UITabBar selected background image

Question

i am setting a background image to the selected item of tab bar.

UIImage* tabBarBGImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"bg_image"];
[tabBar setSelectionIndicatorImage:tabBarBGImage];

But the background image comes outside of tabbar. How can we set the content mode ?

Some answers on stack overflow suggest image resizing, is that the only solution?

Answer 1

Try to set clipsToBounds and avoid autoresizing of sub views

tabBar.autoresizesSubviews = NO;
tabBar.clipsToBounds = YES;
