Question

I am trying to add a background image to UITableViewCell using the following code:

UIImage *bgImage=[UIImage imageNamed:@"green-cell-row.png"];
UIImageView *bgForFirst=[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:bgImage];
cell.backgroundView=bgForFirst;
[cell.contentView addSubview:venueDisplayImage];
[cell.contentView addSubview:venueDisplayName1];
[cell.contentView addSubview:venueDisplayName2];
[cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator];
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleGray;

However, I get venueDisplayName on white space around it. What would be the best way to fix this and correctly add my background image?

Answer 1

Try this way:

1) TabelView set the background like:

tblView.backgroundView.alpha = 0.0;
tblView.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];

2) Add the image view in cellForRowAtIndexPath og delegate method of tableview:

UIImageView *bckView = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0, 300,80)];
cell.backgroundView.alpha = 0.0;
cell.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
bckView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"cell.png"];
bckView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleToFill;
[cell.contentView addSubview:bckView];
