Changing background color of selected cell?

Question

Does anyone know how to change the background color of a cell using UITableViewCell, for each selected cell? I created this UITableViewCell inside the code for TableView.

Answer 1

I have a highly customized UITableViewCell. So I implemented my own cell selection.

cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;

I created a method in my cell's class:

- (void)highlightCell:(BOOL)highlight
{
    if (highlight) {
        self.contentView.backgroundColor = RGB(0x355881);
        _bodyLabel.textColor = RGB(0xffffff);
        _fromLabel.textColor = RGB(0xffffff);
        _subjectLabel.textColor = RGB(0xffffff);
        _dateLabel.textColor = RGB(0xffffff);
    }
    else {
        self.contentView.backgroundColor = RGB(0xf7f7f7);;
        _bodyLabel.textColor = RGB(0xaaaaaa);
        _fromLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
        _subjectLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
        _dateLabel.textColor = RGB(0x496487);
    }
}

In my UITableViewController class in ViewWillAppear added this:

NSIndexPath *tableSelection = [self.tableView indexPathForSelectedRow];
SideSwipeTableViewCell *cell = (SideSwipeTableViewCell*)[self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:tableSelection];
[cell highlightCell:NO];

In didSelectRow added this:

SideSwipeTableViewCell *cell = (SideSwipeTableViewCell*)[self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
[cell highlightCell:YES];
