I'm preparing my iPhone app to publish on iOS 5 GM and came across a bug with UIView. When I override the drawRect method on a subclass, the Simulator shows the desired result but when I try to test on an actual device, the drawRect override doesn't have any effect at all.
I even placed a logging statement inside a drawRect override and confirmed that it is being called.
Has anyone else noticed this problem?
Here's a override code I'm using:
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
DebugLog( @"*** calling drawRect ***" );
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
// draw the dark gray background
CGContextSetFillColor(context, [SkinManager getWhiteColor]);
CGContextFillRect(context, CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, rect.size.width, rect.size.height));
// draw the text field background in white
CGContextSetFillColor(context, [SkinManager getDarkGray]);
CGContextFillRect(context, CGRectMake(2.0, 2.0, rect.size.width - 4, rect.size.height - 4));
}
Here's the code for generating color
+(const CGFloat*) getDarkGray {
UIColor *color = [UIColor colorWithRed:51/255.0 green:51/255.0 blue:51/255.0 alpha:1];
return [self getCGColor:color];
}
+(const CGFloat*) getCGColor: (UIColor*)color {
CGColorRef colorref = [color CGColor];
const CGFloat *components = CGColorGetComponents(colorref);
return components;
}
Again, this code works perfectly in iOS 4.x and in the Simulator for iOS 5. The only place that is broken is iOS 5 Device.
