How to add Swipe Gestures to UITableView cell?

Question

I added this code in cellForRowAtIndexPath

UISwipeGestureRecognizer *gestureR = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc]
                                       


        

Answer 1

Instead of two times alloc, it would be better if you use

UISwipeGestureRecognizer* recognizer = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleSwipe:)];
[recognizer setDirection:UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft+UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight];
[cell addGestureRecognizer:recognizer];

And get the direction of swipe in the action as :

-(void)handleSwipe:(UISwipeGestureRecognizer *) sender 
{
    if (sender.direction == UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft) 
    {
    //do something
    }
    else //if (sender.direction == UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight) 
    {
  //do something
     }
}
