how to change the background color in UIPickerView?

Question

I want to change the background color in UIPickerView, Is it possible?

Answer 1

Finally managed to do it. I try it for a picker view with one component.

1. set the picker view background color to clear color by wizard or by code as follow:

   Picker1.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
   

2. Set alpha value to 0.0f for the picker view subviews numbered 0, 1 and 3. (Don't know why there is subview 2 thought). Do it by code after the first load data for the picker view as follow (it will throw an exception if you do this in the DidViewLoad).

   [(UIView*)[[Picker1 subviews] objectAtIndex:0] setAlpha:0.0f];
   [(UIView*)[[Picker1 subviews] objectAtIndex:1] setAlpha:0.0f];
   [(UIView*)[[Picker1 subviews] objectAtIndex:3] setAlpha:0.0f];
   

3. Don't forget to clear background color for the label you are sending to the picker view in the viewForRow method.

   lbl.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
