Change background cell on tableView?

Question

I want change background of all cells in a tableView, I have used initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleValue1 how type of cell, (because I want this type but background is white) I do not want to change the background of Tableview but only the cell, is this possible?

Answer 1

That style of table cell consists of two labels, one with the main text on the left, and a second with blue text on the right.

Try setting the background colors of the label cells:

tableCell.textLabel.backgroundColor = ...
tableCell.detailTextLabel.backgroundColor = ...

Edit: You also need to set the background color of the tableCell's contentView.

tableCell.contentView.backgroundColor = ...

Edit 2: The following code also ensures that the background color extends to the accessory

UIColor *bgColor = [UIColor greenColor];
tableCell.textLabel.text = @"abc";
tableCell.textLabel.backgroundColor = bgColor;

tableCell.detailTextLabel.text = @"def";
tableCell.detailTextLabel.backgroundColor = bgColor;

tableCell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;

tableCell.backgroundView = [[[UIView alloc] init] autorelease];
tableCell.backgroundView.backgroundColor = bgColor;
