Question

this weird thing is happening with my uitableview cell selection style, Instead of changing the color of the cell on selection its making the label in the cell disappear. I have no idea how to fix it.

this is the code I am using inside didSelectRowAtIndexPath

cellActivityIndicator = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleGray];
    [cell setAccessoryView:cellActivityIndicator];
    [cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleGray];

Answer 1

in didSelectRowAtIndexPath

UIActivityIndicatorView *cellActivityIndicator = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleGray];
[cellActivityIndicator setCenter:CGPointMake(20, 20)];
[cellActivityIndicator startAnimating];
[cell addSubview:cellActivityIndicator];

where, here [cellActivityIndicator setCenter:CGPointMake(20, 20)]; you enter position indicator in cell.

and in cellForRowAtIndexPath

[cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleGray];
