I have a UIButton, that needs to be white and 50% transparent. In the same time I need shadow. But shadow is a rectangle and it could be seen through button background. Is it possible to make something with that?
The code I have now:
self.WhiteBtn.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:255 green:255 blue:255 alpha:0.9];
self.WhiteBtn.opaque = NO;
self.WhiteBtn.clipsToBounds = NO;
self.WhiteBtn.layer.shadowColor = [UIColor blackColor].CGColor;
self.WhiteBtn.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.5;
self.WhiteBtn.layer.shadowRadius = 5;
self.WhiteBtn.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0,0);
There were 2 initial problems: the shape of the shadow (which was rectangular initially) and the button background color being blended with the shadow color. Also, the UIColor initializer accepts all the arguments in range [0.0, 1.0]. Finally, I made some more tweaks and got this (see both the code and a sample button below).
Code:
let shadowPathWidth: CGFloat = 1.0 // fine tune your shadow's width with this
let layerAndShadowRadius: CGFloat = 5.0 //and its radius with this
WhiteBtn.backgroundColor = UIColor(red:1, green:1, blue:1, alpha:0.9)
WhiteBtn.layer.cornerRadius = layerAndShadowRadius
WhiteBtn.layer.shadowPath = CGPathCreateCopyByStrokingPath(CGPathCreateWithRoundedRect(WhiteBtn.bounds, layerAndShadowRadius, layerAndShadowRadius, nil), nil, shadowPathWidth, CGLineCap.Round, CGLineJoin.Bevel, 0.0)
WhiteBtn.layer.shadowOpacity = 1.0;
WhiteBtn.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0,0)

I want to create circle image like the one in Instagram's story profile image. It should has two circles, inner circle will be white, outer circle color will be self-color not gradient. I have tried that code but there is only one circle. How to add second circle to imageView layer ?
self.imageView.layer.cornerRadius = 30;
self.imageView.layer.borderWidth = 3;
self.imageView.layer.borderColor = [UIColor whiteColor].CGColor;
self.imageView.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
Could you help me?
Thanks :)
You can use this 3rd party library which provides multiple borders to an UIImageView.
And, If you want to do it by yourself, you can make UIImageView a subView of UIView. Then make the UIView round and set borderWidth and colour in it. Do the same for the UIImageView.
Here's an example:
Add your UIView and UIImageView like this.
Then add this code:
-(void)viewDidLayoutSubviews {
[super viewDidLayoutSubviews];
_profileImage.layer.cornerRadius = 30;
_profileImage.layer.borderWidth = 3;
_profileImage.layer.borderColor = [UIColor whiteColor].CGColor;
_profileImage.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
_profileImage.clipsToBounds = true;
_profileImage.layer.cornerRadius = _profileImage.frame.size.height/2;
_superViewImage.clipsToBounds = true;
_superViewImage.layer.masksToBounds = true;
_superViewImage.layer.cornerRadius = _superViewImage.frame.size.height/2;
_superViewImage.layer.borderWidth = 0.5;
_superViewImage.layer.borderColor = (__bridge CGColorRef _Nullable)([UIColor greenColor]);
}
And result image will be this:
Set the colours you want for both borders.
Hope it helps. :)
I have searched and tried the various solutions but without success. What I would like is a button background with rounded corners and a shadow. I can make one or the other happen but not both at the same time. Any help would be very welcome.
viewDepositButton_.layer.cornerRadius = 5.0;
CAGradientLayer *viewLayer = [CAGradientLayer layer];
[viewLayer setColors:aloColors];
[viewLayer setFrame:viewDepositButton_.bounds];
[viewDepositButton_.layer insertSublayer:viewLayer atIndex:0];
viewDepositButton_.clipsToBounds = YES;
viewDepositButton_.layer.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.46 green:0.46 blue:0.46 alpha:1.0].CGColor;
viewDepositButton_.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.8;
viewDepositButton_.layer.shadowRadius = 8;
viewDepositButton_.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(8.0f, 8.0f);
viewDepositButton_.clipsToBounds = YES; or viewDepositButton_.layer.masksToBounds = YES; will clip everything outside your layer - including the shadow.
However you have few options:
Put your button under a parent view, which will have the same corner radius and the shadow you want, but will have clipsToBounds = NO. This way you'll have your button as a subview of a view which has the shadow.
Use an image for your button, which has the rounded corners and set your buttons clipsToBounds to NO
Hope this helps
I was able to get your code to work by the following and it looks fine. Make sure you call your methods in proper sequence.
viewDepositButton_.layer.cornerRadius = 5.0;
viewDepositButton_.layer.borderWidth = 1.0;
viewDepositButton_.layer.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.46 green:0.46 blue:0.46 alpha:1.0].CGColor;
viewDepositButton_.layer.shadowRadius = 8;
viewDepositButton_.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.8;
viewDepositButton_.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(8.0f, 8.0f);
CAGradientLayer *viewLayer = [CAGradientLayer layer];
[viewLayer setColors:aloColors];
[viewLayer setFrame:viewDepositButton_.bounds];
[viewDepositButton_.layer insertSublayer:viewLayer atIndex:0];
[viewDepositButton_ viewLayer];}
Here is my code for setting up a rounded corner button with shadow.
button.layer.cornerRadius = 15;
button.layer.shadowRadius = 2.0f;
button.layer.shadowColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor].CGColor;
button.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(-1.0f, 3.0f);
button.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.8f;
button.layer.masksToBounds = NO;
Overall, the code is pretty straightforward. Please comment if you have any question, concerns or bugs.
I show shadow using the following code.
