Background Image overlaps Refresh Control

In xcode 7.1, I have used the refresh control feature of a TableView. I have also used the following code to set an image to the background

UIImageView *tempImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"image.png"]];
[tempImageView setFrame:self.tableView.frame];
self.tableView.backgroundView = tempImageView;

This image overlaps the activity indicator on the app so you can't see if its working. Is there a way to put the activity indicator back on top?

Thanks

Solution

  • Use this line

    self.tableView.backgroundColor =
  [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"image.png"]];

    Instead of using 

    self.tableView.backgroundView = tempImageView;

    Note: but your UIImage size should be greater/equal to UITableView size
