First of all, it's generally discouraged as a UI design to allow cells
to stay selected. That is, inside your
tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: method, you should call [tableView
deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES] so that you get the
nice animated highlight fade-away that people expect in an iPhone app.
If, for some reason, you feel you need to keep the cell selected, it
seems simple enough to keep around a reference to the last selected
cell. Then, inside your tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: method you
could perform whatever changes you need to format the coloring of the
formerly selected cell back to normal, and finally set your reference
to the cell that has just been selected.

callback method.
I can easily get the current section and row. However I'd like to be
able to
get the previous selected cell to be able to reset it's UI. What do
I mean?
The selected cell background is dark so I need to switch the texts
to white
from black. But this means I need to reset the previous cells labels
to
black again.
What's a good way to do this? Does that information come along for
the ride
on the callback method for cell selection? Do I need to reset the
cells
somehow and then change the text colors? It seems I have to
implement some
sort of state to have this happen, or else there is an approved
established
way to so this already.
Thanks,
