How to change color of disclosure indicator of UITableVeiw Programmatically? [duplicate]

Add your own disclosure indicator:

cell.accessoryView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"accessory.png"]];

I know I'm late to the party but I just prepared a custom view that draws a disclosure view. I've quickly made it for a demo so it might not be extremely precise, it just does the job. Hope it helps someone:

PZDisclosureIndicator.h

PZDisclosureIndicator.m:

Then in my custom cell, I do this:

self.accessoryView = [[PZDisclosureIndicator alloc] initWithColor:SECONDARY_HIGHLIGHT_COLOR];

Theoretically you should be able to change its colour after initialisation too, haven't tried that.

Looks like this:

Sorry, I'm super super late to the party but I was struggling with this today and just figured it out (in iOS8 and 9). Using the View Debugger, it was clear the Disclosure triangle is a UIImage in a UIImageView in a UIButton.

So in -awakeFromNib, I was iterating through the subviews to find a button. Once I found the button, a reference to the original image could be acquired via -backgroundImageForState:

Once you get the original image, you can create a copy that is a Template image by calling [originalImage imageWithRenderingMode:AlwaysTemplate]

Then you can set the backgroundImage for all available states. Once you do that, the Image picks up the tint color automatically.

Below is some swift sample code:

class GratuitousDisclosureTableViewCell: UITableViewCell {    private weak var disclosureButton: UIButton? {        didSet {            if let originalImage = self.disclosureButton?.backgroundImageForState(.Normal) {                let templateImage = originalImage.imageWithRenderingMode(.AlwaysTemplate)                self.disclosureButton?.setBackgroundImage(templateImage, forState: .Normal)                self.disclosureButton?.setBackgroundImage(templateImage, forState: .Highlighted)                self.disclosureButton?.setBackgroundImage(templateImage, forState: .Disabled)                self.disclosureButton?.setBackgroundImage(templateImage, forState: .Selected)                self.disclosureButton?.setBackgroundImage(templateImage, forState: .Application)                self.disclosureButton?.setBackgroundImage(templateImage, forState: .Reserved)            }        }    }    override func awakeFromNib() {        super.awakeFromNib()        for view in self.subviews {            if let button = view as? UIButton {                self.disclosureButton = button                break            }        }      }}
