Question

I have following issue: I have a UITableView.If you click on a cell, a button is added on cell. No Problem till now… but: After adding button i want the TableView (after its reload) to select the just edited (or added) TableCell.
I’ve tried this in cellForRowAtIndexPath method

if (bool) {
[cell setSelected:YES animated:YES];
 }
    UIView *bgColorView = [[UIView alloc] init];
        [bgColorView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:34/255.0 green:139/255.0 blue:34/255.0 alpha:1.0]];
        [cell setSelectedBackgroundView:bgColorView];
        [bgColorView release];
        return cell;

But it didn’t work.
Any suggestion or sample code would be appreciated. Thanks .

For the standard selection you use the following method, described at UITableView reference docs
- (void)selectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath animated:(BOOL)animated scrollPosition:(UITableViewScrollPosition)scrollPosition

Your design might be improved if you use the custom cell storing information of selection count, that is much better than reloading the table and adding a lot of cell logic outside of the cell.
