IOS 7 UISegmentControl set tint color not working

Question

IOS 7 UISegmentControl set tint color not working. How am I going to solve it?

Here is my code for adding:

UISegmentedControl *segmentControl = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:[NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:@"YES",@"NO", nil]];

[segmentControl setTintColor:[UIColor orangeColor]];

but the color only appear at border, i want it to color whole background.

As I referred from the Library,

@property(nonatomic) UISegmentedControlStyle segmentedControlStyle NS_DEPRECATED_IOS(2_0, 7_0, "The segmentedControlStyle property no longer has any effect");*

Answer 1

The UISegmentedControl relates to the tint color of the UINavigationBar. If you change the color, the tint color of the UISegmentedControl will change accordingly.

[[UINavigationBar appearance]  setTintColor:[UIColor blackColor]];

Answer 2

I think you may want:

[segmentControl setBackgroundColor:[UIColor orangeColor]];
