Custom background for UINavigationBar problems

Question

I\'ve managed to add a custom background to my navigation bar by using:

UIImageView *iv = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@\"UINavigat         


        

Answer 1

On iOS 5 this will not work but the good news is that there is a simple way of doing this

[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"name"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];

NOTE: This will only work on iOS 5 and above so make sure you check iOS version if you want to be backwards compatible.
