Change background of a grouped UITableView

Question

I\'m having some trouble trying to change the background of a UITableView with groups.

_tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage i         


        

Answer 1

You additionally need to disable the background view of _tableView:

[_tableView setBackgroundView:nil];
 _tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];

No need to add new view to backgroundView. This is working for me in iOS6.
