uitableview setbackgroundcolor not setting the color in UITableViewStyleGrouped table

Question

in iOS 6

[uitableview setBackgroundColor:] not setting the color when table style is UITableViewStyleGrouped

instead the default striped background is seen.

How should we set the background of the table if the style is UITableViewStyleGrouped

Answer 1

[tableViewInstance setBackgroundView: nil];

Answer 2

Setting

[tableView setBackgroundView: nil];

gives me problems in iOS 5 so what I use is:

UIView* bview = [[UIView alloc] init];
bview.backgroundColor = [UIColor yellowColor];
[tableView setBackgroundView:bview];

iOS 5 and 6 compatible!

Answer 3

self.view.backgroundColor = TTSTYLEVAR(mainPageBackground);
self.tableView.separatorColor   = TTSTYLEVAR(mainPageBackground);
self.tableView.backgroundView = nil;

Fixed it for me. You'll have to be careful of what other impacts this might have though.
