Question

I place a single table view cell on my view using interface builder and add an accessory type, a selection color and enable user interaction.

However when I click on the cell nothing happens.

Why isn’t the whole cell highlighted, how to achieve this?

Answer 1

1. In Interface Builder: select custom cell, set option Selection to Gray or Blue.

2. Programmatically : set property of cell selectionStyle to UITableViewCellSelectionStyleBlue or UITableViewCellSelectionStyleGray.

3. Also you can set custom selection color:

   cell.selectedBackgroundView = [[[UIView alloc] init] autorelease];

   cell.selectedBackgroundView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:CC(213) green:CC(221) blue:CC(232) alpha:1.0];
