iPhone - Setting background on UITableViewController

Question

Is there any way to set a background view on a UITableViewController?

I try with the code I am using on a UIViewController, but the view comes over all

Answer 1

I know it's been a long time, but just for the record.. I Think I found a better solution using UITableView.backgroundView:

UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"lisbon.png"]];

self.tableView.backgroundView = imageView;
[imageView release];

I tried with an image size of 320x480 on iPhone, and works perfect (I have tried with .jpg also).
