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

Just want to add to Nirav's answer - it can also be done using the iOS 5 appearance proxy.

[[UITableView appearance] setBackgroundView:nil];
[[UITableView appearance] setBackgroundColor:[UIColor lightGreyColor]];

The advantage is that it is applies globally, so you can group all your UI customisations in one place. However, it will apply to all tableViews (not just grouped style).
