Do you have to add it programmatically? Or there is an option from the main.storyboard interface builder?and if there is a way from storyboard , How do you add it ?
Something like this :
Thanks
You would have to add it programatically.
Do this in your UINavigationController Class
self.navigationBar.shadowColor = UIColor.blackColor().CGColor
self.navigationBar.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(5, 5)
self.navigationBar.shadowRadius = 5
If you'd like to do it from Storyboard you have to create an image and set the Shadow Image.
It is however easier to do it programatically on the either a UINavigationController subclass, or within the first view in the UINavigationController stack if you just want a very simple shadow effect.
self.navigationController.navigationBar.layer.shadowColor = [[UIColor blackColor] CGColor];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(2.0f, 2.0f);
self.navigationController.navigationBar.layer.shadowRadius = 4.0f;
self.navigationController.navigationBar.layer.shadowOpacity = 1.0f;

This question already has answers here:
Is it possible to set UIView border properties from interface builder?
(9 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I have required to set border color UIView using User Defined Runtime Attributesin identity inspector. By default Color isBlackColor`. If any constraints is available in iOS then tell me.
This will work -
UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] init];
...
//Add a Your Color border
view.layer.borderColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:1.0f alpha:1.0f].CGColor;
view.layer.borderWidth = 1.0f; //make border 1px thick
you can set border color like,
yourView.layer.borderColor = [UIColor orangeColor].CGColor;
yourView.layer.borderWidth = 1.0; //you have to give width to make border visible
Update according to comment :
you can set runtime attributes for view like below screenshot,
But it will display black border because layer uses cgcolor and you can't get cgcolor reference in interface builder. so you can't set layer color directly as runtime attribute. It's better to set from code as i have mentioned above.
If you hardly want to set color from runtime attribute only then you can try Peter Deweese's answer.
try this code it will help you:
yourViewNAme.layer.borderWidth = 1;
yourViewNAme.layer.borderColor = [UIColor DesiredColour].CGColor;
please try this code, ViewController.h
declare #property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIView *searchView; In ViewController.m.
viewDidLoad Method:
searchView.layer.cornerRadius = 8.0f;
searchView.layer.borderColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor].CGColor;
searchView.layer.borderWidth = 0.8f;
searchView.layer.shadowColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor].CGColor;
searchView.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.8f;
searchView.layer.shadowRadius = 3.0f;
searchView.layer.shadowOffset =CGSizeMake(2.0f, 2.0f);
I want to create a black UIView with transparent circles.
I think about create one view (with black color and transparence 50%), and add multiple circles inside of it, but I don't know how to set the transparence for each. I know how to create a circle View (an example: how to draw a custom uiview that is just a circle iphone-app).
I want to do is something like iShowcase library but with multiple dots:
Any clue? thanks.
SOLVED
I took a look to the code of iShowcase library and I solved my probblem. now, I am working in a library based in iShowcase library.
I will post here when I finish it.
Please have a look of below link hope this will helpful for you.
Link : Here is Answer to set shadow in your view.
Use alpha for your circleView. As in your link example,then add as subviews in yourmainview:
UIView *circleView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10,20,100,100)];
circleView.alpha = 0.5;
circleView.layer.cornerRadius = 50;
circleView.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[yourmainview addSubview: circleView];
Btw in your picture I think white circles have 100% alpha. You can use individual alpha for each circleView, or use a randomizer :)
As for updated example why don't you add more buttons and showcase in your h file, synthesize them and use multiple instances .... showcase setupShowcaseForTarget:btn_custom_1 title:#"title" details:#"other"]; ? I think you should modify main classes, becouse what you want are different containerView for multiple views [circles].
Using modifyed iShowcase.m [- (void) calculateRegion], and different views as containers, I was able to make something like: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2iwao6&s=8#.VLPTRqYsRE8 So the answer is: use custom views for multiple showcase [ex [showcase2 setContainerView:self.view2];], then custom frame for each showcase [ showcase2.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,100,100);] I don;t habe time to fine tuning the example, but yes, you can achieve desired result...
I finally solved my question inspired by iShowCase library I did this simple class and Upload to github.

Simplest what you can do is to have your main view (black 50% transparant) and add shapes to the mask layer of that.
So basically:
//Set up your main view.
