Changing background color of selected cell?

Question

Does anyone know how to change the background color of a cell using UITableViewCell, for each selected cell? I created this UITableViewCell inside the code for TableView.

Answer 1

Swift 3, 4, 5 select cell background colour

1) Change only highlighted colour when user click on cell:

1.1) Inside cell class:

override func awakeFromNib() {
    super.awakeFromNib()
    // Initialization code

    let backgroundView = UIView()
    backgroundView.backgroundColor = UIColor.init(white: 1.0, alpha: 0.1)
    selectedBackgroundView = backgroundView
}

1.2) Viewcontroller that you use customized cell

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    tableView.deselectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true)
}

2) If you to set colour for selected cells:

override func setSelected(_ selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
    super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)
    // Configure the view for the selected state

    if selected {
        self.backgroundColor = .darkGray
    } else {
        self.backgroundColor = .white
    }
}

Answer 2

This worked perfectly with grouped calls: Implement a custom subclass of UITableViewCell

This will respect corners and such...

- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super setSelected:selected animated:animated];

    if(selected)
        [self setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:(245/255.0) green:(255/255.0) blue:(255/255.0) alpha:1]];
    else
        [self setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];

}

Create a custom UITableViewCell. Inside you custom class override the "setSelected" function and change the contentView background color. You can also override you "setHighlighted" function.

In Swift:

class myTableViewCell: UITableViewCell {

    override func awakeFromNib() {
        super.awakeFromNib()
        // Initialization code
    }

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

        // Configure the view for the selected state
        // Add your color here
        self.contentView.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
    }

    override func setHighlighted(highlighted: Bool, animated: Bool) {
        // Add your color here
        self.contentView.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
    }
}

Answer 4

If you're talking about selected cells, the property is -selectedBackgroundView. This will be shown when the user selects your cell.

Answer 5

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

    if selected {
        self.contentView.backgroundColor = .black
    } else {
        self.contentView.backgroundColor = .white
    }
}

Answer 6

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didHighlightRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    UITableViewCell *cell = (UITableViewCell *)[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    cell.contentView.backgroundColor = [UIColor yellowColor];
}

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didUnhighlightRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    UITableViewCell *cell = (UITableViewCell *)[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    cell.contentView.backgroundColor = nil;
}
