[MonoTouch] Background image not filling screen

[René Ruppert]

I think ViewDidLoad() is too early. Try putting the code in
ViewWillAppear(). That’s when the view’s coordinates are final.

Betreff: [MonoTouch] Background image not filling screen

 

A screenshot demonstrating my problem can be seen here:

I have an iPad app with a UIToolbar at the top of the screen and a
UITabBarController at the bottom of the screen.  I want to fill the space
between the two with an image.  I’ve used the following code to do so:

 

public override void ViewDidLoad()

{

  base.ViewDidLoad();

  

  UIImageView backgroundImageView = new UIImageView(this.View.Bounds);

  backgroundImageView.Image =
UIImage.FromBundle(“Images/background_image.png”);

  backgroundImageView.ContentMode = UIViewContentMode.ScaleAspectFill;

  this.View.AddSubview(backgroundImageView);

}

 

I’ve used this same code in other apps without the toolbar/tab bar
controller and it filled the entire screen.  As you can see from my
screenshot, in this app I am ending up with a gap at the bottom between the
image and the tab bar.  I’m probably missing something obvious.  Any
pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks!

 

Chris
