iOS - deleting row from UITableView doesn't animate
I have a very frustrating issue. I have an app with a UITableView. When I
am removing a cell from the table view, it is removed from the data model
and then I call the following:
-(void)removeItem:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.25 animations:^(void){
[self.tableView beginUpdates];
[self.tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:@[indexPath]
withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationRight];
[self.tableView endUpdates];
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
//Some code to select the first cell in the first section
}];
}
My problem is, I've tried it like I do above, and I've tried without using
animateWithDuration. I've even tried with a CATransaction, but however I
do it, the animation doesn't happen.
I've got slow animations on in my Simulator and when I remove an item from
the list, it removes correctly, but without animation. It just disappears
and leaves a blank space for a moment before the table view data is
reloaded.
I've search all over SO and Google and I can't seem to find an answer. Any
ideas?
Does it perhaps have to do with the fact that I'm removing the object from
the data model before calling the function above?
