Question

I’ve successfuly subclassed ABTableViewCell for fast scrolling.
I really recommend it to anyone who’s making an app with big tableViews…

My problem with it is that when I tap a row, there is a small delay until it gets selected. I tried to put [cell setSelected:true] in the didSelectRowAtIndexPath method of the tableView, and it still lags. Has anyone experienced this as well with a ABTableViewCell subclass?

I didn’t have this issue using regular UITableViewCells.

Answer 1

A cell can be highlighted (on touchDown) or selected (on touchUp).

Code that came with ABTableViewCell:

if(self.selected) {
    backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    greyColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    blackColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
}

Had to replace it with:

if(self.highlighted || self.selected) {
    backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    greyColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    blackColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
}

And that killed the cell selection lag.
