Creating a thin black circle (unfilled) within a filled white circle (UIButton) - ios

I'm trying to replicate the default camera button on iOS devices:
I'm able to create a white circular button with black button within it. However, the black button is also filled, instead of just being a thin circle.
This is what I have (most of it has been copied from different sources and put together, so the code isn't efficient)
The object represents the button,
func applyRoundCorner(_ object: AnyObject) {
//object.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
//object.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 0.0, height: 2.0)
object.layer.cornerRadius = (object.frame.size.width)/2
object.layer.borderColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
object.layer.borderWidth = 5
object.layer.masksToBounds = true
//object.layer.shadowRadius = 1.0
//object.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.5
var CircleLayer = CAShapeLayer()
let center = CGPoint (x: object.frame.size.width / 2, y: object.frame.size.height / 2)
let circleRadius = object.frame.size.width / 6
let circlePath = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: center, radius: circleRadius, startAngle: CGFloat(M_PI), endAngle: CGFloat(M_PI * 2), clockwise: true)
CircleLayer.path = circlePath.cgPath
CircleLayer.strokeColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
//CircleLayer.fillColor = UIColor.blue.cgColor
CircleLayer.lineWidth = 1
CircleLayer.strokeStart = 0
CircleLayer.strokeEnd = 1
object.layer.addSublayer(CircleLayer)
}

Basic Approach
You could do it like this (for the purpose of demonstration, I would do the button programmatically, using a playground):
let buttonWidth = 100.0
let button = UIButton(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: buttonWidth, height: buttonWidth))
button.backgroundColor = .white
button.layer.cornerRadius = button.frame.width / 2
Drawing Part:
So, after adding the button and do the desired setup (make it circular), here is part of how you could draw a circle in it:
let circlePath = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: CGPoint(x: buttonWidth / 2,y: buttonWidth / 2), radius: 40.0, startAngle: 0, endAngle: CGFloat.pi * 2, clockwise: true)
let circleLayer = CAShapeLayer()
circleLayer.path = circlePath.cgPath
circleLayer.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
circleLayer.strokeColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
circleLayer.lineWidth = 2.5
// adding the layer into the button:
button.layer.addSublayer(circleLayer)
Probably, circleLayer.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor is the part you missing 🙂.
Therefore:
Back to your case:
Aside Bar Tip:
For implementing applyRoundCorner, I would suggest to let it has only the job for rounding the view, and then create another function to add the circle inside the view. And that's for avoiding any naming conflict, which means that when reading "applyRoundCorner" I would not assume that it is also would add circle to my view! So:
func applyRoundedCorners(for view: UIView) {
view.layer.cornerRadius = view.frame.size.width / 2
view.layer.borderColor = UIColor.white.cgColor
view.layer.borderWidth = 5.0
view.layer.masksToBounds = true
}
func drawCircle(in view: UIView) {
let circlePath = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: CGPoint(x: view.frame.size.width / 2,y: view.frame.size.width / 2),
radius: view.frame.size.width / 2.5,
startAngle: 0,
endAngle: CGFloat.pi * 2,
clockwise: true)
let shapeLayer = CAShapeLayer()
shapeLayer.path = circlePath.cgPath
shapeLayer.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
shapeLayer.strokeColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
shapeLayer.lineWidth = 2.5
button.layer.addSublayer(shapeLayer)
}
and now:
applyRoundedCorners(for: button)
drawCircle(in: button)
That's seems to be better. From another aspect, consider that you want to make a view to be circular without add a circle in it, with separated methods you could simply applyRoundedCorners(for: myView) without the necessary of adding a circle in it.
Furthermore:
As you can see, I changed AnyObject to UIView, it seems to be more logical to your case. So here is a cool thing that we could do:
extension UIView {
func applyRoundedCorners(for view: UIView) {
view.layer.cornerRadius = view.frame.size.width / 2
view.layer.borderColor = UIColor.white.cgColor
view.layer.borderWidth = 5.0
view.layer.masksToBounds = true
}
func drawCircle(in view: UIView) {
let circlePath = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: CGPoint(x: view.frame.size.width / 2,y: view.frame.size.width / 2),
radius: view.frame.size.width / 2.5,
startAngle: 0,
endAngle: CGFloat.pi * 2,
clockwise: true)
let shapeLayer = CAShapeLayer()
shapeLayer.path = circlePath.cgPath
shapeLayer.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
shapeLayer.strokeColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
shapeLayer.lineWidth = 2.5
button.layer.addSublayer(shapeLayer)
}
}
Now both applyRoundedCorners and drawCircle are implicitly included to the UIView (which means UIButton), instead of passing the button to these functions, you would be able to:
button.applyRoundedCorners()
button.drawCircle()

