Adding a background to the entire UISplitViewController

Hey, I want to add a background image to my UISplitViewController, which spans the entire iPad screen and displays under my main and detailed views.

I tried this in several different ways and have not had time yet. If I put it in splitView.view, it just overlays on top of everything in both subtask controllers. If I put it in the main view controller, I can do something normally (put a UITableView on top of it, etc.), but then it covers everything in the detailed view controller. Another route I tried was to place the background image in my own view controller, put the entire section view controller inside this view controller, but no matter what I set the alpha of my split view controller, the background is still stays black.

If someone can point me to get this job, that would be great, thanks!

It worked!

First, follow Apple's example of creating a UISplitViewController programmatically here: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#featuredarticles/ViewControllerPGforiPhoneOS/iPadControllers/iPadControllers.html

then add this line before adding VC to the window:

splitVC.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"background.jpg"]];
