How do I create a transparent UITextField?

Question

On my 1) UIView one (2) UIImageView will be on this (3) UITextView.

This UITextView must be Transparent and we have to view the imageView.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

Objective-C

If you only want to make the background (rather than the whole UITextView) transparent, I believe you should be do this via the backgroundColor property it inherits from UIView.

As such...

[yourTextView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];

...should hopefully do the trick.

If however, you want to make the whole UITextView transparent, the alpha property @taskinoor mentions is perfect.
