Giving UIView rounded corners

Question

My login view has a subview which has a UIActivityView and a UILabel saying "Signing In…". This subview has corners which aren't rounded. How can I make them round?

Is there any way to do it inside my xib?

Answer 1

You can use following custom UIView class which can also change border color and width. As this is IBDesignalbe You can change the attributes in interface builder as well.

import UIKit

@IBDesignable public class RoundedView: UIView {

    @IBInspectable var borderColor: UIColor = UIColor.white {
        didSet {
            layer.borderColor = borderColor.cgColor
        }
    }

    @IBInspectable var borderWidth: CGFloat = 2.0 {
        didSet {
            layer.borderWidth = borderWidth
        }
    }

    @IBInspectable var cornerRadius: CGFloat = 0.0 {
        didSet {
            layer.cornerRadius = cornerRadius
        }
    }

}

Try this

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h> // not necessary for 10 years now  :)

...

view.layer.cornerRadius = 5;
view.layer.masksToBounds = true;

Note: If you are trying to apply rounded corners to a UIViewController's view, it should not be applied in the view controller's constructor, but rather in -viewDidLoad, after view is actually instantiated.

Answer 3

Please import Quartzcore framework then you have to set setMaskToBounds to TRUE this the very important line.

Then: [[yourView layer] setCornerRadius:5.0f];

Answer 4

Do this programatically in obj c

UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 50,    200, 200)];

view.layer.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor].CGColor;
view.layer.cornerRadius = 20.0;
view.layer.frame = CGRectInset(v.layer.frame, 20, 20);

[view.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(1, 0);
view.layer.shadowColor = [[UIColor blackColor] CGColor];
view.layer.shadowRadius = 5;
view.layer.shadowOpacity = .25;][1]

[self.view addSubview:view];

We Can Also do this from stoaryboard.

 layer.cornerRadius  Number  5

Answer 5

ON Xcode 6 Your try

     self.layer.layer.cornerRadius = 5.0f;

or

    self.layer.layer.cornerRadius = 5.0f;
    self.layer.clipsToBounds = YES;

Answer 6

You can also use an image:

UIImage *maskingImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"bannerBarBottomMask.png"];
CALayer *maskingLayer = [CALayer layer];
maskingLayer.frame = CGRectMake(-(self.yourView.frame.size.width - self.yourView.frame.size.width) / 2
                                , 0
                                , maskingImage.size.width
                                , maskingImage.size.height);
[maskingLayer setContents:(id)[maskingImage CGImage]];
[self.yourView.layer setMask:maskingLayer];
