How to use the default background image for iPhone UIView?

Question

How can I use the default background image for a UIView?

Answer 1

theView.backgroundColor = [UIColor groupTableViewBackgroundColor];

Answer 2

You can do something like this with UIView class:

[yourview setBackgroundColor:
  [[UIColor alloc] 
     initWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"yourpattern.png"]]];

I always prefer using Interface Builder and just put a UIImageView occupying all UIView and send that UIImageView to back though...
