Altering selected state for UITableViewCell - objective-c

Question

I've got a standard UITableView where each cell is a custom UIView. Everything works fine, except when the cell is selected, it turns blue (as expected) but the UIView is hidden!
How can I change the contents of the view to be visible when the cell is selected?
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView
dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc]
initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault
reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
UIView *containerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 100)];
UILabel *headerLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 5, 300, 40)];
[headerLabel setText:[[[todayCollection events]objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]name]];
[headerLabel setFont:[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:22]];
headerLabel.highlightedTextColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
UILabel *venueLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 40, 300, 20)];
[venueLabel setText:[[[[todayCollection events]objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]venue]name]];
[venueLabel setFont:[UIFont italicSystemFontOfSize:16]];
LBVenueBadge *venueBadge = [[LBVenueBadge alloc] initWithGenre:[[[todayCollection events]objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]genre] frame:CGRectMake(85, 73, 100, 20)];
UIImageView *pinImage = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 75, 18, 18)];
[pinImage setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"193-location-arrow.png"]];
UILabel *distanceLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(30, 75, 100, 15)];
[distanceLabel setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:12]];
NSString *distanceString = [[[[todayCollection events]objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]venue]distanceString];
if([[[[todayCollection events]objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]performances]count] == 1)
{
UILabel *performanceLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(200, 75, 50, 15)];
[performanceLabel setText:[[[[[todayCollection events]objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]performances]objectAtIndex:0]time]];
[performanceLabel setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[performanceLabel setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:12]];
[containerView addSubview:performanceLabel];
}else{
UILabel *performanceLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(200, 75, 50, 15)];
[performanceLabel setText:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i shows", [[[[todayCollection events]objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]performances]count]]];
[performanceLabel setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[performanceLabel setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:12]];
[containerView addSubview:performanceLabel];
}
[distanceLabel setText:distanceString];
[containerView addSubview:pinImage];
[distanceLabel setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[containerView addSubview:distanceLabel];
[headerLabel setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[containerView addSubview:headerLabel];
[venueLabel setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[containerView addSubview:venueLabel];
[containerView addSubview:venueBadge];
if(indexPath.row % 2 == 0)
{
[containerView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:0.239 green:0.239 blue:0.232 alpha:0.05]];
}else{
[containerView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:0.239 green:0.239 blue:0.232 alpha:0.02]];
}
cell.backgroundView = containerView;
[cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator];
return cell;
}
Thanks,

Answer 1

As the contentView property is readonly, I can add a subview to it instead.
[cell.contentView addSubview:containerView];

Answer 2

You are adding views to the background rather than the contentView of the cell replace this line.
cell.backgroundView = containerView;
with
[cell.contentView addSubview:containerView];
