iOS UIView Background Image

Question

I want to have a UIImageas a background image on a UIView.

Here is my code:

UIColor *background = [[UIColor alloc] initWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"login.png"]]; self.view.backgroundColor = background; [background release]; 

The Problem is, that the scale is not okay. It scaled 640 to 480, so I can't tell it 100% sure but it looks like only 300 to 250 is displayed or something like that.

Is there a fit to scale / fit to UIView / fit to size modus?

Answer 1

you are required to process your image before you add it, try this :

UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.view.frame.size); [[UIImage imageNamed:@"image.png"] drawInRect:self.view.bounds]; UIImage *image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext(); UIGraphicsEndImageContext();  self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:image];
