Question

I have a UIViewController in my Monotouch iPhone application and I want to set the background to what you have in a UITableViewStyle.Grouped. However when I use the code below it returns a black screen.

this.View.BackgroundColor = UIColor.GroupTableViewBackgroundColor;  // Black screen
this.View.BackgroundColor = UIColor.Red; // Works

I call these in the ViewWillAppear method. If I comment out the GroupTable then the background gets set to Red. When I comment out the second line all I get is a black screen.

Does anyone know why this is? Can you not call UIColor.GroupTableViewBackgroundColor if your not in a UITableViewController?

Thanks

Mike

Answer 1

i have used this on my current project & it works fine i have xcode 4.0 & simulator 4.3
i have found on net that it is deprecated on ios 6
i have used like this

[self.tableview setBackgroundColor:[UIColor groupTableViewBackgroundColor]];

just have look at this link is groupTableViewBackgroundColor deprecated on iOS 6?

for alternative you can find out same image as UItableview Grouped style background on internet.
