I wish that my uitextfield seems like the notes of the iPhone, yellow with the lines..
what's the best way to do this?
thanks in advance!
You mean UItextview right? ... its not a UITextField.
However, clear your background on the UITextView.
self.textView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
Then create ImageView that u put as a subview to your textview.
backgroundimage = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(0, -14,textView.frame.size.width, textView.fram.size.height)];
set a pattern image as backgroundColor. This will be your lines. Just create on or two lines . Then it should repeat itself.
backgroundimage.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"lines.png"];
then add your subview to the textview.
[self.textView addSubview:backgroundimage];
Good luck!

After a lot of search I am posting this Question, I have to place an image at the bottom of a UITextfield, I have tried it with the following code :
letterField.contentHorizontalAlignment = UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentCenter;
letterField.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentCenter;
letterField.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
letterField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleNone;
UIImageView *myView = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"text_line.png"]];
[letterField setLeftView:myView];
[letterField setRightViewMode:UITextFieldViewModeAlways];
[myView release];
// letterField.background = [UIImage imageNamed:#"text_line.png"];
// [letterField setBackground:[UIImage imageNamed:#"text_line.png"]];
letterField.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
letterField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyDone;
[yourtextfield insertSubview:imgViewTitleBackGround atIndex:0];// mgViewTitleBackGround is image view with background image.
//Or
[yourtextfield setBackground:[UIImage imageNamed:#"text_line.png"]];// you can add your image
yourtextfield.textColor = [UIColor redColor];
Hope, this will help you..enjoy
Sorry, my previous answer was totally wrong. From what I can see your image is text_line.png - i suppose it's some kind of separator line, what can i suggest you to try is create a new UIView with the bounds of the UITextField, then add the text field inside this view and add the UIImage view again as subview of this view centering it properly. I don't know if this will fit your needs, but you can give it a try.
I want to put an image in my UILabel which should be right aligned and write some text in the same UILabel which should be left aligned. How can i do that programatically? Thanks in advance
Set that image as background image
theLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"blah"]];
and write text as
thelabel.text = #"abc"
set the align of the label
[thelabel setTextAlignment:UITextAlignmentLeft];
I am not sure that you can actually put an image inside a UILabel, but if you can, you'll be using the addSubView: method.
UILabel *label = ....
label.text = #"Hi there";
UIImageView *image = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(x,y,width,height)];
[label addSubView:image];
Try it out and see if it works, if not, then you'll probably have to set the image's frame to a frame that floats along with the label's.
I have a custom UITextField with a UIImage as a background. Now when I type in a text into this UITextField and the cursor is blinking I get this:
I don't want to have a white image on the cursor blinking as it destroys the aesthetics.
I tried playing around with this and tried setting the background view to have the same color as the image, however the issue is that the UITextField shape is always a rectangle. How do I solve this?
Have you tried setting textField.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor]?
You can use a UIImageView for the image and then add a UITextField as a subview with clear background. Just create UIImageView *imageView and UITextField *textField, either programmatically or in the IB. If you go programmatically, use [imageView addSubview:textField]; and set the frame as you like. In the IB, just drop the textField onto the imageView and align it as you like.
I just tried it. It does not have the cursor highlighted like that.
set
textField.backgroundColor = [UIColor brownColor] // or your color
and
textField.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
For adding the textField into the UIView ;
//Do this where you create the UIView* view
UITextField *textField = [[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(110, 10, 185, 30)];
textField.clearsOnBeginEditing = NO;
textField.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentRight;
textField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyDone;
textField.textColor = [UIColor blackColor]; // or any other color
textField.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:15];
textField.delegate = self;
[view addSubview:textField];
What about creating a UIImageView with your image in it, and then embedding a borderless UITextField inside your image view? The text field will still be editable, but shouldn't interfere with the imageview behind it.
I've noticed that a number of apps have a custom background image for UITableView (or have set the background to a color.)
I can't find any API in the UITableView class to affect this, and my attempts in interface builder have failed (trying to set the color of the UIView)
Any suggestions? I've seen a third party app with pictures, so I know it can be done.
I just ran into the same question myself, but I found a way to do it that TomSwift touched on. As he mentioned, UITableView has a backgroundView property that is intended to do just what you're looking for. If you want to set the background color, you should instead use the backgroundColor property, as others have said. So:
// Set an image as the background of a UITableView called 'tableView'
UIImageView *bg = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"MyImage.png"]];
[tableView setBackgroundView:bg];
or:
// Set a solid color as the background of a UITableView called 'tableView'
// In this case I chose red
[tableView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
add this line in you code where you want to set background color for your image
[YourView(or imageView) setbackgroundColor:[UIColor
groupTableViewBackgroundColor]];
Thanks
UIImageView *image = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:
[UIImage imagenamed:#"no_image.png"]];
[self.view addSubview:image];
UITableView *tableview = [[UITableView alloc] init];
[image addSubview:tableview];
tableview.backgroundcolor = [UIColor clearColor];
try this. it works for me.
CALayer *background = [CALayer layer];
background.zPosition = -1;
background.frame = self.view.frame;
background.contents = [[UIImage imageNamed:#"background.jpg"] CGImage];
[tableView.layer addSublayer:background];
you need to add an image view and set the table background color to clear color see this link for tutorial
Set the backgroundView property of the tableView. You can set it to a view where you have set a custom backgroundColor, or you can set it to a UIImageView where you've set an image.
alternative solution of GhostRider
No coding
Make UiImageView by the interface builder,
put your image in resources.
set it in UIImageView Image property by the use of Inspector.
select table view and set it background color to clear(for this make opacity to 0 by using attribute inspector).
This is how I did it. Probably not the best way, but works well enough.
UIImage *bg = [UIImage imageNamed:#"bg"];
[bg drawInRect:self.view.window.frame];
UIImageView *bgView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.window.frame];
bgView.image = bg;
activityTable.backgroundView = bgView; //activityTable = UITableView
I'm building an iPhone app without the use of Interface Builder. I have set the background of a grouped UITableView in the following manor:
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"groupedBackground.png"]];
I'm trying to fix this background image so that it doesn't scroll with the table cells. Does anyone know how to do this?
We find that it works exactly as you ask, if instead of using backgroundColor, you assign to backgroundView, like so:
self.tableView.backgroundView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:
[UIImage imageNamed:#"background.png"]];
The table cells then scroll on top of the background, which is stationary. (This has been available since version 3.2 of the SDK, I believe.)
You can achieve a stationary background using a pattern image as follows:
UIView *patternView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:tableView.frame];
patternView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"groupedBackground.png"]];
patternView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
tableView.backgroundView = patternView;
A little late but maybe for all the others looking for a solution. I could get that work by calling the parentViewController in the viewDidLoad method of the UITableViewController:
self.parentViewController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"background.png"]];
self.tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
or with using just a background color:
self.parentViewController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor scrollViewTexturedBackgroundColor];
self.tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
It took me a while to figure that out but now it works like a charm.
You can place an additional view below UITableView and set its background, so if UITableView is transparent - you'll achieve your goal - it will have correct background and it will not scroll.
use this below code in swift 3.0 to achieve constant background for tableview
self.tableView.backgroundView = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "background.png")!)
