UITableViewCell selected row's text color change

Solution 1:

Do this in tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath::

cell.textLabel.highlightedTextColor = [UIColor redColor];

(And don't use cell.text = ... anymore. It has been deprecated for almost 2 years now. Use cell.textLabel.text = ... instead.)

As Raphael Oliveira mentioned in the comments, if the selectionStyle of your cell equals UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone this won't work. Check Storyboard as well for the selection style.

Solution 2:

If you want to change the text colour only, with out changing cell background colour. you can use this.Write this code in in cellForRowAtIndexPath method

UIView *selectionColor = [[UIView alloc] init];
selectionColor.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
cell.selectedBackgroundView = selectionColor;
cell.textLabel.highlightedTextColor = [UIColor redColor];

Solution 3:

I had the same problem, try this!

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{

    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    for (id object in cell.superview.subviews) {
        if ([object isKindOfClass:[UITableViewCell class]]) {
            UITableViewCell *cellNotSelected = (UITableViewCell*)object;
            cellNotSelected.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
        }
    }

    cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor redColor];

    [tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:NO];
}

That may be the solution to your (and mine) problem.