UIView* mainView = [UIView new];
mainView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
mainView.alpha = 0.5;
UIView* circle1 = [YourCircleClassHere new];
UIView* circle2 = [YourCircleClassHere new];
UIView* circle3 = [YourCircleClassHere new];
UIView* container = [UIView new];
[UIView addSubview:circle1];
[UIView addSubview:circle2];
[UIView addSubview:circle3];
//Make a new layer to put images in to mask out
CALayer* maskLayer = [CALAyer layer];
//Assign the mask view to the contents layer.
maskLayer.contents = (id)container;
//This will set the mask layer to the top left corner.
maskLayer.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,container.frame.size.width,container.frame.size.height);
//Lastly you assign the layer to the mask layer of the main view.
mainView.layer.mask = maskLayer;
//Applies basically the same as clipToBounds, but a bit reversed..
mainView.layer.mask = true/false;
On a sidenote:
I achieved this with images "contents = (id) [UIImage CGImage]", but I'm sure it should work with UIViews as well.
Also mind some mistakes, since I just wrote this from my mind, also I didn't test this out.. So keep me updated if it works/!works ^_^
i have over 20 buttons in my XCode project, and i want to add border to every of them. is it possible to like select all the UIButtons in the storyboard and then perform codes on them?
// For example
buttons.borderColor = [[UIColor darkGrayColor] CGColor];
buttons.cornerRadius = 8;
buttons.borderWidth = 1;
You could use the UIAppearance protocol.

Hey I'm new to iPhone and I have been trying to set shadow for UIImageView using shadow gradient image i.e. "Image-Shadow.png" using below code.
imageView.layer.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage
imageNamed:#"Image-Shadow.png"]].CGColor;
imageView.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 1);
imageView.layer.shadowOpacity = 1;
imageView.clipsToBounds = NO;
imageView.layer.shouldRasterize = YES;
My problem is, i am not getting shadow in my UIImageView using above code. Can you please tell me that is this the correct way to add shadow image in UIImageView or it is possible with some other way?
Problem is with the image. I don't think you can provide a pattern image to create a shadow!
Give a proper color like [UIColor blackColor].CGColor and it should work.
The problem is with this line:
imageView.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 1);
where you are setting the shadow, but not giving it a visible space to display itself.
Positive or negative values should be given to both parameters.
Positive values stretch "down" and "to the right" of your view, negative values stretch "to the left" and "to the up" of your view.
here is my solution as per my requirement :
//set shadow gradient on image view
UIView *shadowView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:imageView.frame]; //add view behind the image view
shadowView.layer.contents = (id) [UIImage imageNamed:#"Image-Shadow.png"].CGImage;
[imageView addSubview:shadowView];
Thanks to all.
The App Store app on iOS 7 uses a frosted glass-type effect where it is possible to see the view behind. Is this using an API built into iOS 7 or is it custom code. I was hoping it would be the former but I can't see any obvious references in the documentation. Obvious things like (like setting the alpha property on the modal view) don't seem to have any effect.
To see an example, open the App Store app and press the button at the top-right.
With the release of iOS 8.0, there is no need for getting an image and blurring it anymore. As Andrew Plummer pointed out, you can use UIVisualEffectView with UIBlurEffect.
UIViewController * contributeViewController = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
UIBlurEffect * blurEffect = [UIBlurEffect effectWithStyle:UIBlurEffectStyleLight];
UIVisualEffectView *beView = [[UIVisualEffectView alloc] initWithEffect:blurEffect];
beView.frame = self.view.bounds;
contributeViewController.view.frame = self.view.bounds;
contributeViewController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[contributeViewController.view insertSubview:beView atIndex:0];
contributeViewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationOverCurrentContext;
[self presentViewController:contributeViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
Solution that works before iOS 8
I would like to extend on rckoenes' answer:
As emphasised, you can create this effect by:
Convert the underlying UIView to an UIImage
Blur the UIImage
Set the UIImage as background of your view.
Sounds like a lot of work, but is actually done pretty straight-forward:
1. Create a category of UIView and add the following method:
-(UIImage *)convertViewToImage
{
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.bounds.size);
[self drawViewHierarchyInRect:self.bounds afterScreenUpdates:YES];
UIImage *image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return image;
}
2. Make an image of the current view and blur it by using Apple's Image Effect category (download)
UIImage* imageOfUnderlyingView = [self.view convertViewToImage];
imageOfUnderlyingView = [imageOfUnderlyingView applyBlurWithRadius:20
tintColor:[UIColor colorWithWhite:1.0 alpha:0.2]
saturationDeltaFactor:1.3
maskImage:nil];
