Question

I’m trying to set an image as a background instead of a color. Here’s the code I’m using right now:

[testing setBackgroundColor:color];
[testing setFont: [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:33]];

Is there another [testing set] object to set the background as an image instead of a color? I don’t think this is right:

[testing setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"test.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

Thanks!

Answer 1

try

testing.backgroundColor = 
[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"test.png"]];

another possible solution would be making a UIImageView in your nib/storyboard set the image in the attribute inspector and send to back in Editor > Arrange > send to back
