Add background image to all UITableViewCell - objective-c

Question

I used willDisplayCell delegate method to show a custom background image to a UITableViewCell.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell
forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static UIImage* bgImage = nil;
if (bgImage == nil) {
bgImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"myImage.png"];
}
cell.backgroundView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:bgImage];
}
When I run the app in the simulator, the background only for the cells that are drawn are changed, is there a way to change all cells' background?

I have worked this code.It's working good .you can try this code.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
}
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:#"Cell"] autorelease];
UIImageView *cellBackView=[[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 100)];
cellBackView.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
cellBackView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"list.png"];
cell.backgroundView = cellBackView;
cell.selectionStyle=UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
return cell;
}

You have to set the backgroundView property in the cellForRowAtIndexPath method that creates the cell:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (!cell)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
cell.backgroundView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:...];
return cell;
}
