Prevent indentation of UITableViewCell (contentView) while editing

Question

Is it possible to keep the contentView.frame always the same, regardless of tableView.editing? I already tried to override layoutSubviews

Answer 1

You can always get a tableviewcell with an indexpath. Using that tableviewcell reuseidentifier, You can avoid the tableview cell content size to be resized or not. I had a requirement to implement the similar kind of functionality to avoid resizing of seperate cells. PFB the code.

-(BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView shouldIndentWhileEditingRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{

BOOL shouldIndentWhileEditingRow = NO;

UITableViewCell *lTableViewCell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];

/*Change the position of the target rect based on Sending messages or Receiving messages*/
if ([lTableViewCell.reuseIdentifier isEqualToString:@"SendingChatCellIdentifier"]) {

    shouldIndentWhileEditingRow = NO;

}else if ([lTableViewCell.reuseIdentifier isEqualToString:@"ReceivingChatCellIdentifier"]){

    shouldIndentWhileEditingRow = YES;
}

return shouldIndentWhileEditingRow;
}
