copied!<p>I assume you are trying this in cellForRowAtIndexPath.</p> <p>According to the <a href="http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UITableViewCell_Class/Reference/Reference.html" rel="noreferrer">UITableViewCell class reference</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Note: If you want to change the background color of a cell (by setting the background color of a cell via the backgroundColor property declared by UIView) you must do it in the tableView:willDisplayCell:forRowAtIndexPath: method of the delegate and not in tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: of the data source.</p> </blockquote> <p>So do this:</p> <pre><code>- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor]; //must do here in willDisplayCell cell.textLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor]; //must do here in willDisplayCell cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor yellowColor]; //can do here OR in cellForRowAtIndexPath } </code></pre> <p>If you need finer control over the cell display, an easy way is to design it in IB and load it from the nib in cellForRowAtIndexPath. See the "Loading Custom Table-View Cells From Nib Files" section on <a href="http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/TableView_iPhone/TableViewCells/TableViewCells.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007451-CH7-SW20" rel="noreferrer">this page</a> in the Table View Programming Guide.</p>
