Answer 1

Do u want set background image for your table or for individual cell in UITableView
If it is for setting the background image then do the following:
UIImage *bgImage = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"background.png" ofType:nil]];
UIColor *bgColor = [[UIColor alloc] initWithPatternImage:bgImage]; self.view.backgroundColor = bgColor;
[tableName setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
where tableName is the name of your UItableView
If you want to set background image for UITableView cell then do the following:
cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
UIImageView *cellBG_tap = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"image.png" ofType:nil]]];
cell.backgroundView = cellBG_tap;
[cellBG_tap release];

Answer 2

set a class on the cell, then use CSS to put the background image in, like below:
<table class="myTable">
<tr>
<td class="myCell"></td>
</tr>
</table>
<style>
.myCell {
background: url(my_image.gif)
}
</style>

Answer 3

One way is to modify the UITableViewCell's contentView. For example:
//Add custom objects to the cell in here!
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"image.jpg"]];
imageView.center = CGPointMake(310, 48);
[cell.contentView addSubview:imageView];
cell.textLabel.text=#"test";

Answer 4

set background image as
UIImageView* img = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"yourImage.png"]];
[cell setBackgroundView:img];

Answer 5

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
cell.textLabel.font =[UIFont systemFontOfSize:20.0];
cell.detailTextLabel.textColor=[UIColor whiteColor];
cell.detailTextLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:15.0];
cell.textLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
cell.detailTextLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"Square.gif"];
}
in table view data source
cellForRowAtIndexPath
if (indexPath.row%2==0) {
UIImageView *img = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"image..."]];
cell.backgroundView=img;
[img release];
I used this its working .... #all Thanks people for contributing your knowledge
