Description

Trying to use a remote image for a background of a view.

view = Ti.UI.createView({
backGroundImage:'http:url-to-image' });

The image will appear on an Android device but not on the iPhone.

Can this be looked into?

Tested on a Samsung Galaxy S2 and on the iOS simulator using TiSDK 2.2.0v20120904101713, unable to reproduce the issue. Ticket marked as resolved.

   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({backgroundColor: 'white'});
   
   var image = Ti.UI.createImageView({
       image: 'http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/400x/26207872.jpg'
   });
   
   win.add(image);
   win.open();

why it's marked 'Resolved'? the problem is still there. In Junaid's comment, the code slice is using the ImageView, but not the View. Currently, the backgroundImage still can not fetch image with remote URL.

Agreed, the test code does not actually test the bug as reported. I had someone asking about remote background images the other day in IRC, too.

BackgroundImage on view is still not working on iOS (3.2.3 GA); it's working on Android Testcode:

   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({});
   var bg = Ti.UI.createView({
                   backgroundColor : "transparent", backgroundImage : "http://...../image.jpg", top : 0, bottom : 0, left : 0, right : 0, width : Ti.UI.FILL, height : Ti.UI.FILL
   });
   win.add(bg);

using an imageview with image set to the external URL will work.