You just need to add circle Shape layer with lesser width and height
Try this code
func applyRoundCorner(_ object: UIButton) {
object.layer.cornerRadius = (object.frame.size.width)/2
object.layer.borderColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
object.layer.borderWidth = 5
object.layer.masksToBounds = true
let anotherFrame = CGRect(x: 12, y: 12, width: object.bounds.width - 24, height: object.bounds.height - 24)
let circle = CAShapeLayer()
let path = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: object.center, radius: anotherFrame.width / 2, startAngle: 0, endAngle: .pi * 2, clockwise: true)
circle.path = path.cgPath
circle.strokeColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
circle.lineWidth = 1.0
circle.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
object.layer.addSublayer(circle)
}
Note: Change frame value according to your requirements and best user experience
Output

I have no doubt there are a million different ways to approach this problem, this is just one...
I started with a UIButton for simplicity and speed, I might consider actually starting with a UIImage and simply setting the image properties of the button, but it would depend a lot on what I'm trying to achieve
internal extension FloatingPoint {
var degreesToRadians: Self { return self * .pi / 180 }
var radiansToDegrees: Self { return self * 180 / .pi }
}
class RoundButton: UIButton {
override func draw(_ rect: CGRect) {
makeButtonImage()?.draw(at: CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0))
}
func makeButtonImage() -> UIImage? {
let size = bounds.size
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(CGSize(width: size.width, height: size.height))
defer {
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
}
guard let ctx = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext() else {
return nil
}
let center = CGPoint(x: size.width / 2.0, y: size.height / 2.0)
// Want to "over fill" the image area, so the mask can be applied
// to the entire image
let radius = min(size.width / 2.0, size.height / 2.0)
let innerRadius = radius * 0.75
let innerCircle = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: center,
radius: innerRadius,
startAngle: CGFloat(0.0).degreesToRadians,
endAngle: CGFloat(360.0).degreesToRadians,
clockwise: true)
// The color doesn't matter, only it's alpha level
UIColor.red.setStroke()
innerCircle.lineWidth = 4.0
innerCircle.stroke(with: .normal, alpha: 1.0)
let circle = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: center,
radius: radius,
startAngle: CGFloat(0.0).degreesToRadians,
endAngle: CGFloat(360.0).degreesToRadians,
clockwise: true)
UIColor.clear.setFill()
ctx.fill(bounds)
UIColor.white.setFill()
circle.fill(with: .sourceOut, alpha: 1.0)
return UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
}
}
nb: This is unoptimised! I would consider caching the result of makeButtonImage and invalidate it when the state/size of the button changes, just beware of that
Why is this approach any "better" then any other? I just want to say, it's not, but what it does create, is a "cut out" of the inner circle
It's a nitpick on my part, but I think it looks WAY better and is a more flexible solution, as you don't "need" a inner circle stroke color, blah, blah, blah
The solution makes use of the CoreGraphics CGBlendModes
Of course I might just do the whole thing in PaintCodeApp and be done with it

