How to display image behind TableView in Xcode

Question

I want to add a background image behind my table view. I have my file staticTableControl.m where I populate the table and I have added -(void)viewDidLoad{

      self.tableView.backgroundColor=[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage      imageNamed:@"disk2.jpg"]];
     [super viewDidLoad];
 }

at the top, but the image doesn't load - please can someone advise me what else I need to do? Thank you

There have been some other questions about background images for tables, but I couldn't find one specifically for this.

Answer 1

A good solution is to change the tableview background color to transparent and add an imageview behind it
