How do I set the background color of a grouped UITableView?

Question

I want conjoined email & password textfields like so -

enter image description here

See how both the fields are nicely rounded & the background color is blue.

The way I have implemented this is to create a custom tableViewCell with a label and a text field in a grouped table view probably with a single section and two rows one of which is for username and other for password.

What I have got is below. I have come close to implementing this but I am getting a weird grey background. How do I get rid of this grey background?

To remove gray background:

tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor]; in viewDidLoad

or if above code doesn't work try this.

tableView.backgroundView = nil;

I accomplish this with two lines:

self.tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor]; self.tableView.backgroundView = nil;

Depending on the opacity you want you can also make sure of this:

self.tableView.opaque = NO;

tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

If you are using Interface Builder make sure you setup and connect your outlet for the tableView

You may want to call this method in viewDidLoad:

+1 for mentioning the viewDidLoad. In complex view hierarchy the table will ignore any background property changes.
