How to set Background image in UITableViewCell from interface builder

I know that how I can set image for the cells in my static UITavleView programmatically:

cell.backgroundView = [ [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[ [UIImage imageNamed:@"image1.png"] stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:0.0 topCapHeight:5.0] ]autorelease];

I could set the background color, but not the image. Is it possible to set it from interface builder?

It is possible by connecting the backgroundView outlet of the tableViewCell (with another view in the nib file). But you cannot make stretchable images within the interface builder..

Create a new user interface Xib file. Delete the initial view. Drag and drop your uitableviewcell into the builder. Customize... Then put this in viewDidLoad:

 UINib *cellNib = [UINib nibWithNibName:@"pizzaCell" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
[self.tableView registerNib:cellNib
      forCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"pizzaCell"];

Then in cellForRowAtIndexPath do this:

static NSString *cellIdent = @"pizzaCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdent];

Now you have your nib cell. If you want to get references to the views you added to the cell the way I do it is to give em tags and call viewWithTag on the cell.

You might also just be seeking:

 cell.contentView.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"PizzaImage"];

Not sure how much you want to customize
