ios - Cannot change UITableView blue highlight color

Question

I set:

cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleGray;

and use the code to highlight a row:

NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection: 0];
[self.tableView selectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:NO scrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionNone

The highlight color always blue even I set to gray. If I set:

cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;

it works fine and no highlight. But just not work with:

cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleGray;

It just show blue color instead of gray color. Any idea? Thanks.

Implement it as follows:-

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

     [cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleGray];       
}

OR

Set the selectedBackgroundView's color as what you want in your custom tableview cell (which is a subclass of UITableViewCell):

UIView * selectedBackgroundView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:self.frame];
[selectedBackgroundView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]]; // set color here
[self setSelectedBackgroundView:selectedBackgroundView];

or you can configure it in -tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: method:

//...
[cell setSelectedBackgroundView:selectedBackgroundView];
//...
