How to set a background image to label

Question

I want to display a number on image like badge of size 30*28, which is placed upon button image,

I have an badge image to set up on the top of button image.. on top of badge image I should able to display text or number and my badge size is 30*28.

so, for this to achieve I want to set a label on top of my button image and so I want to set label background to some image called badge image.

Answer 1

found this in stack overflow itself as the above code just gives the background without the label

was useful for me so sharing

theLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"blah"]];
