Cell background view not filling the whole cell - ios

Question

I am using a separate UITableViewCell for the UITableView and when i set background View of this cell, it seems to fill the image in a box rather than the whole cell. The dimensions of both separate UITableViewCell and UITableView's row are 280x44. Here's an image of what it looks like:
Here's the code that i am writing for setting the background view of the cell:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
// ...
PBDashboardSummarizedCell *cell = (PBDashboardSummarizedCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"PBDashboardSummarizedCell"];
if (!cell) {
cell = [PBDashboardSummarizedCell standardCell];
}
if(datapickup.isexpanded==YES)
{
UIImageView *av = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 280, 44)];
av.opaque = NO;
av.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"dashboardCellEffect.png"]];
cell.backgroundView = av; //tried this
// [cell setBackgroundView:av]; //and this also... but still image is set in the box and not the whole cell
}
else{
UIImageView *av = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 280, 44)];
av.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
av.opaque = NO;
cell.backgroundView = av;
}
return cell;
}

Answer 1

Try this code. it worked for me.
UIImageView * ac= [[UIImageView alloc] init];
ac.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"image.png"]];
cell.backgroundView =ac;
cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

Answer 2

try this?
UIImage *backgroundImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"dashboardCellEffect.png"];
UIView *backgroundCellView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 280, 44)];
// redraw the image to fit cell's size
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(backgroundCellView.frame.size, NO, 0.f);
[backgroundImage drawInRect:CGRectMake(0.f, 0.f, backgroundCellView.frame.size.width, backgroundCellView.frame.size.height)];
UIImage *refinedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
[backgroundCellView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:refinedImage]];
cell.backgroundView = backgroundCellView;

Answer 3

you are using imageview so it shows color in only imageview instead of whole cell
you can try below method
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if(datapickup.isexpanded==YES)
{
cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"dashboardCellEffect.png"]];
}
else {
cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
}
}
tyr above code your problem will solve.
