Is it UITableView or colorWithPatternImage problem? Background image turns white although it is light gray color.

Question

Hello all,

I am using the following way to set the background of the UITableView.

self.tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

self.parentViewController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageWithData:imageData]];

The image which I want to set as the background is light gray color But the image which I see is totally white.

What is the problem. Like is it with the colorWithPatterImage or with the UITable.

If you kust want to set some custom color as a background, you can use

[UIColor colorWithRed:(CGFloat)red green:(CGFloat)green blue:(CGFloat)blue alpha:(CGFloat)alpha]