Add Shadow to CAShapeLayer with UIBezierPath

need some help adding a drop shadow to a line created with a CAShapeLayer / UIBezierPath
This code snippet produces the following line shape as in the screenshot below
let bounds = UIScreen.main.bounds
let shapeLayer = CAShapeLayer()
shapeLayer.lineWidth = 10.0
shapeLayer.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0 , width: bounds.width, height: bounds.width)
shapeLayer.lineWidth = 5.0
shapeLayer.strokeColor = UIColor.red.cgColor
let offset : CGFloat = 20
let arcCenter = shapeLayer.position
let radius = shapeLayer.bounds.size.width / 2.0 - offset
let startAngle = CGFloat(0.0)
let endAngle = CGFloat(1.0 * .pi)
let circlePath = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: arcCenter, radius: radius, startAngle: startAngle, endAngle: endAngle, clockwise: true)
shapeLayer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 0, height: 0)
shapeLayer.shadowColor = UIColor.red.cgColor
shapeLayer.shadowOpacity = 1.0
shapeLayer.shadowRadius = 25
shapeLayer.path = circlePath.cgPath
As you can see the shadow surrounds the outer part of the semi-circle shape.
Could anyone give me any hints on adding a drop shadow around the line only ?
Output:
UIView Extension:
extension UIView {
func renderCircle() {
let semiCircleLayer = CAShapeLayer()

arcs donut chart with CAShapelayer - border of underlaying layers are visible

I draw a donut chart with CAShapeLayers arcs. I draw it by putting one on top of another and the problem that underneath layers edges are visible.
code of drawing is following
for (index, item) in values.enumerated() {
var currentValue = previousValue + item.value
previousValue = currentValue
if index == values.count - 1 {
currentValue = 100
}
let layer = CAShapeLayer()
let path = UIBezierPath()
let separatorLayer = CAShapeLayer()
let separatorPath = UIBezierPath()
let radius: CGFloat = self.frame.width / 2 - lineWidth / 2
let center: CGPoint = CGPoint(x: self.bounds.width / 2, y: self.bounds.width / 2)
separatorPath.addArc(withCenter: center, radius: radius, startAngle: percentToRadians(percent: -25), endAngle: percentToRadians(percent: CGFloat(currentValue - 25 + 0.2)), clockwise: true)
separatorLayer.path = separatorPath.cgPath
separatorLayer.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor

