in many iPhone apps I could see UITextView with rounded corners. Is there a simple way to achieve this? or do I need to create a custom UITextView? any links to examples showing how to achieve this?
Thanks!
If you are using iOS 3+, you can do the following:
myTextView.clipsToBounds = YES;
myTextView.layer.cornerRadius = 10.0f;
Add QuartzCore framework to the app and then
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
UITextView* txtView = [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50, 50, 300, 100)];
txtView.layer.cornerRadius = 5.0;
txtView.clipsToBounds = YES;
Just a quick reminder: you can do it easily from the the stroyboard/xib:
Or create an extension, and set it programmatically or through the storyboard
extension UIView {
#IBInspectable var cornerRadius: CGFloat {
set {
layer.cornerRadius = newValue
layer.masksToBounds = newValue > 0
}
get {
return layer.cornerRadius
}
}
}
The easiest way I have found is to put the Rounded Rect button with no text under the UITextView, take the UITextView smaller than button.
Done.
Swift 4.2 🔸
myTextView.layer.cornerRadius = 20
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 text view/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.

I am using a UITextField. I want to increase its height but I have not found any property to do this. How can I achieve this?
You can not change the height of the rounded rect border style.
To set the height, just choose any border style other than rounded border in Xcode:
I finally found the fix for this!
As we have found, IB doesn't allow us to change the height of the rounded corner border style. So change it to any of the other styles and set the desired height. In the code change the border style back.
textField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;
CGRect frameRect = textField.frame;
frameRect.size.height = 100; // <-- Specify the height you want here.
textField.frame = frameRect;
If you are using Auto Layout then you can do it on the Story board.
Add a height constraint to the text field, then change the height constraint constant to any desired value. Steps are shown below:
Step 1: Create a height constraint for the text field
Step 2: Select Height Constraint
Step 3: Change Height Constraint's constant value
1.) Change the border Style in the InterfaceBuilder.
2.) After that you're able to change the size.
3.) Create an IBOutlet to your TextField and enter the following code to your viewDidLoad() to change the BorderStyle back.
textField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;
Swift 3:
textField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyle.roundedRect
Choose the border style as not rounded
Set your height
in your viewWillAppear set the corners as round
yourUITextField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;
Enjoy your round and tall UITextField
Follow these two simple steps and get increase height of your UItextField.
Step 1: right click on XIB file and open it as in "Source Code".
Step 2: Find the same UITextfield source and set the frame as you want.
You can use these steps to change frame of any apple controls.
An update for iOS 6 : using auto-layout, even though you still can't set the UITextField's height from the Size Inspector in the Interface Builder (as of Xcode 4.5 DP4 at least), it is now possible to set a Height constraint on it, which you can edit from the Interface Builder.
Also, if you're setting the frame's height by code, auto-layout may reset it depending on the other constraints your view may have.
I know this an old question but I just wanted to add if you would like to easily change the height of a UITextField from inside IB then simply change that UITextfield's border type to anything other than the default rounded corner type. Then you can stretch or change height attributes easily from inside the editor.
swift3
#IBDesignable
class BigTextField: UITextField {
override func didMoveToWindow() {
super.didMoveToWindow()
if window != nil {
borderStyle = .roundedRect
}
}
}
Interface Builder
Replace UITextField with BigTextField.
Change the Border Style
to none.
My pathetic contribution to this dumb problem. In IB set the style to none so you can set the height, then in IB set the class to be a subclass of UITextField that forces the style to be rounded rect.
#interface JLTForcedRoundedRectTextField : UITextField
#end
#implementation JLTForcedRoundedRectTextField
- (void)awakeFromNib
{
self.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;
}
#end
It kept me from having to hack the XIB file or writing style code into my view controller.
A UITextField's height is not adjustable in Attributes Inspector only
when it has the default rounded corners border style, but adding a
height constraint (plus any other constraints which are required to
satisfy the autolayout system - often by simply using Add Missing
Constraints) to it and adjusting the constraint will adjust the
textfield's height. If you don't want constraints, the constraints can
be removed (Clear Constraints) and the textfield will remain at the
adjusted height.
Works like a charm.
In Swift 3 use:
yourTextField.frame.size.height = 30
try this
UITextField *field = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 80, 280, 120)];
UITextField *txt = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(100, 100, 100, 100)];
[txt setText:#"Ananth"];
[self.view addSubview:txt];
Last two arguments are width and height, You can set as you wish...
You can use frame property of textfield to change frame
Like-Textfield.frame=CGRECTMake(x axis,y axis,width,height)
This is quite simple.
yourtextfield.frame = CGRectMake (yourXAxis, yourYAxis, yourWidth, yourHeight);
Declare your textfield as a gloabal property & change its frame where ever you want to do it in your code.
Happy Coding!
