How to set cornerRadius for only top-left and top-

Question

Is there a way to set cornerRadius for only top-left and top-right corner of a UIView?

I tried the following, but it end up not seeing the view anymore.

UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];

CALayer *layer = [CALayer layer];
UIBezierPath *shadowPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:frame byRoundingCorners:(UIRectCornerTopLeft|UIRectCornerTopRight) cornerRadii:CGSizeMake(3.0, 3.0)];
layer.shadowPath = shadowPath.CGPath;
view.layer.mask = layer;

Pay attention to the fact that if you have layout constraints attached to it, you must refresh this as follows in your UIView subclass:

func layoutSubviews() {
    super.layoutSubviews()
    roundCorners(corners: [.topLeft, .topRight], radius: 3.0)
}

If you don't do that it won't show up.

And to round corners, use the extension:

extension UIView {
   func roundCorners(corners: UIRectCorner, radius: CGFloat) {
        let path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: bounds, byRoundingCorners: corners, cornerRadii: CGSize(width: radius, height: radius))
        let mask = CAShapeLayer()
        mask.path = path.cgPath
        layer.mask = mask
    }
}

Here is a Swift version of @JohnnyRockex answer

extension UIView {

    func roundCorners(_ corners: UIRectCorner, radius: CGFloat) {
         let path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: self.bounds, byRoundingCorners: corners, cornerRadii: CGSize(width: radius, height: radius))
         let mask = CAShapeLayer()
         mask.path = path.cgPath
         self.layer.mask = mask
    }

}

view.roundCorners([.topLeft, .bottomRight], radius: 10)

Note

If you're using Auto Layout, you'll need to subclass your UIView and call roundCorners in the view's layoutSubviews for optimal effect.

class View: UIView {
    override func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()

        self.roundCorners([.topLeft, .bottomLeft], radius: 10)
    }
}

Answer 3

A way to do this programmatically would be to create a UIView over the top part of the UIView that has the rounded corners. Or you could hide the top underneath something.

And finally… there is CACornerMask in iOS11! With CACornerMask it can be done pretty easy:

let view = UIView()
view.clipsToBounds = true
view.layer.cornerRadius = 10
view.layer.maskedCorners = [.layerMaxXMinYCorner, .layerMinXMinYCorner] // Top right corner, Top left corner respectively

Answer 5

Try this code,

UIBezierPath *maskPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:view.bounds byRoundingCorners:( UIRectCornerTopLeft | UIRectCornerTopRight) cornerRadii:CGSizeMake(5.0, 5.0)];

CAShapeLayer *maskLayer = [[CAShapeLayer alloc] init];
maskLayer.frame = self.view.bounds;
maskLayer.path  = maskPath.CGPath;

view.layer.mask = maskLayer;

Swift 4

extension UIView {

    func roundTop(radius:CGFloat = 5){
        self.clipsToBounds = true
        self.layer.cornerRadius = radius
        if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
            self.layer.maskedCorners = [.layerMaxXMinYCorner, .layerMinXMinYCorner]
        } else {
            // Fallback on earlier versions
        }
    }

    func roundBottom(radius:CGFloat = 5){
        self.clipsToBounds = true
        self.layer.cornerRadius = radius
        if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
            self.layer.maskedCorners = [.layerMaxXMaxYCorner, .layerMinXMaxYCorner]
        } else {
            // Fallback on earlier versions
        }
    }
}
