DemonstratesUITableViewRowActionUITableViewController.m

- (NSArray *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editActionsForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    UITableViewRowAction *moreAction = [UITableViewRowAction rowActionWithStyle:UITableViewRowActionStyleDefault title:@"More" handler:^(UITableViewRowAction *action, NSIndexPath *indexPath){
        // maybe show an action sheet with more options
        [self.tableView setEditing:NO];
    }];
    moreAction.backgroundColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
    
    UITableViewRowAction *blurAction = [UITableViewRowAction rowActionWithStyle:UITableViewRowActionStyleDefault title:@"Blur" handler:^(UITableViewRowAction *action, NSIndexPath *indexPath){
        [self.tableView setEditing:NO];
    }];
    blurAction.backgroundEffect = [UIVibrancyEffect effectForBlurEffect:[UIBlurEffect effectWithStyle:UIBlurEffectStyleExtraLight]];
    
    UITableViewRowAction *deleteAction = [UITableViewRowAction rowActionWithStyle:UITableViewRowActionStyleDestructive title:@"Delete"  handler:^(UITableViewRowAction *action, NSIndexPath *indexPath){
        [self.objects removeObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
        [self.tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:@[indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationAutomatic];
    }];
    
    return @[deleteAction, moreAction, blurAction];
}

// From Master/Detail Xcode template
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete) {
        [self.objects removeObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
        [tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:@[indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
    } else if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleInsert) {
        // Create a new instance of the appropriate class, insert it into the array, and add a new row to the table view.
    }
}

How can I return the row to its initial position after its action has been triggered?

EDIT: Solved by adding [self.tableView setEditing:NO] to the action handler per suggestion by @marksands

Updated gist with @maddoggy1979's tips.

Have you successfully placed an image in each action button instead of text?

Did you see a way to add these buttons when swiping from left to right? like in the mail app "mark as read"?

@marksands How to set equal width for UITableViewRowAction?(Delete,More,etc)

how do you swap the title text for an image/icon?

this looks like a work around but not ideal (swift):
deleteAction.backgroundColor = UIColor(patternImage: UIImage(named:"sample")!)

You can have your delete action call the delegate method to simplify things:

let deleteAction = UITableViewRowAction(style: .Default, title: "Delete") { (rowAction, indexPath) -> Void in
    self.tableView(tableView, commitEditingStyle: .Delete, forRowAtIndexPath: indexPath)
}

What about buttons that show when the user swipes from left to right direction?

this was super useful! thanks :)

thanks !
