tableView(_:canPerformPrimaryActionForRowAt:)

Asks the delegate whether to perform a primary action for the row at the specified index path.

Declaration

optional func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, canPerformPrimaryActionForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool

Parameters

  • tableView:

    The table view object asking whether to perform a primary action.

  • indexPath:

    The index path of the row.

Return Value

true if the primary action can be performed; otherwise, false. If you don’t implement this method, the default return value is true when the table view isn’t in an editing state, and false when it is.

Discussion

Primary actions allow you to distinguish between a distinct user action and a change in selection (like a focus change or other indirect selection change). A primary action occurs when a person selects a single row without extending an existing selection.

UIKit calls this method before tableView(_:performPrimaryActionForRowAt:).
