Change background of a grouped UITableView

Question

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

_tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage i         


        

Answer 1

What I usually do with grouped UITableViews is set the background color to clear, and the set that pattern image to the parents view.

self.parentViewController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"tableBG.png"]];
self.tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

Answer 2

The selected answer works but it clears the background of both tableHeaderView and table section header view. If you just want table header to be of a certain color say white and section header still to be default grey than do the following -

tableView.tableHeaderView.inputView.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
