How to change color of selected row in UIPickerView

The correct format for viewForPicker is:

- (UIView *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView viewForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component reusingView:(UIView *)view
{
    UILabel *label = (UILabel*) view;
    if (label == nil)
    {
        label = [[UILabel alloc] init];
    }

    [label setText:@"Whatever"];

    // This part just colorizes everything, since you asked about that.

    [label setTextColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
    [label setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
    CGSize rowSize = [pickerView rowSizeForComponent:component];
    CGRect labelRect = CGRectMake (0, 0, rowSize.width, rowSize.height);
    [label setFrame:labelRect];

    return label;
}

The problem with the code above is: it colorizes the labels, but not the picker, itself. So, when you roll to one end or the other, there's a blank spot where you can see the white background. Setting [myPicker setBackgroundColor...] doesn't do what one might hope.

Swift implementation

extension PickerViewController: UIPickerViewDelegate {
    func pickerView(pickerView: UIPickerView, attributedTitleForRow row: Int, forComponent component: Int) -> NSAttributedString? {
        var color: UIColor!
        if pickerView.selectedRowInComponent(component) == row {
            color = UIColor.redColor()
        } else {
            color = UIColor.blackColor()
        }

        let attributes: [String: AnyObject] = [
            NSForegroundColorAttributeName: color,
            NSFontAttributeName: UIFont.systemFontOfSize(15)
        ]

        return NSAttributedString(string: rows[row], attributes: attributes)
    }

    func pickerView(pickerView: UIPickerView, didSelectRow row: Int, inComponent component: Int) {
        //this will trigger attributedTitleForRow-method to be called
        pickerView.reloadAllComponents()
    }
}

Normally, I use this method:

I use the custom view for show the row item

-(UIView *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView viewForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component reusingView:(UIView *)view
{

    UILabel *label = (id)view;

    if (!label)
    {

        label= [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, [pickerView rowSizeForComponent:component].width, [pickerView rowSizeForComponent:component].height)];
        label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
        label.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
        label.text = _arrayStringPicker[row];

    }  

    return label;

I change color of row selected with:

- (void)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView didSelectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component
{

    UILabel *labelSelected = (UILabel*)[pickerView viewForRow:row forComponent:component];
    [labelSelected setTextColor:[UIColor redColor]];

}
