Question

When a table cell is selected it gets highlighted in a blue color. I’d like to prevent this happening.

I tried doing this

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{    
[tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:NO];
}

But it goes blue for a second before the blue disappears. Is there a way I can avoid it appearing blue? I’d like to do something custom to the table cell instead.

Many Thanks,

UITableViewCell has three selection styles:-

1. Blue

2. Gray

3. None

Implementation is as follows:-

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

     [cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone];       
}
