Add background to table view

Add a view with the image to the window or the view controlling the table view. In my case it was a navigation view.

UIView *backgroundView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame: window.frame];
backgroundView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"TableViewBackground.png"]];
[window addSubview:backgroundView];
[backgroundView release];
