Transparent UITableViewCell flashing background when animating

Question

I have a UIViewController with a custom background color. On top of it there\'s a UITableView with UITableViewCells that are semi-transpar

Answer 1

1. Create a subclass of UITableViewCell(Such as named: CustomCell), and override the method in CustomCell.m :

   - (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder{
       self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder];
       if(self){
           // Initialization code
           [self setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
           UIView * bgView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:self.frame];
           [bgView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithWhite:1 alpha:0.5]];
           [self addSubview:bgView];
       }
       return self;
   }
   

2. Remove willDisplayCell method in MasterViewController.m

   - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
   {
       cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:1 alpha:0.5];
   }
   

3. Change the cellForRowAtIndexPath method in MasterViewController.m

   - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
   {
       CustomCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"Cell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
       [self configureCell:cell atIndexPath:indexPath];
       return cell;
   }
   

4. Change the cell's class type in storyboard

Just have a try :D
