Hi,
I want to draw the background of a UITableViewCell which has a grouped style. The problem with me is I am not able to call the -(void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect or I think it should be called programmatically...
I have taken code from following link .

}
but the problem is my drawRect is not getting called automatically.........
I am doing it like this.
CustomCellBackgroundView *custView = [[CustomCellBackgroundView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,320,44)];
[cell setBackgroundView:custView];
[custView release];
and doing this gives me transparent cell.
I tried and fought with code but could get any results. Please help me out. I am really having no idea how this code will run.