What am I doing wrong ?
UPD
Tried code
let mask = CAShapeLayer()
mask.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: radius * 2, height: radius * 2)
mask.fillColor = nil
mask.strokeColor = UIColor.white.cgColor
mask.lineWidth = lineWidth * 2
let maskPath = CGMutablePath()
maskPath.addArc(center: CGPoint(x: self.radius, y: self.radius), radius: radius, startAngle: 0, endAngle: 2 * .pi, clockwise: true)
maskPath.closeSubpath()
mask.path = maskPath
self.layer.mask = mask
but it masks only inner edges, outer still has fringe
The fringe you're seeing happens because you're drawing exactly the same shape in the same position twice, and alpha compositing (as commonly implemented) is not designed to handle that. Porter and Duff's paper, “Compositing Digital Images”, which introduced alpha compositing, discusses the problem:
We must remember that our basic assumption about the
division of subpixel areas by geometric objects breaks
down in the face of input pictures with correlated mattes.
When one picture appears twice in a compositing expression,
we must take care with our computations of F A and
F B. Those listed in the table are correct only for uncorrelated
pictures.
When it says “matte”, it basically means transparency. When it says “uncorrelated pictures”, it means two pictures whose transparent areas have no special relationship. But in your case, your two pictures do have a special relationship: the pictures are transparent in exactly the same areas!
Here's a self-contained test that reproduces your problem:
private func badVersion() {
let center = CGPoint(x: view.bounds.width / 2, y: view.bounds.height / 2)
let radius: CGFloat = 100
let ringWidth: CGFloat = 44
let ring = CAShapeLayer()
ring.frame = view.bounds
ring.fillColor = nil
ring.strokeColor = UIColor.red.cgColor
ring.lineWidth = ringWidth
let ringPath = CGMutablePath()
ringPath.addArc(center: center, radius: radius, startAngle: 0, endAngle: 2 * .pi, clockwise: true)
ringPath.closeSubpath()
ring.path = ringPath
view.layer.addSublayer(ring)
let wedge = CAShapeLayer()
wedge.frame = view.bounds
wedge.fillColor = nil
wedge.strokeColor = UIColor.darkGray.cgColor
wedge.lineWidth = ringWidth
wedge.lineCap = kCALineCapButt
let wedgePath = CGMutablePath()
wedgePath.addArc(center: center, radius: radius, startAngle: 0.1, endAngle: 0.6, clockwise: false)
wedge.path = wedgePath
view.layer.addSublayer(wedge)
}
Here's the part of the screen that shows the problem:
One way to fix this is to draw the colors beyond the edges of the ring, and use a mask to clip them to the ring shape.
I'll change my code so that instead of drawing a red ring, and part of a gray ring on top of it, I draw a red disc, and a gray wedge on top of it:
If you zoom in, you can see that this still shows the red fringe at the edge of the gray wedge. So the trick is to use a ring-shaped mask to get the final shape. Here's the shape of the mask, drawn in white on top of the prior image:
Note that the mask is well away from the problematic area with the fringe. When I use the mask as a mask instead of drawing it, I get the final, perfect result:
Here's the code that draws the perfect version:
private func goodVersion() {
let center = CGPoint(x: view.bounds.width / 2, y: view.bounds.height / 2)
let radius: CGFloat = 100
let ringWidth: CGFloat = 44
let slop: CGFloat = 10
let disc = CAShapeLayer()
disc.frame = view.bounds
disc.fillColor = UIColor.red.cgColor
disc.strokeColor = nil
let ringPath = CGMutablePath()
ringPath.addArc(center: center, radius: radius + ringWidth / 2 + slop, startAngle: 0, endAngle: 2 * .pi, clockwise: true)
ringPath.closeSubpath()
disc.path = ringPath
view.layer.addSublayer(disc)
let wedge = CAShapeLayer()
wedge.frame = view.bounds
wedge.fillColor = UIColor.darkGray.cgColor
wedge.strokeColor = nil
let wedgePath = CGMutablePath()
wedgePath.move(to: center)
wedgePath.addArc(center: center, radius: radius + ringWidth / 2 + slop, startAngle: 0.1, endAngle: 0.6, clockwise: false)
wedgePath.closeSubpath()
wedge.path = wedgePath
view.layer.addSublayer(wedge)
let mask = CAShapeLayer()
mask.frame = view.bounds
mask.fillColor = nil
mask.strokeColor = UIColor.white.cgColor
mask.lineWidth = ringWidth
let maskPath = CGMutablePath()
maskPath.addArc(center: center, radius: radius, startAngle: 0, endAngle: 2 * .pi, clockwise: true)
maskPath.closeSubpath()
mask.path = maskPath
view.layer.mask = mask
}
Note that the mask applies to everything in view, so (in your case) you may need to move all of your layers into a subview has no other contents so it's safe to mask.
UPDATE
Looking at your playground, the problem is (still) that you're drawing two shapes that have exactly the same partially-transparent edge on top of each other. You can't do that. The solution is to draw the colored shapes larger, so that they are both completely opaque at the edge of the donut, and then use the layer mask to clip them to the donut shape.
I fixed your playground. Notice how in my version, the lineWidth of each colored section is donutThickness + 10, and the mask's lineWidth is only donutThickness. Here's the result:
Here's the playground:

.init(value: 40, color: .yellow),
.init(value: 50, color: .green)]
}
To me, it looks like the edges are antialiased resulting in somewhat transparent pixels. The orange of the background can then be seen through the 'blurred' edges of the overlay.
Have you tried making the overlaid layers opaque?
layer.Opaque = true; //C#
An alternative way may be to draw a thin circle with the background color on top the orange edges. This should work, but it's not the prettiest method.