If you're creating a lot of UITextFields it can be quicker to subclass UITextViews and override the setFrame method with
-(void)setFrame:(CGRect)frame{
[self setBorderStyle:UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect];
[super setFrame:frame];
[self setBorderStyle:UITextBorderStyleNone];
}
This way you can just call
[customTextField setFrame:<rect>];
I was having the same issue. tried some of the solutions here but rather than doing all this mumbo-jumbo. I found just setting height constraint is enough.
My question is already specified in the title: I would like to get rid of the black line drawn on the bottom of the UISearchBar. Any ideas?
Here's an image of what I mean:
UPDATE:
I think that the line is part of the UITableView's tableHeaderView. I still don't know how to remove it.
Try this
searchBar.layer.borderWidth = 1;
searchBar.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor lightGrayColor] CGColor];
Why:
So, I've dug into the API's trying to figure out why this is happening. Apparently whomever wrote the UISearchBar API is rasterizing the lines onto an image and setting it as it's backgroundImage.
Solution:
I propose a simpler solution, if you want to set the backgroundColor and get rid of the hairlines:
searchBar.backgroundColor = <#... some color #>
searchBar.backgroundImage = [UIImage new];
Or if you just need a background image without the hairlines:
searchBar.backgroundImage = <#... some image #>
I have 0.5px black horizontal lines both on top and on the bottom of my UISearchBar. The only way I had so far to get rid of them is by setting its style to Minimal:
mySearchBar.searchBarStyle = UISearchBarStyleMinimal;
Solution for
XCode 10.1 Swift 4.2
I fixed this by adding a subview to the searchBar's view stack like so:
CGRect rect = self.searchBar.frame;
UIView *lineView = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, rect.size.height-2,rect.size.width, 2)];
lineView.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[self.searchBar addSubview:lineView];
Here, self.searchBar is an UISearchBar pointer of my controller class.
Swift 4.2:
controller.searchBar.layer.borderWidth = 1
controller.searchBar.layer.borderColor = UIColor(red: 255/255, green: 253/255, blue: 247/255, alpha: 1.0).cgColor
Answer based on Ayush's answer.
This is ridiculous to have to go through hoops and bounds for this little 1 px line. I've been googling around for a couple of hours to get rid of it. I tried combos of different answer to get it to work. When I came back here I realized Oxcug already had it but it's in Objective-C and that's not native for me.
Anyway here is the answer in Swift 5. If you want to have a color background inside the actual search textField I added that too.
// these 2 lines get rid of the 1 px line
searchBar.backgroundColor = .white
searchBar.backgroundImage = UIImage()
// this line will let you color the searchBar textField where the user actually types
searchBar.searchTextField.backgroundColor = UIColor.lightGray
Set the tableHeaderView to nil before putting your UISearchBar there.
If that does not help, try to cover it up. First add your search bar to a generic and appropriately sized UIView (say, "wrapper") as a subview, then
CGRect frame = wrapper.frame;
CGRect lineFrame = CGRectMake(0,frame.size.height-1,frame.size.width, 1);
UIView *line = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:lineFrame];
line.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor]; // or whatever your background is
[wrapper addSubView:line];
[line release];
And then add it to the tableHeaderView.
self.tableView.tableHeaderView = wrapper;
[wrapper release];
This question has already been solved but maybe my solution can help someone else. I had a similar problem, except I was trying to remove the 1px top border.
If you subclass UISearchBar you can override the frame like this.
- (void)setFrame:(CGRect)frame {
frame.origin.y = -1.0f;
[super setFrame:frame];
self.clipsToBounds = YES;
self.searchFieldBackgroundPositionAdjustment = UIOffsetMake(0, 1.0f);
}
Or if you would like to fix the bottom pixel you could do something like this, (untested).
- (void)setFrame:(CGRect)frame {
frame.origin.y = 1.0f;
[super setFrame:frame];
self.clipsToBounds = YES;
self.searchFieldBackgroundPositionAdjustment = UIOffsetMake(0, -1.0f);
}
Only for simplicity of the example are the clipsToBounds and searchFieldBackgroundPositionAdjustment in the setFrame.
Also the searchFieldBackgroundPositionAdjustment is only needed to re-center the search field.
UPDATE
It turns out that the tableView will shift 1px from updating the origin.y while the searchBar is active. It feels a little strange. I realized that the solution is as simple as setting, self.clipsToBounds = YES;
I used
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var searchBar: UISearchBar!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
searchBar.backgroundImage = UIImage() // Removes the line
And it worked like a charm :)
Warning. This is a hack. Would like to know a better, more official way.
