How to set a tableview cell's border and color when selected - objective-c

Question

I have the following code that sets sets a red border around a custom table view cell with white in the middle when it is selected.
- (void)awakeFromNib
{
self.nameLabel.highlightedTextColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
// Set selected background view
UIView *backgroundView = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:self.bounds];
backgroundView.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor redColor] CGColor];
backgroundView.layer.borderWidth = 10.0f;
self.selectedBackgroundView = backgroundView;
// Set the content view
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(self.bounds.origin.x+5, self.bounds.origin.y+5, self.bounds.size.width-10, self.bounds.size.height-10);
UIImageView *myImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
[self addSubview:myImageView];
self.imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill ;
self.imageView.clipsToBounds = YES;
[self.contentView addSubview:self.imageView];
}
I want the opposite: how would you create a cell that has red with a white border / padding?

Answer 1

You can use
[cell.contentView.layer setBorderColor:[UIColor redColor].CGColor];
[cell.contentView.layer setBorderWidth:2.0f];
Hope this will help you

Answer 2

try this in custom cell there is a method - (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated use this to change the state of selected and deselect state for example
- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated
{
[super setSelected:selected animated:animated];
if(selected)
{
self.contentView.layer.cornerRadius = 10.0f;
self.contentView.layer.borderWidth = 5.0f;
self.contentView.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
self.contentView.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
self.contentView.layer.borderColor = [UIColor whiteColor].CGColor;
}
else
{
self.contentView.layer.cornerRadius = 10.0f;
self.contentView.layer.borderWidth = 5.0f;
self.contentView.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
self.contentView.layer.borderColor = [UIColor redColor].CGColor;
}
// Configure the view for the selected state
}
and also set customCell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone; for cell while creating the cell

why don't you try doing just the opposite such as this
UIView *backgroundView = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:self.bounds];
backgroundView.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor whiteColor] CGColor];
backgroundView.layer.borderWidth = 10.0f;
self.selectedBackgroundView = backgroundView;
// Set the content view
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(self.bounds.origin.x+5, self.bounds.origin.y+5, self.bounds.size.width-10, self.bounds.size.height-10);
UIImageView *myImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
myImageView.backgroundcolor=[UIColor redColor];
[self addSubview:myImageView];
self.imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill ;
self.imageView.clipsToBounds = YES;
[self.contentView addSubview:self.imageView];
