How to change color of disclosure indicator of UITableVeiw Programmatically? [duplicate]

Answer 1

I know I'm late to the party but I just prepared a custom view that draws a disclosure view. I've quickly made it for a demo so it might not be extremely precise, it just does the job. Hope it helps someone:

PZDisclosureIndicator.h

#import 
#import 

@interface PZDisclosureIndicator : UIView
@property(nonatomic, strong) UIColor *color;

- (PZDisclosureIndicator *)initWithColor:(UIColor *)color;
@end

PZDisclosureIndicator.m:

#import "PZDisclosureIndicator.h"

@interface PZDisclosureIndicator ()

@property(nonatomic) CGFloat red;
@property(nonatomic) CGFloat green;
@property(nonatomic) CGFloat blue;
@property(nonatomic) CGFloat alpha;

@end

@implementation PZDisclosureIndicator

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
    CGContextSetRGBFillColor(context, self.red, self.green, self.blue, self.alpha);

    CGContextMoveToPoint(context, 4, 0);
    CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, 4, 0);
    CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, 16, 12);
    CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, 4, 24);
    CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, 0, 24 - 4);
    CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, 9, 12);
    CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, 0, 4);
    CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, 4, 0);
    CGContextFillPath(context);
}

- (PZDisclosureIndicator *)initWithColor:(UIColor *)color {
    self = [super initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 16, 24)];
    self.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

    self.color = color;
    [self setNeedsDisplay];

    return self;
}

- (void)setColor:(UIColor *)color {
    _color = color;

    [self.color getRed:&_red green:&_green blue:&_blue alpha:&_alpha];

    [self setNeedsDisplay];
}

@end

Then in my custom cell, I do this:

self.accessoryView = [[PZDisclosureIndicator alloc] initWithColor:SECONDARY_HIGHLIGHT_COLOR];

Theoretically you should be able to change its colour after initialisation too, haven't tried that.

Looks like this:
