selectedBackgroundView on UITableViewCell gets applied to all views in cell

Question

I have a table cell being displayed that shows a users image, name and some text. The user's image is 50x50, but I want a border around it so I set the view to center the image and set the frame to 52x52 and then set the background color of that view to my border color. That shows a 1 pixel border around the image.

I also want to show a 30 pixel wide border on the right of the cell when the cell is selected. I've tried to do that by creating a UIView the size of the cell's frame, then adding a subview to that view with a UIView the width and background color I would like. I then set that view to the selectedBackgroundView of the cell.

The problem here is that the cell's selectedBackgroundView gets applied to the background of all views inside the cell. So when I select a cell, the images "border" gets set to the cell's selected background color, the other 30px "border" I'm adding gets changed to that background color also.

Code inside my cellForRowAtIndexPath:

cell = (UserCellView *) currentObject;

UIView *c = [[UIView alloc ] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 30, cell.frame.size.height)];
c.backgroundColor = [[UIColor alloc] initWithRed:64/255.0 green:64/255.0 blue:64/255.0 alpha:1.0];

UIView *v = [[UIView alloc ] initWithFrame:cell.frame];             
v.backgroundColor = [[UIColor alloc] initWithRed:35/255.0 green:35/255.0 blue:35/255.0 alpha:1.0];              

[v addSubview:c];       

cell.selectedBackgroundView = v;

[c release];
[v release];

Answer 1

you will need to customize the contentView of the cells and handle the delegate tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath
