Question

I want to have an image behind my tableview, i added a UIImage behind and set the tableview background to clear, in IB it shows the image behind the tableview but when i run it i get a black background, anybody can help me with this?

Answer 1

take off the image and add this code to your viewDidLoad:

UIView *patternView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:self.tableView.frame];
patternView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"background.png"]];
patternView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
self.tableView.backgroundView = patternView;

this is the way to add a fixed image as a background of a tableview.
