    <p>I have a table view which flips back and forth between view mode and edit mode. I have one cell which I would like to be transparent in view mode, and look like a "normal" cell in edit mode (i.e. white background, rounded rectangle outline). Basically, the same thing you see the name cell do in the contacts app as you switch in &amp; out of edit mode.</p> <p>I used the solution in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1008246/how-to-create-a-uitableviewcell-with-a-transparent-background">How to create a UITableViewCell with a transparent background</a> to get a transparent background, but I can't figure out how to get the original background back.</p> <p>Currently, I create two background views in viewDidLoad:</p> <pre><code>nameCellDefaultBackview = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero]; nameCellDefaultBackview.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor]; nameCellEditBackview = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero]; nameCellEditBackview.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor]; </code></pre> <p>I then give my cell the default background view:</p> <pre><code>nameCell.backgroundView = nameCellDefaultBackview; </code></pre> <p>In setEditing:animated: I set the background of the cell depending on the editing mode:</p> <pre><code>if (editing) { nameCell.backgroundView = nameCellEditBackview; } else { nameCell.backgroundView = nameCellDefaultBackview; } </code></pre> <p>The problem is, in editing mode I get a white rectangle instead of something that looks like a cell - which is precisely what I asked for, but not what I want :). I've tried a couple of other things, like setting backgroundView to nil (which seems to = no change), and saving the 'initial' background view in viewDidLoad (that didn't seem to work, and looking in the debugger the variable was 0x0 when I tried to assign it to the cell in setEditing). </p> <p>So what I want is to look like this in normal mode:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/iQd1u.png" alt="normal mode"></p> <p>And like this in edit mode:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/B5pDo.png" alt="edit mode"></p> <p>But what I <em>currently</em> get in edit mode is:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/0G2HB.png" alt="current edit view"></p> <p>So how do I get the white background/border/rounded corners back?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
