Why does uitableview Cell remain highlighted?

What wowould cause a tableview cell to remain highlighted after being touched? I click the cell and can see it stays highlighted as a Detail View is pushed. Once the Detail View is popped, the cell is still highlighted.

In your didselectrowatindexpath you need to call deselectrowatindexpath to deselect the cell.

So whatever else you are doing in didselectrowatindexpath you just have it call deselectrowatindexpath as well.

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { // Do some stuff when the row is selected [tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];}

I prefer calling deselectRowAtIndexPathIn my viewdidappear, if select the row brings up a new view. -notnoop Dec 3 '09 at actually that is not the right place to call it, really... try using an Apple App with tables (contacts is a good one) and you'll see after you push out to a new screen, on return the cell is still highlighted briefly before being deselected. in theory I think you do not have to do any extra work to have it deselect right away on its own, so code in viewdidappear shoshould not be needed... -Kendall helmstetter Gelner dec 3'09 at 20:40 @ Kendall, @ 4 thspace: Maybe my last comment was confusing as to who I was referring to, apologies for that. uitableviewcontroller cballs -deselectRowAtIndexPath:animated:Method on its tableview property from -viewDidAppear. However, if you have a table view in a uiviewcontroller subclass, you showould call -deselectRowAtIndexPath:animated:From -viewDidAppearYourself. :)-Daniel Tull dec 4'09 at in my subclass of uitableviewcontroller it was actually an override -viewWillAppear:That broke it. Adding a call [super viewWillAppear:animated]Got it working again.-Ben Challenor Jul 6 '11 at since 3.2, the automatic deselection behaviour occurs if your UITableViewController'S clearsSelectionOnViewWillAppearProperty is set YES(Which is the default), and you haven't prevented [super viewWillAppear]From being called.-defragged Oct 31 '11 at 10: 26 the most clean way to do it is on viewwillappear:

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated{    [super viewWillAppear:animated];    // Unselect the selected row if any    NSIndexPath*    selection = [self.tableView indexPathForSelectedRow];    if (selection) {        [self.tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:selection animated:YES];    }}

This way you have the animation of fading out the selection when you return to the Controller, as it shoshould be.
