UITableViewCell background size
- by quano
I'm trying to set the size of my background to be a little shorter than the default, creating some space between the cells. This has proven to be difficult. Setting the frame of the background view seems to do nothing:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSString *reuseIdentifier = @"cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [self.tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
if (!cell)
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier] autorelease];
// Set up the cell...
cell.contentView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
cell.backgroundView = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 4, 320, 42)] autorelease];
cell.backgroundView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
cell.backgroundView.alpha = .2;
cell.selectedBackgroundView = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 4, 320, 42)] autorelease];
cell.selectedBackgroundView.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
cell.selectedBackgroundView.alpha = .2;
cell.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"MarkerFelt-Thin" size:22.0f];
cell.selectedTextColor = [UIColor blackColor];
cell.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
NSDictionary *dict = [files objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.text = [dict objectForKey:@"name"];
return cell;
}
Any help?
Also, setting the selected background view doesn't do anything. When a cell is selected, the background is completely blank. Why is this?
I'm using iPhone OS 2.2.1.
I also do this:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone;
self.tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
self.tableView.rowHeight = 50.0f;
}
