UITableView backgroundColor always white on iPad

Question

I\'m working on a project. I have plenty of UITableViews which are set as clear color. Their views\' background color are set to my custom color and everything

Answer 1

Building off of Ben Flynn's answer... cell.contentView background color is not necessarily equal to the cell.background color. In which case, I found that this worked in resolving the iPad white background issue in more situations:

    - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
        ...
        cell.backgroundColor = cell.backgroundColor;
        return cell;
    }

While the statement looks ridiculous and crazy... it resolves the issue.
