UITableView cell with background image

Patrick R picture Patrick R · Jun 13, 2011 · Viewed 65.6k times · Source

i have a UITableView, where theres 3 images. 1 for the selected Cell, 1 for the Cell background, and 1 for the TableView background.

My selected Cell, is working just fine, but have some problems with the normal cells, and the TableView background(the background behind the cells when you scroll down/up to much)

Can some one help me with a background for each cell, and a TableView background ? how is this done ?

Normal Cell background: (not sure if its right)

// CELL'S BACKGROUND-IMAGE
    self.tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"cell_normal.PNG"]];

Selected Cell Background:

// SELECTED CELL'S BACKGROUND-IMAGE
    UIView *viewSelected = [[[UIView alloc] init] autorelease];
    viewSelected.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage: [UIImage imageNamed:@"cell_highlighted.PNG"]];
    cell.selectedBackgroundView = viewSelected;

For Cell

    cell.backgroundView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[ [UIImage imageNamed:@"cell_normal.png"] stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:0.0 topCapHeight:5.0] ];  
    cell.selectedBackgroundView =  [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[ [UIImage imageNamed:@"cell_pressed.png"] stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:0.0 topCapHeight:5.0] ];

For Tableview

    [mEditTableView setBackgroundView:nil];
    [mEditTableView setBackgroundView:[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"apple.png"]] ];
