[MonoTouch] Background image not filling screen

[Chris House]

René - thank you!  Moving the code to ViewWillAppear() did the trick.

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