UIBezierPath *shadowPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRect:CGRectMake(317, 0, 1, self.navigationController.view.frame.size.height)];
self.navigationController.view.superview.layer.masksToBounds = NO;
self.navigationController.view.layer.shadowColor = [UIColor blackColor].CGColor;
self.navigationController.view.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(3, 0); /*Change value of X n Y as per your need of shadow to appear to like right bottom or left bottom or so on*/
self.navigationController.view.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.5f;
self.navigationController.view.layer.shadowPath = shadowPath.CGPath;
I want to remove this shadow.I have tried some thing but not working? Any help is appreciated.
try by replacing balckColor to clearColor and Opacity to 0.0
self.navigationController.view.layer.shadowColor = [UIColor clearColor].CGColor;
self.navigationController.view.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.0f;
can you not just set opacity to 0.0.
self.navigationController.view.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.0;
Thanks!!
I'm creating a UILabel to which I set the background color and corner radius with the following code:
self.scoreLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor DISRed];// custom red`
self.scoreLabel.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
self.scoreLabel.layer.cornerRadius = self.scoreLabel.frame.size.width/2;
self.scoreLabel.layer.borderWidth = 8.0;
self.scoreLabel.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor DISNavy] CGColor];
However the background's color seems to be leaking to the edge of the border (see image). Any ideas why? Any idea on how to fix it?
I was also facing the same problem. It was a silly mistake. I always forget to tick clipToBounds in case of cornerRadius.
So, just ticking the Clip to Bounds for UILabel in Storyboard fixed my problem.
And yes, we need to keep the below code too:
label.layer.masksToBounds = true
I ran into the same problem with the UIButton's background color leaking around the edge of its border.
Instead of setting the UIButton background color on the UIButton, set it on the UIButton's layer.
Replace:
self.scoreLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor DISRed];// custom red`
With this:
self.scoreLabel.layer.backgroundColor = [[UIColor DISRed] CGColor];// custom red`
I created my own UILabel and background colour does not seem to be leaking.
Write this in .h file of your project.
UILabel *label;
Write this in .m file of your project.
label=[[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(100, 300, 100, 100)];//Set frame of label in your viewcontroller.
[label setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];//Set background color of label.
[label setText:#"Label"];//Set text in label.
[label setTextColor:[UIColor blackColor]];//Set text color in label.
[label setTextAlignment:NSTextAlignmentCenter];//Set text alignment in label.
[label.layer setCornerRadius:50.0];//Set corner radius of label to change the shape.
[label.layer setBorderWidth:8.0f];//Set border width of label.
[label setClipsToBounds:YES];//Set its to YES for Corner radius to work.
[label.layer setBorderColor:[UIColor greenColor].CGColor];//Set Border color.
[self.view addSubview:label];//Add it to the view of your choice.
It is probably anti aliasing issue. you can better fix it by adding a bezier path around the corners.
CAShapeLayer *subLayer = [[CAShapeLayer alloc] init];
[subLayer setFillColor:[UIColor clearColor].CGColor];
[subLayer setStrokeColor:[UIColor whiteColor].CGColor];
[subLayer setLineWidth:1.0];
[subLayer setPath:[UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:imageView.bounds cornerRadius:imageView.layer.cornerRadius].CGPath];
[imageView.layer addSublayer:subLayer];
For those who are still facing the issue of border color leaking out:
Go through the below code, please note you will need to set frames & border width as per your requirement, I'm setting the position as view's center
let badgeSize: CGFloat = 10
let redBadge = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: view.center.x, y:view.center.y, width: badgeSize, height: badgeSize))
redBadge.layer.borderColor = UIColor.white.cgColor
redBadge.layer.borderWidth = 2
redBadge.backgroundColor = .red
redBadge.layer.cornerRadius = badgeSize * 0.5
redBadge.clipsToBounds = true
redBadge.layer.masksToBounds = true
redBadge.maskLayerOnView(radius: badgeSize * 0.5)
view.addSubview(redBadge)
Secondly, we need to write an extension on UIView
extension UIView{
func maskLayerOnView(radius: CGFloat){
let maskLayer = CAShapeLayer()
maskLayer.path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: self.bounds,
byRoundingCorners: [.allCorners],
cornerRadii: CGSize(width: radius,
height: radius)).cgPath
self.layer.mask = maskLayer
}
}
This code snippet removes the border color separating out, one can replicate this behaviour on any kind of views.
For detailed explanation please see this article.
Well, a lot of answers...
I found the problem persists, as long as the UIViews background color is used and not the background color of the UIViews 'layer'. In addition, of course, masking needs to be enabled.
For a UICollectionViewCell subclass the code is:
- (void)prepare
{
self.contentView.layer.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor.CGColor;
self.contentView.layer.cornerRadius = 25.0;
self.contentView.layer.borderColor = UIColor.blackColor.CGColor;
self.contentView.layer.borderWidth = 1.0;
//Enable to optimize image views: self.contentView.layer.shouldRasterize = YES;
//Enable to optimize image views: self.contentView.layer.rasterizationScale = UIScreen.mainScreen.scale;
self.contentView.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
self.contentView.clipsToBounds = YES;
}
To make the setting of the background color more comfortable and less error prone, some could add this:
/*
setBackgroundColor:
*/
- (void)setBackgroundColor:(UIColor *)p_BackgroundColor
{
super.backgroundColor = nil;
self.contentView.layer.backgroundColor = p_BackgroundColor.CGColor;
self.contentView.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
self.contentView.clipsToBounds = YES;
}
Anyone know how to add a background drop view to a UITextfield? I have tried this code, but this adds a shadow to the text not the UITextfield view.
self.txtFirstName.layer.shadowOpacity = 1.0;
self.txtFirstName.layer.shadowRadius = 0.0;
self.txtFirstName.layer.shadowColor = [UIColor blackColor].CGColor;
self.txtFirstName.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0.0, -1.0);
