UITableView Cell selected Color?

Question

I have created a custom UITableViewCell. The table view is showing data fine. What I am stuck in is when user touches cell of tableview, then I want to show the background color of the cell other than the default [blue color] values for highlighting the selection of cell. I use this code but nothing happens:

cell.selectedBackgroundView.backgroundColor=[UIColor blackColor];

No need for custom cells. If you only want to change the selected color of the cell, you can do this:

Objective-C:

UIView *bgColorView = [[UIView alloc] init]; bgColorView.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor]; [cell setSelectedBackgroundView:bgColorView]; 

Swift:

let bgColorView = UIView() bgColorView.backgroundColor = UIColor.red cell.selectedBackgroundView = bgColorView
