# How to set background image into UIPickerView in iOS?

I have created an [iPhone application](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/23139/can-i-embed-a-custom-font-in-an-iphone-application). In our application I used UIPickerView [controller](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/273/passing-values-from-controller-to-view-in-asp-dot-net-mvc), I want to know that is it possible to change the [background](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/65/how-to-change-background-color-of-tab-control-in-c-sharp) of UIPickerView!\
Please [guide](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/44463/business-to-business-vat-reclaiming-a-guide-for-your-employees) me how to do it Or can we make UIPickerView skin [transparent](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/1784/wpf-webbrowser-on-transparent-window)?

Yes, of course we can change the background of UIPickerView Controller.\
First of all create a UIView which will be used as background of UIPickerView and after we will add this view as subview of picker view, like this:

```
UIView *backgroundViewForPickerView = [[UIView alloc]                                  initWithFrame:CGrectMake(0,0,150,60)];[backgroundViewForPickerView setBackgroundColor: [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:                                  [UIImage imageNamed:@"BackgroundView.png"]]];[[[pickerView subViews] objectAtIndex:2] addSubview: backgroundViewForPickerView];
```

I hope it will be helpful for you. thank you.
