UITableViewController - Fixed Background Image

Question

Is it possible to fix the position of a UITableViewController background image?

I've added the background image via the viewdidload method with the following code -

self.tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"blurredBGW"]];

But as the table is fairly long (and also contains static cells if that matters) it scrolls (and repeats) as you scroll down the table.

Answer 1

you can try to add the background image as UIView and not as UIColor, try this:

 self.tableView.backgroundView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:
                                 [UIImage imageNamed:@"blurredBGW.png"]];

Answer 2

for swift version 3.0.try this code.it will set a fixed background to a table view controller

 self.tableView.backgroundView = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "background.png")!)

Answer 3

UIImageView *tempImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"bg.png"]];
[tempImageView setFrame:self.tableView.frame];

self.tableView.backgroundView = tempImageView;
