Custom Cell Selected - iphone

Question

I am drawing a custom cell, to achieve a certain look I want. However, I want to perform a different drawing based on if the cell is select. I really do not just want the default colors.
I changed content's views background color the view in this method:
- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated
However, it just did not appear correctly, mainly it did not take into account the accessary and just colored it until the accessory indicator. Is there a better way to accomplish this?
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
// Background
CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(context, CELL_BACKGROUND_COLOR);
CGContextMoveToPoint(context, 0.0f, 0.0f);
CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, rect.size.width, 0.0f);
CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, rect.size.width, rect.size.height);
CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, 0.0f, rect.size.height);
CGContextClosePath(context);
CGContextFillPath(context);
// Top line
CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(context, CELL_TOP_LINE_COLOR);
CGContextSetLineWidth(context, CELL_LINE_WIDTH);
CGContextSetLineCap(context, kCGLineCapSquare);
CGContextMoveToPoint(context, 0.0f, 0.0f);
CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, rect.size.width, 0.0f);
CGContextStrokePath(context);
//Bottom line
CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(context, CELL_BOTTOM_LINE_COLOR);
CGContextSetLineWidth(context, CELL_LINE_WIDTH);
CGContextSetLineCap(context, kCGLineCapSquare);
CGContextMoveToPoint(context, 0.0f, rect.size.height);
CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, rect.size.width, rect.size.height);
CGContextStrokePath(context);
}

I think you should modify your drawRect method and change how your color are set depending of the isSelected property. Changing the content's view background when the setSelected method will probably don't change anything since it will be overriding by the drawRect method.

I'm using this :
if(self.highlighted || self.selected) {
//set text color
textColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:204.0/255.0 green:255.0/255.0 blue:0 alpha:1.0];
//set background color
[[UIColor colorWithRed:0.0 green:0.0 blue:0.0 alpha:0.7] set];
CGContextFillRect(context, r);
}
Also check selectionStyleproperty of your cell.

I found a solution that works great, it also draws underneath the default accessory views, like the accessory indicator. I created custom view's called BackgroundView and SelectedBackgroundView, I just use the drawRect method to create a custom drawing. It works great, and performance seems to be okay. If anyone wants to see the full code let me know.
[cell setBackgroundView:[[BackgroundView alloc] init]];
[cell setSelectedBackgroundView:[[SelectedBackgroundView alloc] init]];
