Question

I’m having some trouble trying to change the background of a UITableView with groups.

_tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"tableViewBg.png"]];

This usually works on every other UITableView, but not the one with groups, is there something else I have to do?
In IB I have the background color set to a clear color, but that doesn’t do much.

You additionally need to disable the background view of _tableView:

[_tableView setBackgroundView:nil];
 _tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];

No need to add new view to backgroundView. This is working for me in iOS6.
