitableviewcontroller

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willBeginEditingRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    [YourTableView reloadData];
}

(The alternate color won't be called until the next time layoutSubviews is called on the tablecell, so we ensure this happens by reloading everything.)

How to change the default delete button in a table view cell in Swift?

swift tableview delegate have new method. Try this may be it will resolve your problem.

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, editActionsForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> [UITableViewRowAction]?{

    let ackAction = UITableViewRowAction(style: .default, title: "Himanshu", handler: myFunction)
        ackAction.backgroundColor = UIColor.orange

    return [ackAction]
}

Now you can even modify your delete functionality

UITableViewCell, show delete button on swipe

During startup in (-viewDidLoad or in storyboard) do:

self.tableView.allowsMultipleSelectionDuringEditing = false

Override to support conditional editing of the table view. This only needs to be implemented if you are going to be returning NO for some items. By default, all items are editable.

- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    // Return YES if you want the specified item to be editable.
    return YES;
}

// Override to support editing the table view.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete) {
        //add code here for when you hit delete
    }    
}

Changing the color of UITableViewCellDeleteConfirmationControl(Delete Button) in UITableViewCell

This is the solution:

- (void)layoutSubviews
{
    [super layoutSubviews];

    for (UIView *subview in self.subviews) {
        if ([NSStringFromClass([subview class]) isEqualToString:@"UITableViewCellDeleteConfirmationControl"]) {
            UIView *deleteButtonView = (UIView *)[subview.subviews objectAtIndex:0];
            UIImageView *image = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"Background"]];
            [deleteButtonView addSubview:image];
        }
    }
}

How to set clear background in table view cell swipe action?

You can just set the alpha value to 0 for background color of the action:

let modifyAction = UIContextualAction(style: .normal, title:  "", handler: { (ac:UIContextualAction, view:UIView, success:(Bool) -> Void) in
    print("Update action ...")
    success(true)
})
modifyAction.backgroundColor = UIColor.init(red: 0/255.0, green: 0/255.0, blue: 0/255.0, alpha: 0.0)

How to set the action of UITableViewRowAction

when your press button it will call the block.

UITableViewRowAction *unlabelSpecies = [UITableViewRowAction rowActionWithStyle:UITableViewRowActionStyleNormal title:@"UnLabel" handler:^(UITableViewRowAction *action, NSIndexPath *indexPath)
                                        {
                                             CALL_YOUR_METHOD_FROM_HERE
                                        }];


unlabelSpecies.backgroundColor = [UIColor darkGrayColor];

return @[unlabelSpecies];
