    text
    copied!<p>I have done many approach on changing font colors from a tableView cell. apparently both method failed. Unless I am doing it wrongly, then I need some help to correct it. Here is the code I found online to change the font color.</p> <pre><code>[[cell textLabel] setTextColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:255.0/255.0 green:76.0/255.0 blue:76.0/255.0 alpha:1]]; </code></pre> <p>I placed that line in the <code>cellForRowAtIndexPath</code> method and it did not work. Next, I searched this page and found another method to change font colors: <code>tableView:willDisplayCell:forRowAtIndexPath:</code> I copied and paste the setTextColor method into the <code>willDisplayCell</code> method and it did not work either. Below is the source code on which how I attempted and failed:</p> <h3>cellForRowAtIndexPath:</h3> <pre><code>- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{ static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"ApplicationCell"; ApplicationCell *cell = (ApplicationCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier]; if (cell == nil) { [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"PharmacyCell" owner:self options:nil]; cell = tempCell; self.tempCell = nil; } //cell.useDarkBackground = (indexPath.row % 2 == 0); HealthWellness *objHealth = [self.maHealthArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]; cell.strPharmacyName = [objHealth.healthName stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"|" withString:@""]; [[cell textLabel] setTextColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:255.0/255.0 green:76.0/255.0 blue:76.0/255.0 alpha:1]]; cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator; return cell; } </code></pre> <h3>tableView:willDisplayCell:forRowAtIndexPath:</h3> <pre><code>- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{ [[cell textLabel] setTextColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:255.0/255.0 green:76.0/255.0 blue:76.0/255.0 alpha:1]]; } </code></pre> <h3>ApplicationCell.h</h3> <pre><code>@interface ApplicationCell : UITableViewCell{ //variable declaration BOOL useDarkBackground; BOOL useMenuBackground; NSString *strPharmacyName; UIImage *pharmacyIcon; NSString *strStoreName;} </code></pre> <p>//setting property @property BOOL useDarkBackground; @property BOOL useMenuBackground; @property(retain) NSString *strPharmacyName; @property(retain) UIImage *pharmacyIcon; @property(retain) NSString *strStoreName;</p> <h3>ApplicationCell.m</h3> <pre><code>- (void)setUseDarkBackground:(BOOL)flag{ if (flag != useDarkBackground || !self.backgroundView) { useDarkBackground = flag; NSString *backgroundImagePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:useDarkBackground ? @"BGDark" : @"BGLight" ofType:@"png"]; UIImage *backgroundImage = [[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:backgroundImagePath] stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:0.0 topCapHeight:1.0]; self.backgroundView = [[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:backgroundImage] autorelease]; self.backgroundView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight; self.backgroundView.frame = self.bounds; }} - (void)setUseMenuBackground:(BOOL)flag{ if (flag != useDarkBackground || !self.backgroundView) { useDarkBackground = flag; NSString *backgroundImagePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:useDarkBackground ? @"BGDark" : @"BGLight" ofType:@"png"]; UIImage *backgroundImage = [[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:backgroundImagePath] stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:0.0 topCapHeight:1.0]; self.backgroundView = [[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:backgroundImage] autorelease]; self.backgroundView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight; self.backgroundView.frame = self.bounds; }} </code></pre>
