Add a Button to a TableView Cell: - iphone

Question

I have a UI tableView and I am trying to create a button like the one used in the Safari Settings to Clear History:
The code I have tried doesnt really work and I'm sure there is a better way:
case(2):
// cell = [[[ButtonLikeCell alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
if (indexPath.row == 0)
{
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[button setFrame:cell.bounds];
[button addTarget:self action:#selector(clearButtonClick) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[button setBackgroundColor:[UIColor purpleColor]];
[button setTitleColor:[UIColor blackColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button setTitle:#"Clear Data" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
cell.accessoryView = nil;
cell.clipsToBounds=YES;
[cell.contentView addSubview:button];
}
break;
}
}
return(cell);
}

Answer 1

A subclass on the tableview cell is overkill for this, basically all you need to do is set the text alignment of the textLabel to center
case(2):
if (indexPath.row == 0)
{
cell.textLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
}
break;

Answer 2

no need to use an actual UIButton.
the only difference between does rows and "normal" rows is the position of the label.
subclass UITableViewCell and override -laysubviews to center the label and you're done, like so:
#interface ButtonLikeCell : UITableViewCell
#end
#implementation ButtonLikeCell
-(void)layoutSubviews
{
self.titleLabel.center = self.center;
}
#end
this will reposition the label of the cell and make it look similar to what you're looking for.
