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 was able to solve this problem by creating a subclass of UITableViewCell and implementing the setSelected:animated: method

- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated {
    [super setSelected:selected animated:animated];

    // Configure the view for the selected state
    if(selected) {
        [self setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone];
        [self setBackgroundColor:[UIColor greenColor]];
    } else {
        [self setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
    }
}

The trick was setting the

cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleDefault;

in the implementing view controller and then in the tableViewCell setting it as

[self setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone];

Hope this helps. :)
