UITableViewCell在iPhone和iPad上的工作方式有所不同

Question

Folks it appears that setSelected:animated: works differently on iPhone and iPad, even in simulator. Consider the code below:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    UITableViewCell* cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    if (cell.accessoryType == UITableViewCellAccessoryNone)  {
            //[cell setSelected:NO animated:YES]; works only on iPhone, but not on iPad
              [tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES]; //works everywhere
    return;
    }

    [self.navigationController pushViewController:someViewController animated:YES];

}

it appears this line works only on iPhones

[cell setSelected:NO animated:YES];

I was wondering if anybody could provide some information on setSelected:animated: method's limitations?

Answer 1

I think that's by design on iPads since UITableViews aren't really intended to be used outside of UISplitViewControllers.

If using a UITableView in viewControllers[0] consider how the UITableViewCell will remain to be selected while the user is interacting with the UIViewController in viewControllers[1].

edit

I can't support this at all... I looked it up in the HIG and it says nothing like what I mentioned.
