Clicking the editButtonItem done button doesn't end the editing

[Whitehk]

I have a UITableView. The left nav item is a edit button item. Whenever I click the edit button and try to click the done button to stop the editing, it won't do anything. What could be wrong? It was working fine not too long ago. What might I have deleted by accident? Here's my set editing method:

- (void)setEditing:(BOOL)editing animated:(BOOL)animated {
		[super setEditing:editing animated:animated];
		self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.enabled = !editing;
}

Here's the code I use to create the button:

-(void)viewDidLoad {
	self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;
}

Why are you disabling the button in setEditing:animated:? It won't respond to input after you do that. The UITableViewController will manage changing the button itself, so the following code should be fine:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;
}

- (void)setEditing:(BOOL)editing animated:(BOOL)animated {
    [super setEditing:editing animated:animated];
}

Oops. I didn't make it clear that the right bar button item was a button to add a cell to the table view, and the left bar button item was the edit button. Sorry about that. With the line of code you thought I was disabling the edit button item, I was really disabling the add button. Again, sorry about that.

I did overlook that there were two different buttons. The code you posted is pretty much the boilerplate code you get when you create a navigation based project in XCode, so I don't think the problem is there. The only thing I noticed is that you are not calling [super viewDidLoad] in your viewDidLoad method. However, I tried commenting that out on a test project and it didn't break the Edit button, so it doesn't seem likely that is the problem.

Yeah. I'm at a complete loss. I guess I'll end up having to manually stop the editing. It's a lot more work, but oh well.
