Set background image to UIViewController (MonoTouch)

Question

I have a screen called HomeScreen that implements a UIViewController. I want to use a background image for this screen. Is there an event that I can override to set this background image in the HomeScreen.cs file?

Answer 1

try setting the backgroundcolor of your view

myview.BackgroundColor = UIColor.FromPatternImage(UIImage.FromFile("myimage.png")); 

Answer 2

Try adding the following to your MyViewNameViewController.cs file:

 public override void ViewDidLoad() { base.ViewDidLoad(); this.View.BackgroundColor = UIColor.FromPatternImage(UIImage.FromFile("splash.png")); } 

Answer 3

I voted for other answers, however today the iPhone has different sizes, and the correct way to download the image is to use the UIImage.FromBundle method:

Here is the catalog of claims in the project:

Image Management:

 public override void ViewDidLoad() { base.ViewDidLoad(); // replace "name" with the desired name in the asset catalog this.View.BackgroundColor = UIColor.FromPatternImage(UIImage.FromBundle("name")); }
