I am making an app in which I am showing my data in a UITableView. I am stuck. I want to change the colour of the selected cell. How to do this?
Below is my code in -didSelectRowAtIndexPath
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSLog(#"the messageid==%#",[[self.inboxmessagesarray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row ] objectForKey:#"messageId"]);
manage.messageid=[[self.inboxmessagesarray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row ] objectForKey:#"messageId"]; // here i pass the value to singleton class
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"segueIdentifier" sender:tableView];
}

Answer 1

Update your code as mentioned below:
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSLog(#"the messageid==%#",[[self.inboxmessagesarray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row ] objectForKey:#"messageId"]);
manage.messageid = [[self.inboxmessagesarray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row ] objectForKey:#"messageId"]; // here i pass the value to singleton class
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"segueIdentifier" sender:tableView];
// Add this line to set selected default gray style
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleGray;
}
Use selectionStyle property to get cell highlighed. For more details refer UITableViewCellSelectionStyle

May be this will be useful to u...
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
UIView *selectedRowColor = [[UIView alloc] init];
selectedRowColor.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
cell.selectedBackgroundView = selectedRowColor;
}

Answer 3

in your cellForRowAtIndexPath has two options for selection only Blue and another one is Gray
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *) indexPath
{
/// here your cell identifier name and details
UIView *changeselectionColor = [[UIView alloc] init];
changeselectionColor.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:(245.0/255.0) green:(245.0/255.0) blue:(245.0/255.0) alpha:1]; // change the RGB as you like
cell.selectedBackgroundView = changeselectionColor;
//...... here add your cell details.. //
}
or in another choice no 2 call this method
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
UIView * changeselectionColor = [[UIView alloc] init];
changeselectionColor.backgroundColor = [UIColor GreenColor];
cell.selectedBackgroundView = changeselectionColor;
}
