Which is the best way to change the color/view of disclosure indicator accessory view in a table view cell in iOS?

Question

I need to change the color of the disclosureIndicatorView accessory in a UITableViewCell. I think there are two ways to get this done, but I\'m not

Answer 1

But I guess adding a new UIView object to every row might turn out to be a heavy obj allocation and decreasing the frame rate. As compared to just a UIImage object in my contentView. I believe UIImage is lighter than UIView.

Drawing an image directly will almost certainly have better performance than adding a subview. You have to determine if that extra performance is necessary. I've used a few accessory views for custom disclosure indicators on basic cells and performance was fine. However, if you're already doing custom drawing for the content rect, it might not be that difficult to do the accessory view also.
