Tiled Background Image: Can I do that easily with UIImageView?

iphone, uiimageview

Solution

If I understand your question correctly you can use `colorWithPatternImage:` on `UIColor` then set the background color on a `UIView`.

If you must use a `UIImageView` you can do the same but whatever image you place in the image view will draw in front of the tiled image.

Problem

I have a fullscreen background image that is tiled, i.e. it has to be reproduced a few times horizontally and vertically in order to make a big one. Like in the browsers on ugly home pages ;) Is UIImageView my friend for this?
