Change checkmark color in UITableView editing-mode? - iphone

Question

After searching all over internet for a long time, but not getting the appropriate answer. I am putting the UITableView in editing mode and selecting multiple rows at a time. It is working great, but I wanted to change the color of checkmark from red to blue same as it is in the iPhone email app.
Any help would be appreciated.
Edited Version:
Here is my code...
in my ViewDidLoad function:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
...
[deviceTableVIew setAllowsSelectionDuringEditing:YES];
[deviceTableVIew setAllowsMultipleSelectionDuringEditing:YES];
[super viewDidLoad];
}
I have two UIButtons whhich set the editing mode for the tableview as follows:
-(IBAction)control:(id)sender{
btnControl.enabled = false;
btnControl.hidden = true;
btnCancel.enabled = true;
btnCancel.hidden = false;
stateToggleToolbar.hidden = false;
[self.deviceTableVIew setEditing:YES animated:YES];
}
-(IBAction)cancel:(id)sender{
btnCancel.enabled = false;
btnCancel.hidden = true;
btnControl.enabled = true;
btnControl.hidden = false;
stateToggleToolbar.hidden = true;
[self.deviceTableVIew setEditing:NO animated:YES];
}
The UITableView delegate methods are:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
//setting up the cells here
return cell;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
...
if ([tableView isEditing] == YES) {
// Do Nothing
}else{
[self.navigationController pushViewController:viewController animated:YES];
}
}
-(void) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
}
- (UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
return 3;
}

One line solution is here)
Just set cell tintColor in your cellForRow:atIndexPath method.
cell.tintColor = UIColor.red
Below is swift code:
func tableView(tableView: UITableView,
cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath)
-> UITableViewCell
{
//get cell to configure from tableView
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("myCellIdentifier", forIndexPath: indexPath) as UITableViewCell
//This line will change checkmark color of your awesome cell
cell.tintColor = UIColor.redColor()
// Configure cell
// ...
//work is done! Let put the cell back to the tableView))
return cell
}
And this is the result of selected and not selected cells::

You cant change checkmark color as its not supported.The thing which you can do is make an image and add following code in your cellForRowAtIndexPath
- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
selected=[[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for(int i=0;i<10;i++){
[selected addObject:#"0"];
}
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
}
cell.textLabel.text=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"hello %d",indexPath.row];
if([[selected objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] isEqualToString:#"1"]){
cell.accessoryType=UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
}
else{
cell.accessoryType=UITableViewCellAccessoryNone;
}
// Configure the cell...
return cell;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if([[selected objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] isEqualToString:#"0"]){
[selected replaceObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row withObject:#"1"];
}
else{
[selected replaceObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row withObject:#"0"];
}
[tbl reloadData];
}

You can change the checkmark image. Create check mark image with check mark image and color.
Then replace image name in the below code. This works fine for iOS 6 and below
- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated
{
[super setSelected:selected animated:animated];
if (self.isEditing) {
if (selected){
for (UIView *subview in self.subviews) {
if ([NSStringFromClass([subview class]) isEqualToString:#"UITableViewCellEditControl"]) {
for (UIView *aView in subview.subviews) {
if ([NSStringFromClass([subview class]) isEqualToString:#"UITableViewCellEditControl"]) {
[aView.layer setContents:(id)[UIImage imageNamed:#"delete_check.png"].CGImage];
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
