I have created a sample picker-view which will display some details. Setting the Background color using:

_pickerView.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];

doesn't seems to be working . But I wish I could create a picker view like the below image

enter image description here

What I was trying to do is , the entire PickerView background color should not be white, it should fill with the UIColor which I am giving. Is that possible?? How it can be done ??