iOS - How to achieve a particle animation like effect on iOS

I have seen a particle scattering effect on a number of websites and app design concepts on dribbble. The effect is like this:- https://www.craftedbygc.com/
The effect can also be seen as shown in this link:-
https://dribbble.com/shots/3511585-hello-dribbble
How can we achieve such an effect in an iOS application?
If you're looking for something simple, check out CAEmitterLayer and CAEmitterCell. Just do a CAEmitterLayer with an emitterShape of kCAEmitterLayerRectangle and you can crop it with yet another CAShapeLayer to get the shape you want:
Here is a sample that generates something like the above:
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
// define emitter layer as centered w 80% of smallest dimension
let image = emitterImage
let side = min(view.bounds.width, view.bounds.height) * 0.8
let origin = CGPoint(x: view.bounds.midX - side / 2, y: view.bounds.midY - side / 2)
let center = CGPoint(x: view.bounds.midX, y: view.bounds.midY)
let size = CGSize(width: side, height: side)
let rect = CGRect(origin: origin, size: size)
let emitterLayer = CAEmitterLayer()
emitterLayer.emitterShape = kCAEmitterLayerRectangle
emitterLayer.emitterSize = rect.size
emitterLayer.emitterPosition = center
// define cells
let cell = CAEmitterCell()
cell.birthRate = Float(size.width * size.height / 10)
cell.lifetime = 1
cell.velocity = 10
cell.scale = 0.1
cell.scaleSpeed = -0.1
cell.emissionRange = .pi * 2
cell.contents = image.cgImage
emitterLayer.emitterCells = [cell]
// add the layer
view.layer.addSublayer(emitterLayer)
// mask the layer
let lineWidth = side / 8
let mask = CAShapeLayer()
mask.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
mask.strokeColor = UIColor.white.cgColor
mask.lineWidth = lineWidth
mask.path = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: center, radius: (side - lineWidth) / 2, startAngle: .pi / 4, endAngle: .pi * 7 / 4, clockwise: true).cgPath
emitterLayer.mask = mask
}
var emitterImage: UIImage {
let rect = CGRect(origin: .zero, size: CGSize(width: 10, height: 10))
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(rect.size, false, 0)
#colorLiteral(red: 0.5725490451, green: 0, blue: 0.2313725501, alpha: 1).setFill()
UIBezierPath(arcCenter: CGPoint(x: rect.midX, y: rect.midY), radius: rect.midX, startAngle: 0, endAngle: .pi * 2, clockwise: true).fill()
let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return image!
}
I don't know any easy way to produce something exactly like your examples, but you'll find third party libraries/demos out there (e.g. http://flexmonkey.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/computing-particle-systems-in-swift.html).
SpriteKit is a good choice.It has a feature called Particle Emitter. Lots of tutorial you will find helpful just like this to make such an effect

How to find radius of image view?

I currently have an image view that contains a circular image.
I've set it up like so:
profileImageView.layer.cornerRadius = self.profileImageView.frame.size.width / 2
profileImageView.clipsToBounds = true
I'm attempting to draw an arc around the circle using UIBezierPath, and I would like to pass the radius of the Image View for the radius parameter.
let circlePath = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: CGPoint(x: profileImageView.frame.size.width/2, y: profileImageView.frame.size.height/2), radius: IMG_VIEW_RADIUS, startAngle: CGFloat(0), endAngle:CGFloat(M_PI * 2), clockwise: true)
How would I go about doing that?
Swift 3.0
Another way
I just added a imageView like this
let imageView = UIImageView(frame: CGRect(x: 100, y: 100, width: 200, height: 200))
imageView.backgroundColor = UIColor.green
imageView.layer.cornerRadius = imageView.frame.size.width / 2
imageView.clipsToBounds = true
self.view.addSubview(imageView)
Doing the circular bezier path
let circlePath = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: CGPoint(x: imageView.frame.size.width/2,y: imageView.frame.size.height/2), radius: CGFloat((imageView.frame.size.width/2) - 3.5), startAngle: CGFloat(0), endAngle:CGFloat(M_PI * 2), clockwise: true)
let shapeLayer = CAShapeLayer()
shapeLayer.path = circlePath.cgPath
//fill color
shapeLayer.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
//stroke color
shapeLayer.strokeColor = UIColor.white.cgColor
//line width
shapeLayer.lineWidth = 2.0
//finally adding the shapeLayer to imageView's layer
imageView.layer.addSublayer(shapeLayer)
Now creating an outside border using the same concept
let outerCirclePath = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: CGPoint(x: imageView.frame.size.width/2,y: imageView.frame.size.height/2), radius: CGFloat(imageView.frame.size.width/2 ), startAngle: CGFloat(0), endAngle:CGFloat(M_PI * 2), clockwise: true)
let outerLayer = CAShapeLayer()
outerLayer.path = outerCirclePath.cgPath
//fill color
outerLayer.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
//stroke color
outerLayer.strokeColor = UIColor.blue.cgColor
//line width
outerLayer.lineWidth = 15.0
imageView.layer.addSublayer(outerLayer)
Now change the zPosition of shape layer created for the inner layer as the radius of this is smaller than the outer layer and it should be added at the top in order to be visible
shapeLayer.zPosition = 2
You need to tweak a bit with the radius of the first inner layer. In my case I just subtracted the radius with 3.5
just use border width and border color
profileImageView?.layer.cornerRadius = 5.0
profileImageView?.layer.borderColor = UIColor.white.cgColor

