Highlight the borders of the selected cell in UITableView

Question

Is there any possibility to highlighting the borders of the selected cell in a UITableViewController in Objective-c?

Answer 1

You can try to make an custom UIView/UIImageView for the selection with setSelectedBackgroundView:

Here is a example code I use for custom gradient in a custom tableviewcell:

UIView *selctionView = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.bounds.size.width, self.bounds.size.height)] autorelease];

CAGradientLayer *gradient = [CAGradientLayer layer];
gradient.frame = selctionView.bounds;
gradient.colors = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:(id)[[UIColor blueColor] CGColor], (id)[[UIColor redColor] CGColor], nil];

[selctionView.layer insertSublayer:gradient atIndex:0];

[self setSelectedBackgroundView:selctionView];

EDIT:

I found out that you also can use the methods:

[test.layer setBorderColor: [[UIColor redColor] CGColor]];
[test.layer setBorderWidth: 1.0]; 

for the layer.

be sure to import QuartzCore.h

else for the whole tableview:

[tableViewController.tableView setSeparatorColor:[UIColor redColor]];
