UITableViewCell Set Selected Image

Question

trying to figure out how to set the selected image for for a tableViewCell .

The old way of writing this was cell.selectedImage but that has been deprecated since 3.0.

I've tried numerous things, but can't get it too work.

Thanks! Josh

Answer 1

According to the Deprecated UITableViewCell Methods doc, you should use the imageView's highlightedImage property as a replacement for selectedImage. For example:

UITableViewCell *cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:nil];
cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"deselected_image.png"];
cell.imageView.highlightedImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"selected_image.png"];

Answer 2

You can set selected backgroundView like below....

        UIImageView *selBGView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"urimage.png"]];
                cell.selectedBackgroundView = selBGView;

Answer 3

That didn't worked because you might set the normal state image like this

cell.imageView.image = ///

Try it - It worked for me perfectly!!

UIImageView *selBGView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"urimage_selected.png"]];
 cell.selectedBackgroundView = selBGView;
[selBGView release];

UIImageView *BGView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"urimage.png"]];
 cell.backgroundView = BGView;
[BGView release];

Answer 4

Try this ...

    UIImage *bgImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"icon_call.png"];
    UIImageView *bgImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:bgImage];

    [bgImageView setFrame:CGRectMake(280, 2, 30, 38)];

//Finally give this imageView to the cell

     [cell.contentView addSubview:bgImageView];

Hope it will solve your problem !

Use this one!:

selectionBackground = [UIImage imageNamed:@"background.png"];
cell.selectedBackgroundView =[[UIImageView alloc] init];
((UIImageView *)cell.selectedBackgroundView).image = selectionBackground;
