How to change the cell title color when selected in UITableView

Question

HI, I am using a UITableView to display listings. I have customized it and have added 4 UILabels in the cell, but when the row is selected then the row selection color (customized to green) and Label text color (also a green) remains same. So, it becomes difficult to see the text of cell. I want to change the color of labels to white when row is selected otherwise green.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,

Answer 1

Look at the highlightedTextColor property on the labels. Set that to white and it should do what you want.

Answer 2

If you’re subclassing UITableViewCell, there’s always the -setSelected:animated: method to override.
