Black corners on UITableView Group Style

Question

I have a problem where my UITableView (group style) has a black "tip" above it's rounded corner.

I'm setting up the background of the tableview like so:

[meetingTableView setBackgroundColor:[[UIColor alloc] initWithPatternImage:[[UIImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:@"background.png"]]];

And my table view ends up looking like this:

Any ideas how I can get rid of those black points?

Answer 1

I have got the same problem. When I set clear color by xib, I have the back corner The solution is to set it by code !

(The same problem with interface builder exist for webviews)

Answer 2

Try this in your controller's viewDidLoad method:

meetingTableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

Answer 3

You'll get Black corners on UITableView Group Style if you set background color to clear color in XIB.

Instead try this code for removing Black corners on UITableView Group Style

tableViewObject.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];

Answer 4

Just in case you weren't already aware, there's another neat technique you can use to make customized backgrounds for UITableViews:

Not quite as simple as setting the background as you're doing, but it gives you a lot more flexibility and can scale to any table size.

Answer 5

Maybe if you put yourTableViewOutlet.backgroundView=nil;
