Make specific corners of UIView round

Question

I did a bit of research, and I see, there is no easy way to make only top right and top left corners of the UIView round, right?

ps. This code makes all 4 corners round which is smth. I don't want.

  #import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>

 self.layer.cornerRadius = 5;
 self.layer.masksToBounds = YES;

Answer 1

You can do it with this snippet:

// Set top right & left corners
[self setMaskTo:yourView byRoundingCorners:UIRectCornerTopLeft|UIRectCornerTopRight];

EDIT

Sorry, I forgot this

- (void)setMaskTo:(UIView*)view byRoundingCorners:(UIRectCorner)corners
{
    UIBezierPath *rounded = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:view.bounds
                                                  byRoundingCorners:corners
                                                        cornerRadii:CGSizeMake(8.0, 8.0)];
    CAShapeLayer *shape = [[CAShapeLayer alloc] init];
    [shape setPath:rounded.CGPath];    
    view.layer.mask = shape;
}

PS: as I said in the comment, if you use things like this when displaying UITableViewCell cells, I've found that it's always a better choice to use background images because this kind of drawing stuff always affects performance.

Answer 2

I tried extensions for the UIView once and it did not work for me because it have caused problems when drawing a cell

I got a better and easier solution now in 2 steps that worked perfectly good :)

1) One line of code (Swift 2.0) - it wounds all 4 corners of a view:

YourView.layer.cornerRadius = 10

2) and one addition in storyboard you add 1 view with regular corners where you need no round corners and adjust constraints as you need : note that small regular corner View should be behind the main view. This is how it looks in storyboard

Here you can see constraints needed for the small view
