Question

Hopefully it’s visible in this image:

I am trying to make the background draw behind the section index, but unfortunately the background is white behind the section index and it’s also white where the UIAccessoryType is being drawn (not pictured).

I am using a UITableViewCell subclass and setting the background with:

[self.contentView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"cellBackgroundPattern"]]];

Answer 1

I believe self.contentView is, as its name suggests, only the content view. Try just do self.backgroundColor (a property of UIView) or self.backgroundView.
