UITableViewCell selectedBackgroundView's color not visible when building on iOS 13

Question

I have given a tableview cell a color on selection in cellForRowAtIndexPath using

    let backgroundView = UIView()
    backgroundView.backgroun         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem, my solutions is:

TableViewController:

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "testCell")! as! TestCell

    // Turn off selection style for iOS12, iOS11, etc...  
    cell.selectionStyle = .none

    return cell
}

Cell Class (I have a UIView inside cell's ContentView):

class TestCell: UITableViewCell {

    @IBOutlet weak var testCellBackgroundView: UIView!

    override func setSelected(_ selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
        super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)

        if selected {
            contentView.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
            testCellBackgroundView.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
        } else { 
            contentView.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
            testCellBackgroundView.backgroundColor = UIColor.green // default background color
        }
    }

    // You may change highlighted color of a cell the same way
    override func setHighlighted(_ highlighted: Bool, animated: Bool) {
        super.setHighlighted(highlighted, animated: animated)

        if highlighted {
            contentView.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
            testCellBackgroundView.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
        } else {
            contentView.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
            testCellBackgroundView.backgroundColor = UIColor.green
        }
    }   
}
