Set the same default background of the UITableView to a custom view controller

Question

I need to set the same gray stripped background to another view. Can anyone help me on this one?

Thanks, Leonardo

Answer 1

It's very easy :)

[self.view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor groupTableViewBackgroundColor]];

As of iOS 6.0 the given answer from Jasarien will not work anymore. Basically you need to place a UITableView in the background to accomplish what you want (do not forget to set the autoresizingMask or according contraints in Auto-Layout). You maybe also want to set the property userInteractionEnabled to NO so the user can not interact with your 'background color'.
