What is now the proper way to set the background image for normal and selected states of UITableViewCell? In XCode 4 I used to do it in the IB but now these options are not available.

  • It talks about the uitableview - not the cell. I was wondering about the recent change in xcode that there is no place to choose the background image in the IB. – bolshas Oct 14 '11 at 16:56

I ended up setting the cell.backgroundView:

            UIView *backgroundView = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero] autorelease];
            backgroundView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"cell_background.png"]];
            cell.backgroundView = backgroundView;

For the selected state I used the default blue selection.

UIImage *bgImage = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: @"image_name" ofType:@"png"]];

UIImageView *av = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:bgImage];

cell.backgroundView = av;
