is groupTableViewBackgroundColor deprecated on iOS 6?

Question

I was just testing my app with iOS 6.0 and Xcode 4.5GM and I have set up a view like this:

[self.view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor groupTableViewBackgroundCol         


        

Answer 1

It's good idea to use standard methods for previous iOs versions. So I improved solution of James Boutcher:

+ (void)setBackgroundColorForTableView:(UITableView*) tableView
{
    UIColor* color = [UIColor whiteColor];
    NSString* version = [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion];
    if([version floatValue] < 6.0)
    {
        tableView.backgroundColor = color;
    }
    else
    {
        tableView.backgroundView = nil;
        UIView* bv = [[UIView alloc] init];
        bv.backgroundColor = color;
        tableView.backgroundView = bv;
        [bv release];
    }
}
