transparent UITextView

Question

Hi, just a quick one:

How do I make a UITextView transparent? I built the view in Interface Builder and placed a UITextView into it and it covers the background.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Change background color, and use opacity slider to make it fully transparent.

Programmatically:

textView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

Answer 2

If you are in the Interface Builder: Press cmd+1 to get to the Attributes Instructor pane

Scroll down to the section "View" And click at Background the two Arrows - there u can choose now between several kinds of colorization. In this case "Clear Color"
