Question

I have an imageview in which I want an image to be set. My designer have given me an image which is of the same height of imageview but the width is 1/10th of the imageview. He asked me to repeat it inside the imageview like a texture.

Is it possible to add multiple images to an imageview? I know I can do it by using 10 imageviews for each reptition. Is there anyother way like the texture thing?

Important Edit:

While the answer below is correct, I answered this too literally and didn’t suggest the appropriate alternative.

A UIImageView can only have one image, but you can fill a UIView with a repeating pattern by using UIColor‘s colorWithPatternImage method:

// myView is the UIView to fill
// myImage is the UIImage to use as a fill pattern

myView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:myImage];

No, only one UIImage per UIImageView. Your designer should repeat it himself and give you an image of the appropriate size. The iPhone is not the web, requirements are different.
