Question

Hello i have one iphone application in which an UITableViewCell is added with a background image using the following code

tbView.backgoundColor=[UIColor colorWithImagePattern:[UIImage imagenamed:@"cellbg.png"]];

Image is added, but image should be displayed for some portion only.The portion in which image is not displayed is shown in black color. I want to make that color white.

In picture above show the black that I want to remove where date, friday september is displayed. How can i do that. I have tried to add UIImage as a subview to the cell.But the image is larger than the cell size.so it is scaled to cells size and becomes smaller and ins’t displayed properly.

The issue got solved by adding imageview as backgroundview of table

UIImageView *background = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@”cellbac.png”]];
background.contentMode = UIViewContentModeTopLeft;
tbView.backgroundView= background;
