Border around UITextView is not showing up - iphone

Question

I am trying to add border around UITextView by using
self.textView.layer.borderWidth = 1;
self.textView.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor brownColor] CGColor];
but it is not showing up. If anyone can help me with why it is not showing up. Eventhough i have added Quartz framework. But still is not showing up.
#import "uitextviewViewController.h"
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
#implementation uitextviewViewController
#synthesize textView;
#synthesize navBar;
- (void)dealloc {
[navBar release];
[textView release];
[super dealloc];
}
- (void) viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UIBarButtonItem * button = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone
target:self
action:#selector(done:)];
[[self navigationItem] setRightBarButtonItem:button];
[button release];
self.textView = [[[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.frame] autorelease];
self.textView.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
self.textView.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Arial" size:15];
self.textView.delegate = self;
self.textView.backgroundColor = [UIColor brownColor];
self.textView.layer.borderWidth = 1;
self.textView.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor brownColor] CGColor];
self.textView.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
self.textView.text = #"This is UITextView\n\nThis is UITextView\n\nThis is UITextView\n\nThis is UITextView\n\nThis is UITextView.";
self.textView.scrollEnabled = YES;
[self.view addSubview: self.textView];
}
I will appreciate help.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Following code is use for the give the arc of the UITextbox or other controller for that you need to use the #import frame work then you can use the following code for the border or arc shape on the control.
imgThumb.layer.cornerRadius = 5;
imgThumb.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
imgThumb.layer.borderColor = [UIColor grayColor].CGColor;
imgThumb.layer.borderWidth = 0.9;
If any query regarding this please comment here...

Here, use this.
Modify it as you'd like.
UITextFieldWrapper.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface UITextFieldWrapper : UIView
#property (nonatomic, weak, readonly) UITextField * textField;
#end
UITextFieldWrapper.m
#import "UITextFieldWrapper.h"
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
#implementation UITextFieldWrapper
#synthesize textField = _textField;
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self) {
self.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
self.layer.borderWidth = 1.0;
self.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor blackColor] CGColor];
self.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
self.clipsToBounds = YES;
UITextField * textField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(3, 3, frame.size.width - 6, 21)];
textField.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[self addSubview:textField];
_textField = textField;
}
return self;
}
#end
