Question

I’m trying to set the background image of a view based on a passed “artistID.” Here is my code so far:

 NSString *backgroundImageName = [[NSString alloc]initWithFormat:@"artistbackground%i.png",_artistID];


    self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:backgroundImageName]];
    NSLog(@"%@",backgroundImageName);

unfortunately, for the parameter in ImageNamed, I’m passing in:
artistibackground1

instead of:

@”artistbackgound1″

Any ideas on how to escape the @ and the quotes??

Thanks!!

Answer 1

self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"@%@",backgroundImageName]];

Essentially make two strings, it will add the @”” in the second.