3. Set it as background of your overlay.
-(void)viewDidLoad
{
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
UIImageView* backView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.frame];
backView.image = imageOfUnderlyingView;
backView.backgroundColor = [[UIColor blackColor] colorWithAlphaComponent:0.6];
[self.view addSubview:backView];
}
Just reimplemented Sebastian Hojas' solution in Swift:
1. Create a UIView extension and add the following method:
extension UIView {
func convertViewToImage() -> UIImage{
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.bounds.size);
self.drawViewHierarchyInRect(self.bounds, afterScreenUpdates: true)
let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return image;
}
}
2. Make an image of the current view and blur it by using Apple's Image Effect (I found a reimplementation of this in Swift here: SwiftUIImageEffects
var imageOfUnderlyingView = self.view.convertViewToImage()
imageOfUnderlyingView = imageOfUnderlyingView.applyBlurWithRadius(2, tintColor: UIColor(white: 0.0, alpha: 0.5), saturationDeltaFactor: 1.0, maskImage: nil)!
3. Set it as background of your overlay.
let backView = UIImageView(frame: self.view.frame)
backView.image = imageOfUnderlyingView
backView.backgroundColor = UIColor.blackColor().colorWithAlphaComponent(0.5)
view.addSubview(backView)
I think this is the easiest solution for a modal view controller that overlays everything with a nice blur (iOS8)
UIViewController * contributeViewController = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
UIBlurEffect * blurEffect = [UIBlurEffect effectWithStyle:UIBlurEffectStyleLight];
UIVisualEffectView *beView = [[UIVisualEffectView alloc] initWithEffect:blurEffect];
beView.frame = self.view.bounds;
contributeViewController.view.frame = self.view.bounds;
contributeViewController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[contributeViewController.view insertSubview:beView atIndex:0];
contributeViewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationOverCurrentContext;
[self presentViewController:contributeViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
There is no API available in the iOS 7 SDK which will allow you to "frost" the underlaying view controller.
What I have done is render the underlaying view to an image, which I then frosted and set that as background the the view that is being presented.
Apple provides a good example for this: https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action?name=WWDC%202013
The project you want is called, iOS_RunningWithASnap
A little simplier way to achieve this (based on Andrew Plummer's answer) with Interface Builder (also it removes side effect that appears in Andrews answer):
In IB add Visual Effect View to your View Controller under your other views;
Make top, bottom, left, right constraints from Visual Effect View to top (parent) View, set all of them to 0;
Set Blur Style;
Add the code where you present your new fancy View Controller:
UIViewController *fancyViewController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"yourStoryboardIDFOrViewController"];
fancyViewController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
fancyViewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationOverCurrentContext;
[self presentViewController:fancyViewController
animated:YES
completion:nil];
Actually, the second and third lines are VERY important - otherwise controller will blink and then turn black.
Since iOS 8, this works:
let vc = UIViewController()
vc.view = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIBlurEffect(style: .Light))
vc.modalPresentationStyle = .OverFullScreen
let nc = UINavigationController(rootViewController: vc)
nc.modalPresentationStyle = .OverFullScreen
presentViewController(nc, animated: true, completion: nil)
The key is the .OverFullScreen flag and ensuring the viewControllers have a blur UIVisualEffectView that is the first visible view.
As #rckoenes said, there is no Apple provided framework to get that effect. But some people out there already built good alternatives, like this one for example:
https://github.com/JagCesar/iOS-blur/
A couple of alternative approaches that also work on iOS 5 and 6:
FXBlurView: https://github.com/nicklockwood/FXBlurView
iOS RealtimeBlur: https://github.com/alexdrone/ios-realtimeblur
Fast & easy solution
with XIB support you can use for the old school boys

Instead of presenting the viewController as a modalView, you could add it as a child viewController and create a custom animation. You would then only need to change the default view of the viewController to a UIToolBar in viewDidLoad.
This will allow you to mimic the appstore's blurred modal view as closely as possible.
I have uploaded my take of the blurred view controller to [GitHub][1]. It also comes with a segue subclass so you can use it in your storyboards.
Repository: https://github.com/datinc/DATBlurSegue
Apple released the UIImageEffect category for those effects. Those category should be added manually to the project, and it support iOS7.
You can use UIToolbar as background.
By default UIToolbar have 50px height.
Add auto layout constraints on UIToolbar.
Then select height constraint and modify it.
Hierarchy will look like this:
UIView -> clear colour for background.
- UIToolbar
- Other contents.
