Customizing UIPickerView (background and spacing)

Question

I would like to change the white background in a UIPickerView to an image of my own.

Is this possible?

Also, I have managed to get my UIPickerView to scroll

Answer 1

I just figured out how to apply background color or image in the picker view. Hope it may help someone.

Just define a category in the file where you want to you picker view as follow:

@implementation UIPickerView(Extension)

-(void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{

    NSArray* subviews = [self subviews];
    for(UIView* view in subviews)
    {
        if([view isKindOfClass:[UITableView class]])
        {
            view.backgroundColor = appColor;
        }
    }
    [super drawRect:rect];
}

@end

You can look further at subviews for more customization.
