Draw a Custom cell for tableview (UITableView), with changed colors and separator color and width_问答_开发者

I want to draw the background of a UITableViewCell which has a grouped style. The problem with me is I am not able to call the -(void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect or I think it should be called programmatically...

I have taken code from following link .

How to customize the background/border colors of a grouped table view cell?

}

but the problem is my drawRect is not getting called automatically...

I am doing it like this.

CustomCellBackgroundView *custView = [[CustomCellBackgroundView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,320,44)];
[cell setBackgroundView:custView];
[custView release];

and doing this gives me transparent cell.

If you are targeting iPhone OS 3.0+, all you need to do is this:

cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];

Substituting whatever UIColor you actually want, of course. The background color will be clipped automatically to the rounded rectangle bounds of the grouped table view cell.

HI GUYS,

I have got this code working....

just did this.....

In CustomCellBackGroundView

- (BOOL) isOpaque {
    return NO;
}



- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame{
    if (self = [super initWithFrame:frame]) {
        [self setFillColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:0.07 green:.23 blue:.48 alpha:0.5]];
        [self setBorderColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:0.8 green:0.8 blue:1.0 alpha:0.5]];
        [self setClearsContextBeforeDrawing:YES];
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)setNeedsDisplay{
    [self setNeedsDisplayInRect:self.frame];
}

and in ur UITableViewController class just do this.....

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
    static NSString *MyIdentifier = @"My Identifier";
    UITableViewCell *cell=[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:MyIdentifier];
    if(cell==nil){

        cell = [self reuseTableViewCellWithIdentifier:MyIdentifier indexPath:indexPath];

        [cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator];

        [cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleGray];
    }

    CustomCellBackgroundView *custview = [[CustomCellBackgroundView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 35)];

    if(([tbleView numberOfRowsInSection:indexPath.section]-1) == 0){
        custview.position = CustomCellBackgroundViewPositionTop;
    }
    else if(indexPath.row == 0){
        custview.position = CustomCellBackgroundViewPositionTop;
    }
    else if (indexPath.row == ([tbleView numberOfRowsInSection:indexPath.section]-1)){
        custview.position  = CustomCellBackgroundViewPositionBottom;
    }
    else{
        custview.position = CustomCellBackgroundViewPositionMiddle;
    }
    [cell setBackgroundView:custview];
    [custview release];


    UILabel *lbl = (UILabel *)[cell.contentView viewWithTag:101];



        [lbl setText:@"Hurray and thanks to all folks"];

    //[cell setNeedsDisplay];
    return cell;
}

remeber dont do this in (cell==nil) block and give special thanks to all folks at

How to customize the background/border colors of a grouped table view cell?

I have to agree with Sbrocket.

You need two lines of code. Four lines if you want to use a custom color for the line separator and border.

// For cell background
 cell.backgroundColor=[UIColor lightGrayColor];

// For tableView line separator (assuming IBOutlet UITableView* table;)
self.table.separatorColor=[UIColor redColor];

//If you need a custom color (I assume you do), then...
 cell.backgroundColor=[UIColor colorWithRed:(CGFloat)red green:(CGFloat)green blue:(CGFloat)blue alpha:(CGFloat)alpha];

Drop in the RGB value for any color you like for both the cell background and line separator.

Couldn't be easier.
