UITableView inside UITableViewCell changes color to white when selected

Question

I have a UITableView inside a UITableViewCell (Scrolling is disabled for the nested UITableView) Everything works fine. However there is an issue when I tap on the cell. It gets highlighted, but the nested UITableView changes its color to white which does not look good. Is there any way to change this? I already set the nested UITableView's backgroundView and its cells to transparent. EDIT: Selection is disabled for the nested UITableView. The tap occurs on a cell of the outer UITableView, which makes the whole inner UITableView turn white. EDIT2: Here are some screenshots before and during the tap EDIT3: Code of the first UITableView: In the ViewControler's viewDidLoad self.tableView.delegate = self self.tableView.dataSource = self self.tableView.backgroundColor = UIColor.darkBlueColor() self.tableView.registerNib(UINib(nibName: "TimelineDay", bundle: nil), forCellReuseIdentifier: TimelineDayTableViewCell.identifier) In the TimelineDayTableViewCell's awakeFromNib() self.tableView.delegate = self self.tableView.dataSource = self self.tableView.backgroundColor = UIColor.darkBlueColor() self.tableView.backgroundView = UIView.clearView() self.selectedBackgroundView = UIView.viewWithBackgroundColor(UIColor.accentColor()) self.tableView.registerNib(UINib(nibName: "EventItemCell", bundle: nil), forCellReuseIdentifier: EventItemTableViewCell.identifier) In the EventItemTableViewCell's awakeFromNib() self.backgroundView = UIView.clearView() self.selectedBackgroundView = UIView.clearView() JavaScript questions and answers, JavaScript questions pdf, JavaScript question bank, JavaScript questions and answers pdf, mcq on JavaScript pdf, JavaScript questions and solutions, JavaScript mcq Test , Interview JavaScript questions, JavaScript Questions for Interview, JavaScript MCQ (Multiple Choice Questions)

You may need to subclass your cell: class YourTableViewCellClass: UITableViewCell { @IBOutlet weak var yourLabel: UILabel! override func setSelected(_ selected: Bool, animated: Bool) { if(selected) { self.contentView.backgroundColor = UIColor.red //or what you want self.yourLabel.textColor = UIColor.green //or what you want } else { self.contentView.backgroundColor = UIColor.white //or what you want self.yourLabel.textColor = UIColor.green //or what you want } } }
