copied!<p>The backgroundView is not a normal view, there's something going on behind the scenes. Check this link out:</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4939517/difference-between-background-view-and-content-view-in-uitableviewcell">Difference between background view and content view in uitableviewcell</a></p> <p>Specifically, from the documentation:</p> <p>backgroundView: The default is nil for cells in plain-style tables (UITableViewStylePlain) and non-nil for grouped-style tables UITableViewStyleGrouped). UITableViewCell adds the background view as a subview behind all other views and uses its current frame location.</p> <p>Hence: it doesn't really have a frame location, it uses the cell's frame location.</p> <p>This code worked:</p> <pre><code>UIImageView *bgView = [[UIImageView alloc] init]; // Creating a view for the background...this seems to be required. bgView.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor]; cell.backgroundView = bgView; UIImageView *bgImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] init]; // Creating a subview for the background... bgImageView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:1 alpha:1]; [bgImageView setFrame:CGRectInset(cell.bounds, 1, 1)]; [cell.backgroundView addSubview:bgImageView]; // Assigning the subview, and cleanup. [bgImageView release]; [bgView release]; </code></pre> <p>Spent about an hour trying to figure this out...but it works. This is code in the cellForRowAtIndexPath delegate method--I won't cover the whole thing here obviously.</p>
