Question

I have

UIView *topPart = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(9, 0, 302, 318)];
topPart.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"pattern.png"]];
[someScroller addSubview:topPart];
[topPart release];

and I can see the pattern fine when I use a 3gs or the iphone simulator, but when I tested on an actual iPhone 4, I see the pattern images but there are black lines separating each pattern so it looks like a grid. I checked the pattern image and there is no black border or anything .

There was someone with a different problem but it may be the same solution
colorWithPatternImage with iPhone 4 Retina Display ([e-mail])

but they suggested using the -(void)drawRect: method, only problem is i have no idea how to do that.

Thanks

How can I use CGContextDrawTiledImage to tile an image?

UIImage *thePattern= [self GetFineTiles:[UIImage imageNamed:@"Feedbackpattern.png"]];
theView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:thePattern];

-(UIImage*)GetFineTiles:(UIImage*)badImage{
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(badImage.size);
    CGContextRef imageContext = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
    CGContextDrawTiledImage(imageContext, (CGRect){CGPointZero,badImage.size}, badImage.CGImage);
    UIImage *goodPattern = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
    return goodPattern;
}

Hope this helps others
