Question

I changed tableview cell color. But when I move to up or down side of tableview, it is still white. How can I change that empty space color programmatically?

Answer 1

If you want a different color of table and cell, just say tableView.backgroundColor = desiredColor. The UIColor class offers class methods like +blueColor, +redColor, and such.

If you want the same color of the table and its cells, keep the code above and add this in tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:

// Customize the cell
cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
for (UIView *subview in [cell subviews]) {
    subview.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
}

This is a better solution than simply saying cell.backgroundColor = desiredColor because if you decide to use a view (such as a pattern), instead of just a color, as the background of your table, the background will be visible at all times, not just when you bounce the content.
