How to round the corners of a button - ios

Question

I have a rectangle image (jpg) and want to use it to fill the background of a button with rounded corner in xcode.
I wrote the following:
UIButton *button = [[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect] retain];
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(x, y, cardWidth, cardHeight);
button.frame = frame;
[button setBackgroundImage:backImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
However, the button I get with that approach doesn't have its corners rounded: it is instead a plain rectangle that looks exactly like my original image. How can I get instead an image with rounded corner to represent my button?
Thanks!

Answer 1

I tried the following solution with the UITextArea and I expect this will work with UIButton as well.
First of all import this in your .m file -
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
and then in your loadView method add following lines
yourButton.layer.cornerRadius = 10; // this value vary as per your desire
yourButton.clipsToBounds = YES;

Answer 2

You can achieve by this RunTime Attributes
we can make custom button.just see screenshot attached.
kindly pay attention :
in runtime attributes to change color of border follow this instruction
create category class of CALayer
in h file
#property(nonatomic, assign) UIColor* borderIBColor;
in m file:
-(void)setBorderIBColor:(UIColor*)color {
self.borderColor = color.CGColor;
}
-(UIColor*)borderIBColor {
return [UIColor colorWithCGColor:self.borderColor];
}
now onwards to set border color check screenshot
thanks

Pushing to the limits corner radius up to get a circle:
self.btnFoldButton.layer.cornerRadius = self.btnFoldButton.frame.height/2.0;
If button frame is an square it does not matter frame.height or frame.width. Otherwise use the largest of both ones.

Answer 4

You may want to check out my library called DCKit. It's written on the latest version of Swift.
You'd be able to make a rounded corner button/text field from the Interface builder directly:
It also has many other cool features, such as text fields with validation, controls with borders, dashed borders, circle and hairline views etc.

Answer 5

UIButton* closeBtn = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 50, 90, 35)];
//Customise this button as you wish then
closeBtn.layer.cornerRadius = 10;
closeBtn.layer.masksToBounds = YES;//Important

Answer 6

Import QuartCore framework if it is not there in your existing project, then import #import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h> in viewcontroller.m
UIButton *button = [[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect]];
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(x, y, width, height); // set values as per your requirement
button.layer.cornerRadius = 10;
button.clipsToBounds = YES;

Answer 7

First set width=100 and Height=100 of button
Objective C Solution
YourBtn1.layer.cornerRadius=YourBtn1.Frame.size.width/2;
YourBtn1.layer.borderColor=[uicolor blackColor].CGColor;
YourBtn1.layer.borderWidth=1.0f;
Swift 4 Solution
YourBtn1.layer.cornerRadius = YourBtn1.Frame.size.width/2
YourBtn1.layer.borderColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
YourBtn1.layer.borderWidth = 1.0

Answer 8

Try my code. Here you can set all properties of UIButton like text colour, background colour, corner radius, etc.
extension UIButton {
func btnCorner() {
layer.cornerRadius = 10
clipsToBounds = true
backgroundColor = .blue
}
}
Now call like this
yourBtnName.btnCorner()

Answer 9

For Objective C:
submitButton.layer.cornerRadius = 5;
submitButton.clipsToBounds = YES;
For Swift:
submitButton.layer.cornerRadius = 5
submitButton.clipsToBounds = true

Answer 10

If you want a rounded corner only to one corner or two corners, etc... read this post:
[ObjC] – UIButton with rounded corner - http://goo.gl/kfzvKP
It's a XIB/Storyboard subclass. Import and set borders without write code.

Answer 11

For Swift:
button.layer.cornerRadius = 10.0

Answer 12

updated for Swift 3 :
used below code to make UIButton corner round:
yourButtonOutletName.layer.cornerRadius = 0.3 *
yourButtonOutletName.frame.size.height

Answer 13

Swift 4 Update
I also tried many options still i wasn't able to get my UIButton round cornered.
I added the corner radius code inside the viewDidLayoutSubviews() Solved My issue.
func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
anyButton.layer.cornerRadius = anyButton.frame.height / 2
}
Also we can adjust the cornerRadius as follows:
func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
anyButton.layer.cornerRadius = 10 //Any suitable number as you prefer can be applied
}

You can use outlet connection and didSet function for your button on the view;
#IBOutlet weak var button: UIButton!{
didSet {
button.layer.cornerRadius = 5;
button.layer.masksToBounds = true;
}
}
