I've got a slightly different approach than everyone else that reflects the selection on touch rather than after being selected. I have a subclassed UITableViewCell. All you have to do is set the background color in the touch events, which simulates selection on touch, and then set the background color in the setSelected function. Setting the background color in the selSelected function allows for deselecting the cell. Make sure to pass the touch event to the super, otherwise the cell won't actually act as if its selected.

override func touchesBegan(touches: NSSet, withEvent event: UIEvent) {
    self.backgroundColor = UIColor(white: 0.0, alpha: 0.1)
    super.touchesBegan(touches, withEvent: event)
}

override func touchesCancelled(touches: NSSet!, withEvent event: UIEvent!) {
    self.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
    super.touchesCancelled(touches, withEvent: event)
}

override func setSelected(selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
    super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)

    // Configure the view for the selected state
    self.backgroundColor = selected ? UIColor(white: 0.0, alpha: 0.1) : UIColor.clearColor()
}

在Swift 4中，你还可以全局设置你表格单元格的背景色(从这里取):

let backgroundColorView = UIView()
backgroundColorView.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
UITableViewCell.appearance().selectedBackgroundView = backgroundColorView

不需要自定义单元格。如果你只想改变单元格的选定颜色，你可以这样做:

objective - c:

UIView *bgColorView = [[UIView alloc] init];
bgColorView.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
[cell setSelectedBackgroundView:bgColorView];

迅速:

let bgColorView = UIView()
bgColorView.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
cell.selectedBackgroundView = bgColorView

以下是我在iOS 8中使用的。

我必须将选择样式设置为UITableViewCellSelectionStyleDefault，以便自定义背景色能够工作。如果有其他样式，自定义背景色将被忽略。在行为上似乎有一个变化，因为以前的答案需要将style设置为none。

单元格的完整代码如下:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"MyCell";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    }

    // This is how you change the background color
    cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleDefault;
    UIView *bgColorView = [[UIView alloc] init];
    bgColorView.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
    [cell setSelectedBackgroundView:bgColorView];        
    return cell;
}

我想指出的是，XIB编辑器为您提供了以下标准选项:

部分:蓝色/灰色/没有

(右边有选项的列，第4个标签，第一组“表格视图单元格”，第4个子组，3个项目中的第一个读为“选择”)

也许你想做的事情可以通过选择正确的标准选项来实现。

当表视图样式是普通的，这很容易，但在组样式，这是一个小麻烦，我解决它:

CGFloat cellHeight = [self tableView:tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, kGroupTableViewCellWidth+2, cellHeight)];
view.backgroundColor = kCommonHighlightedColor;
cell.selectedBackgroundView = view;
[view release];
UIRectCorner cornerFlag = 0;
CGSize radii = CGSizeMake(0, 0);
NSInteger theLastRow = --> (yourDataSourceArray.count - 1);
if (indexPath.row == 0) {
    cornerFlag = UIRectCornerTopLeft | UIRectCornerTopRight;
    radii = CGSizeMake(10, 10);
} else if (indexPath.row == theLastRow) {
    cornerFlag = UIRectCornerBottomLeft | UIRectCornerBottomRight;
    radii = CGSizeMake(10, 10);
}
UIBezierPath *maskPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:view.bounds byRoundingCorners:cornerFlag cornerRadii:radii];
CAShapeLayer *shapeLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
shapeLayer.path = maskPath.CGPath;
view.layer.mask = shapeLayer;

注意到kGroupTableViewCellWidth，我把它定义为300，这是iPhone中组表视图单元格的宽度
