UITableViewController - Fixed Background Image - ios

Question

Is it possible to fix the position of a UITableViewController background image?
I've added the background image via the viewdidload method with the following code -
self.tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"blurredBGW"]];
But as the table is fairly long (and also contains static cells if that matters) it scrolls (and repeats) as you scroll down the table.

Answer 1

you can try to add the background image as UIView and not as UIColor, try this:
self.tableView.backgroundView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:
[UIImage imageNamed:#"blurredBGW.png"]];

Answer 2

for swift version 3.0.try this code.it will set a fixed background to a table view controller
self.tableView.backgroundView = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "background.png")!)

Answer 3

UIImageView *tempImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"bg.png"]];
[tempImageView setFrame:self.tableView.frame];
self.tableView.backgroundView = tempImageView;

Answer 4

Make the background of your table (and the cells) transparent, and set the image for the view underneath the table.

Answer 5

for
swift 2.2
you may use the following line of code
self.tableView.backgroundView = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "xxxx.png"))

I prefer to configure background with creating its specific xib, because background can be difficult. I do next:
1) Create a class, that helps me to load nib
class UIXIBView: UIView {
var view: UIView!
func setupXIBWithName(_ nibName: String) {
view = self.getViewFromNibWithName(nibName)
self.addSubview(view)
view.frame = self.bounds
view.autoresizingMask = [UIViewAutoresizing.flexibleWidth, UIViewAutoresizing.flexibleHeight]
}
func getViewFromNibWithName(_ nibName: String) -> UIView {
let bundle = Bundle.main
let views = bundle.loadNibNamed(nibName, owner: self, options: nil)! as [AnyObject]
let view = views[0] as! UIView
return view
}
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
self.setupXIBWithName(String(describing: type(of: self)))
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
self.setupXIBWithName(String(describing: type(of: self)))
}
}
2) I create your specific view, for example let it be LKBackgroundView.swift, and inherit it from UIXIBView
class LKBackgroundView: UIXIBView {
// You can add your own logic there or override smth
}
3) I create xib with the same name LKBackgroundView.xib
4) I set FileOwner's class to LKBackgroundView inside xib, don't make a mistake by setting LKBackgroundView to the view class
5) Configure you xib like you want
6) Initialize your view inside ViewDidLoad inside your View Controller
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
LKBackgroundView(frame:tableView.bounds)
tableView.backgroundView = backgroundView
}
7) Test it

Xamarin/C# Solution
TableView.BackgroundView = new UIImageView(UIImage.FromBundle("blurredBGW"))
