I'm trying to delete a section from a UITableView using animation and custom table section header UIViews.
I use...
//Deletion from my model done here (not shown) and then perform the deleteSections...
[self.tableView beginUpdates];
[self.tableView
deleteSections:[NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndex:index]
withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];
[self.tableView endUpdates];
This works fine when I provide the section titles using
tableView:titleForHeaderInSection:
But when I provide my own custom header using
tableView:viewForHeaderInSection:
It deletes the desired section and shifts all the sections below it up. What I think is happening is it is asking for the new custom header just before it does the deletion animation. So it animates the removal of the desiredRow+1.
I end up with every section shifted up by one and a blank section at the bottom.
If I scroll to the bottom of the table then come back the sections are found properly again.
I don't think this is something I can fix. It seems like a problem in Apple's code handling section deletion with custom section headers. Usually it's a good idea to blame myself first :) . I'm using the same logic to find the model object for my custom section headers vs. the NSString section titles so I cannot see how it could be a problem with my code.
Anyone know how to fix this or should I rethink my use of sections?
