How to make cell transparent on selection

Question

I have a custom UITableView with its clearColor background. I'm setting the cell's backgroundView to a transparent UIImageView and setting the background image view's backgroundColor to [UIColor clearColor]. I'm also setting the cell's backgroundColor to [UIColor clearColor].

I want to make cell.backgroundview as transparent on selection. How to do that?

Answer 1

you can explicitly set a selectedBackgroundView property of the cell with a semitransparent or transparent content (UIimageview) so that i will not become opaque on selection

Answer 3

In your Cell creation :

cell.selectedBackgroundView =[[UIImageView alloc] init];
((UIImageView *)cell.selectedBackgroundView).image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"your transparent UIImage"];

or:

 UIView *v = [[UIView alloc] init];
 v.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
 cell.selectedBackgroundView = v;
