Iphone cell selection style

Question

By default, in the form of an iphone table, there are three selection styles.

gray - blue - no.

I do not need gray or blue.

I want to customize my user interface.

For example, in a normal situation, the cell should have aaaaa.png background.

& The selected cell must have a background of "bbbbb.png".

I tried applying cell.backgroundView and cell.selectedBackground. However, it does not work.

If you have any ideas about this, please help me.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

Three lines of code are here, but you don't need an image!

UIView *selectedBackgroundViewForCell = [UIView new];
[selectedBackgroundViewForCell setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
theCell.selectedBackgroundView = selectedBackgroundViewForCell;

Answer 2

Here is one way to do this with only one line of code:

cell.selectedBackgroundView = [[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"pink.png"]] autorelease];

, .

Answer 3

I tried to follow and it worked.

-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {    
NSString *CellIdentifier = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%i",indexPath.row];
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
    XML_FitnessPrograms *t=[arrayPrograms objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    cell=((indexPath.row%2)==0) ? 
    [self getCellContentView:CellIdentifier program_name:t.program_name alterNate:NO indexPath:indexPath] :
    [self getCellContentView:CellIdentifier program_name:t.program_name alterNate:YES indexPath:indexPath] ;
    CGRect a=CGRectMake(8, 0, 300, 44);
    UIImageView *aImg=[[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:a];
    UIImageView *bImg=[[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:a];
    aImg.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"white-rect-tab.png"]; //arrow.png
    bImg.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"white-rect-tab-copy.png"];
    [aImg setContentMode:UIViewContentModeScaleToFill];
    [bImg setContentMode:UIViewContentModeScaleToFill];
    cell.backgroundView=aImg;
    cell.selectedBackgroundView=bImg;
    [aImg release];
    [bImg release];
}
return cell;
}

-(UITableViewCell*)getCellContentView:(NSString*)cellIdentifier program_name:(NSString*)program_name alterNate:(BOOL)alterNate indexPath:(NSIndexPath*)indexPath
{

    UITableViewCell *cell; UILabel *tmp;
    CGRect label1Frame=CGRectMake(5, 0, 260, 44);
    cell=[[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier] autorelease];
    cell.frame=CGRectMake(8, 0, 280, 44);
    cell.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
    tmp=[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:label1Frame]; 
    tmp.textColor=[UIColor colorWithRed:(9.0/255.0) green:(68.0/255) blue:(85.0/255) alpha:1.0];
    [tmp setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial-BoldMT" size:15]];  
        tmp.text=program_name;                   
        [tmp setShadowColor:[UIColor lightGrayColor]];
    tmp.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor]; 
        [cell.contentView addSubview:tmp]; [tmp release];
    [cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleGray];
    return cell;
}
