Answer 1

You could achieve this by using stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:

UIImage *backgroundImage = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"SheetBackground.png"] stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:0.5 topCapHeight:0];

As per your request:

UIImage *backgroundImage = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"q4Ses.png"] stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:0.5 topCapHeight:0];
    
  [_scro setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:backgroundImage]];

And using your image:

The output is:

You can set this image on top of either UIScrollview, UIView and buttons. You do not need a for loop for that.

UPDATE:

The above code is for filling the entire background. If you wish to add only for one row then you have to create one UIView and set its colorWithPatternImage like below:

UIImage *backgroundImage = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"q4Ses.png"] 
    stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:1 topCapHeight:0];
UIView *v=[[UIView alloc]
    initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, _scro.frame.size.width, 45)];
[v setBackgroundColor:[UIColor 
    colorWithPatternImage:backgroundImage]];
[_scro addSubview:v];
 

And the output:

Make a view of the height of image. But this view can have any width.

Then set your tile image in this view with following code.

UIImage *tiledImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"myTiledImage.png"];
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:tiledImage];

This will get you the image tiled multiple times horizontally.

If the view spreads the image everywhere on screen then you'll have to add the following code to your view

 self.view.clipToBounds = YES;
