Adding A Background Image In Interface Builder

Question

I\'m trying to add a custom image as a background for my application using Xcode 4.2, but I\'m not too sure how to do it. I can add plain colors as the background in Interface B

Answer 1

Swift 3.0 :

Above code for swift 3.0 is

import UIKit
@IBOutlet weak var mainUIView: UIView!


class fileName: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

    mainUIView.backgroundColor = UIColor(patternImage: UIImage(named: "your_image_name.png")!)

   }
}

Hope it Helps Some1 =]

if you're using Autolayout then you have to struggle a lot coz the image which you're going to add to the background, will not set itself perfectly , as we're doing Programmatically !

If anyone finds an answer of this question, and can be done by interface builder.. Than It would be helpful for all of us =D..

Lastly Add a ImageView to that view ,that'll do the job.