iOS: Draw circle as percentage in UIView

I have one UIView in circular shape, I need to show that UIView border colour in percentage value like if percentage value is 50%, it should fill half border colour of UIView. I have used UIBeizer path addArcWithCenter however I didn't get perfect solution. Please help me in this
You can achieve it with following code, simply adjust strokeStart and strokeEnd:
// round view

I've written my custom function for doing this in Swift 5. I'm sure I'll save someone a lot of time. Have fun with it.
func buildRoundView(roundView: UIView, total : Int, current : Int){
roundView.layer.cornerRadius = roundView.frame.size.width / 2
roundView.backgroundColor = .clear
let width :CGFloat = 10.0
let reducer :CGFloat = 0.010
let circlePath = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: CGPoint (x: roundView.frame.size.width / 2, y: roundView.frame.size.height / 2),
radius: roundView.frame.size.width / 2,
startAngle: CGFloat(-0.5 * Double.pi),
endAngle: CGFloat(1.5 * Double.pi),
clockwise: true)
let multiplier = CGFloat((100.000 / Double(total)) * 0.0100)
for i in 1...total {
let circleShape = CAShapeLayer()
circleShape.path = circlePath.cgPath
if i <= current {
circleShape.strokeColor = UIColor.systemRed.cgColor
}
else{
circleShape.strokeColor = UIColor.lightGray.cgColor
}
circleShape.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
circleShape.lineWidth = width
circleShape.strokeStart = CGFloat(CGFloat(i - 1) * multiplier) + reducer
circleShape.strokeEnd = CGFloat(CGFloat(i) * multiplier) - reducer
roundView.layer.addSublayer(circleShape)
}
}
According #gvuksic's answer:
Swift 5:
// round view
let roundView = UIView(
frame: CGRect(
x: circleContainerView.bounds.origin.x,
y: circleContainerView.bounds.origin.y,
width: circleContainerView.bounds.size.width - 4,
height: circleContainerView.bounds.size.height - 4
)
)
roundView.backgroundColor = .white
roundView.layer.cornerRadius = roundView.frame.size.width / 2
// bezier path
let circlePath = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: CGPoint (x: roundView.frame.size.width / 2, y: roundView.frame.size.height / 2),
radius: roundView.frame.size.width / 2,
startAngle: CGFloat(-0.5 * .pi),
endAngle: CGFloat(1.5 * .pi),
clockwise: true)
// circle shape
let circleShape = CAShapeLayer()
circleShape.path = circlePath.cgPath
circleShape.strokeColor = UIColor.customColor?.cgColor
circleShape.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
circleShape.lineWidth = 4
// set start and end values
circleShape.strokeStart = 0.0
circleShape.strokeEnd = 0.8
// add sublayer
roundView.layer.addSublayer(circleShape)
// add subview
circleContainerView.addSubview(roundView)
And the result:
