I'am trying to setup a png image as my tableview's background. With the following code all are fine! But only on iPhone Simulator. If I try to run the application on an iPhone device the background of tableview remains white (or clear). Do you thing thing that is something about the way I tried to set the background color. I have been trying many ways until the following, but all have the same issue.

self.tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
self.tableView.opaque = NO;
self.tableView.backgroundView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"TableViewBackground.png"]];

Thank you in advance!

UIImageView *tempImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"TableViewBackground.png"]];
[tempImageView setFrame:self.tableView.frame]; 

self.tableView.backgroundView = tempImageView;
[tempImageView release];
