uitableview - Xamarin ios - How to access a cell from a static TableView -

i have issue how tableview rendered on ipad device. despite setting background color clear on story board,the tableview, when testing on ipad has gray background color. have searched around site , found plenty of solutions:

already tried suggestion

public override void viewdidload() {  base.viewdidload();  tableview.backgroundview = new uiview(); tableview.backgroundview.backgroundcolor = uicolor.clear; 

}

and tried override getcell function inside tableview class, can change contentview color accessing cell,

cell.contentview.backgroundcolor 

but getcell function never called.

edit

here's sample screen 1 of screens has static table view

could point me in right direction?

if want change background color overriding getcell want give custom cells identifier in storyboard , override getcell in tableviews tablesource below. might want check tableview source being set customtablesource in viewdidload:

tableview.source = new customtablesource(this); 

unless using iuitableviewdatasource check weak delegate , source being set:

tableview.weakdelegate = this; tableview.weakdatasource = this; 

overriding getcell:

public override uitableviewcell getcell(uitableview tableview, nsindexpath indexpath) {      var cell = tableview.dequeuereusablecell("cellidentifier") customcell;      if (cell == null)             cell = new customcell();      cell.backgroundcolor = uicolor.clear      return cell; } 

you'll have override rowsinsection well:

public nint rowsinsection(uitableview tableview, nint section) {       return 7; }
