Subclassed UItableViewCell selection - ios

Question

I have subclassed a UITableViewCell so that I can increase the scrolling performance which has worked out great for me so far.
In my subclass I have a method called seSelected that looks like this
- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated
{
[super setSelected:selected animated:animated];
// Configure the view for the selected state
if (selected) {
self.backgroundColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
}else{
self.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
}
}
I would like to know how to make it so that if I touch the same cell it deselects the cell and changes the color back to white? I have tried a few different if statments in setSelected but nothings working.

Answer 1

Use this delegate method
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
and call here method which manage selected and unselected cell.

Answer 2

One approach could be to set the tag on the cell and then use it to set the background color.
typedef enum {
CellSelected = 0,
CellDeselected
} CellSelection;
While creating the cell set the tag to "CellDeselected"
cell.tag = CellDeselected;
And then when cell is tapped just check which color you want to set in the background.
switch (customCell.tag) {
case CellSelected:
self.backgroundColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
break;
case CellDeselected:
self.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
break;
default:
break;
}
customCell.tag = !customCell.tag;

Do like this...
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
str = [YourArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];//str is a string variable
}
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSString *cellIndentifier = #"cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIndentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleValue1 reuseIdentifier:cellIndentifier];
}
cell.textLabel.text = [reminder objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
if ([str isEqualToString:[reminder objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]])
{
cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor grayColor];
}
return cell;
}
You can use for this for your custom cell.....

Answer 4

use UITableViewCell method: [cell setSelectedBackgroundView:myBgColorView];.
Apple Documentation.
Example:
UIView *myBgColorView = [[UIView alloc] init];
myBgColorView.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
[cell setSelectedBackgroundView:myBgColorView];

Answer 5

set cell style:
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
and your code will work. But, you set color only selected cell.
If you need set color when cell is pressed, override this method:
- (void)setHighlighted:(BOOL)highlighted animated:(BOOL)animated
