Why do all backgrounds disappear on UITableViewCell select?

by

What is happening is that each subview inside the TableViewCell will receive the setSelected and setHighlighted methods. The setSelected method will remove background colors but if you set it for the selected state it will be corrected.

For example if those are UILabels added as subviews in your customized cell, then you can add this to the setSelected method of your TableViewCell implementation code:

- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super setSelected:selected animated:animated];

    self.textLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];

}

where self.textLabel would be whatever those labels are that are shown in the picture above

I’m not sure where your adding your selected view, I usually add it in the setSelected method.

Alternatively, you can subclass the UILabel and override the setHighlighted method like so:

-(void)setHighlighted:(BOOL)highlighted
{
    [self setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
}
