iPhone - flipping views shows a white background

Question

I am using the flip animation to animate between two views in my viewcontroller. The problem is that the background shows a white blank background while the animation is taking place. I would like to show a black background.

I tried setting the background color of the main view to black both in IB and code. But the background is still white.

Can someone please help me.

Thanks.

Adding the code

[self setContentView:[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame]]];
contentView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
[contentView addSubview:toolbar];
[self setView:contentView];
[contentView release];

frontView = [[FrontView alloc] initWithFrame:viewFrame];
[frontView setViewController:self];
[self.view insertSubview:frontView belowSubview:toolbar];

//Initializing the back view here too
//on button click, executing normal flip code

Even after this I get a white background

I think your issue might be that the UIWindow is shown during the animation. To fix this issue, set the background color of your main window. You can do this in code or in IB.
