Question

I got an easy one for you. I’m trying to keep the default behavior when a user is coming back from a view after selecting a tableviewcell. Typically the cell will remain blue for a moment to show the user where that selected row was, but I forget how to customize that. Lets say for simplistic purposes all my cells are green by default and become red when you select them.

- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated {
    if (selected) {
        self.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
    } else {
        self.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
    }
}

When the user selects the back button, the cell does not show the user their last selected cell, red in this case. I remember there being a variable I could use to customize that in the controller, but I can’t remember what it was. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Answer 1

The property and method I was looking for was:

self.clearsSelectionOnViewWillAppear = YES;
[self.tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:[self.tableView indexPathForSelectedRow] animated:YES];

Thanks for those who replied.
