Question

How do I set the background image of my UIViewController? What is the code to do it? Right now I have

self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"image.jpg"]];

but I don’t want a pattern. I want it to fill the screen properly.

Answer 1

you could use:

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

[self.view addSubview:backgroundImage];
[self.view sendSubviewToBack:backgroundImage];
[backgroundImage release];
