setAccessoryType destroys TableViewCell - ios

Question

I use a custom tablecell, labels and images are connected with tags.
If i add
[cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator]
it destroys my tableview. the image destroys and the background-color.
here are the differences:
Does anyone have any idea where the problem could be?
Thanks

You need to set the background color of the cell, rather than the contentView, but this doesn't work in cellForRowAtIndexPath. It needs to be in willDisplayCell:forRowAtIndexPath:
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
cell.backgroundColor = indexPath.row % 2? [UIColor colorWithRed:228.0/255.0 green:244.0/255.0 blue:199.0/255.0 alpha:1]:[UIColor whiteColor];
}
As far as the images getting squashed, that has to do with the size of your subviews, and their constraints. I think you can fix those by giving width constraints to two of your labels (a pair over and under each other), but make their priority <1000, so when the accessory view is added, the width of those labels will get smaller. Also give the image view on the left a fixed width.
