How can i assign an action to rightbarbuttonitem with an edit style?

I have an edit rightbarbuttonitem in my view in navigation bar. I set it up with the help of storyboard/IB, not programmatically. Now, all i want is to assign an action when the "done" barbuttonitem is pressed (not edit).

Is there a way to achieve it? I tried manually through -(IBAction), but it's not working. Also, i want to perform the action on selected items in UITableView. So if you give me an idea, it would be great.

That button calls the method 

- (void)setEditing:(BOOL)editing animated:(BOOL)animated

You can implement it and it will get called everytime your edit/done button gets tapped. All you have to do is check the button's title property to see when it's showing done and when it's showing edit

If you declared your button as an IBOutlet then all you'd need to do is use the synthesised variable on your .m as so:

_yourBarButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemAdd target:self action:@selector(runMethod)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = _yourBarButton;

Then you'd have to declare your run method:

-(void)runMethod
{
    //do stuff
}
