UITableView Setting some cells as “unselectable”

Question

How can I set the UITableView\'s cell property to be unselectable? I don\'t want to see that blue selection box when the user taps on the cell.

Answer 1

Use tableView: willDisplayCell: forRowAtIndexPath: instead of tableView: didSelectRowAtIndexPath: to get rid of the flash that appears first time you touch the cell.

- (void) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
}
