I have tried this but it does not work for me.

UIImageView *av = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(500, 500, 500, 500)];
av.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
av.opaque = NO;
av.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"cell.png"];
cell.backgroundView = av;

Answer 1

Set the backgroundView property of the UITableViewCell to an UIImage, simply using:

theCell.backgroundView = [[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"cell_normal.png"]] autorelease];
