UITableView background Image

Question

I\'am trying to setup a png image as my tableview\'s background. With the following code all are fine! But only on iPhone Simulator. If I try to run the application on an iPhone

Answer 1

A little late but maybe for all the others looking for a solution. I could get that work by using the following code in the viewDidLoad method of the UITableViewController:

self.parentViewController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"background.png"]];
self.tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

or with using just a background color:

self.parentViewController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor scrollViewTexturedBackgroundColor];
self.tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

It took me a while to figure that out but now it works like a charm.
