Multiple Views in accessoryView of UITableViewCell

Question

I am trying to overlay two images in the accessoryView of a UITableViewCell like so:

UIView *accessoryView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:cell.accessoryView.frame];

UIImageView *backgroundImage = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"CellBG.png"]];
UIImageView *tickImage = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"Tick.png"]];

[accessoryView addSubview:backgroundImage];
[accessoryView addSubview:tickImage];

cell.accessoryView = accessoryView;

// release stuff

Sadly, this doesn't work and the two images are lying in strange places on the screen...

Any suggestions?

The frames of the images need to be set to the bounds of the accessory view. You might also want to try setting the accessory view frame manually. Eg. CGRectMake(0,0,20,20)
