Question

I have implemented cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone; both in:

-(NSIndexPath *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { }

and in:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { }

But each row keeps geting blue selection first time it is clicked. How can I disable the selection entirely?

The code goes like this (The cell is custom):

-(NSIndexPath *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath     *)indexPath
{    
    CategoryCell *cell = (CategoryCell*)[tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;  
    return nil;
}

Answer 1

Implement it in cellForRowAtIndexPath

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{

    //create cell
    cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;

   return cell;

}