You can use the pony debugger to figure out where in the subview hierarchy it is. I think the thing you are see is a private UIImageView called "separator"
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
for (UIView* view in self.searchBar.subviews) {
if (view.frame.size.height == 1 && [view isKindOfClass:[UIImageView class]]) {
view.alpha = 0;
break;
}
}
}
You can use
[[UISearchBar appearance] setSearchFieldBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"someImage.png"]forState:UIControlStateNormal];
on iOS 5+ to get rid of the line.
what worked with me is, setting the searchbar barTintColor as the navbar color
searchBar.barTintColor = UIColor.colorWithHexString(hexStr: "479F46")
after testing, it solves the problem in both iOS 10.x and 11.x

I need to draw a rounded rectangle bar in my iOS application, but without using a background image. Is there any way to make a rounded rectangle view or label?
In addition to the other answer(s), don't forget to set the masksToBounds property.
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
label.layer.cornerRadius = 5.0;
label.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
Alternative if you're using the UI designer (Storyboard or nib file) you can set a User Defined Runtime Attribute.
Click on the view you want to have rounded corners, click Show the Identity Inspector (3rd tab, top right).
Then click the + in User Defined Runtime Attributes and enter the following:
Key Path: layer.cornerRadius
Type: Number
Value: whatever number, e.g. 5
Add Quartz core Framework ..
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
Then Set corner radius,
yourView_LabelName.layer.cornerRadius = 10.0;
It may be useful for you.
Step1 :add the quartzcore framework to your project frameworks.
In which file you want to write this code there, you have to use this.
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
UILabel *myLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50, 100, 50, 30)];
myLabel.text = #"text";
myLabel.layer.cornerRadius =8.0;
[self.view addSubview:myLabel];
I would like to know how Apple built the about view. It looks like that text is inside UITableView element but the whole cell is scrollable.
My guess would be a UIWebView inside a custom table cell.
But that is just a guess. It could be a completely custom view, or various combinations of existing views.
No custom views are needed. All you have to do is configure the text view's layer appropriately. Here's a recipe that produces pretty much the effect you're looking for, assuming you have a UITextView in a view with light gray background:
// Implement viewDidLoad to do additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.textView.clipsToBounds = NO;
CALayer *layer = self.textView.layer;
layer.cornerRadius = 10.0;
layer.borderWidth = 0.5;
layer.borderColor = [[UIColor grayColor] CGColor];
layer.shadowColor = [[UIColor whiteColor] CGColor];
layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0.0, 1.0);
layer.shadowOpacity = 1.0;
layer.shadowRadius = 0.5;
}
I had some trouble getting the white shadow to display. This SO question explains that you need to set clipsToBounds to NO in order to get the shadow to work.
Here's a picture of the result. I've shown the bottom corner so that you can see the white drop shadow.
Edit: I see now that the view in the question probably is, in fact, a UIWebView. I think it's possible to embed inline images in a NSTextView, but that's probably not the case with UITextView. Anyway, the recipe above should work as well for a UIWebView as it does for UITextView (or any other view).
You can achieve this with a stock UITextView; it's a subclass of UIScrollView, so you can just add the logo imageview as a subview. Then, make room for the image on top by adjusting the text padding:
textView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(80,0,0,0);
If you have a tableview that has one section, one row, and the row has a view (UILabel or UITTextField) that is larger than the visible area on the screen, that would scroll like that. Or maybe just a UIScrollView with a UILabel in it.
What is the best way to get round corners on an entire UITableView as seen in Stocks and Spotlight? The grouped style doesn't solve the problem because the round corners scroll away with the cell. I'm trying to clip the view so the corners are always round regardless of scroll position.
I saw another discussion about doing this to a UIImage that suggested masking it with another image. I'm not sure if this would work because I need taps to pass through to the table. This isn't isn't ideal for me because I want the background pattern to show through through the corners.
It's an old question but perhaps you still want to know how to do this.
I reproduced a tableView like in Stocks/Spotlight. The trick is
view.layer.cornerRadius = 10;
For this to work you need to include the QuartzCore into the class that you call that property:
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
I heard that this only works since OS 3.0. But since my application is using core data it wasn't a problem because it was already for OS 3.0 and hight.
I created a custom UIView with a subview with cornerRadius 10 and with
view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
Then you have to place an UITableView grouped style in that subview. You need to set the backgroundColor to clearColor and the separatorColor to clearColor. Then you have to position the tableview inside the rounded corner view, this is done by setting the frame size and origin. My loadView class of my custom UIView looks like this:
self.view = [[UIView alloc] init];
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
CustomUIViewClass *scherm = [[CustomUIViewClass alloc] init];
CGRect frame;
frame.origin.x = 10;
frame.origin.y = 50;
frame.size.width = 300;
frame.size.height = 380;
scherm.frame = frame;
scherm.clipsToBounds = YES;
scherm.layer.cornerRadius = 10;
[self.view addSubview:scherm];
CustomUITableViewClass *table = [[CustomUITableViewClass alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
frame.origin.y = -10;
frame.origin.x = -10;
frame.size.width = 320;
frame.size.height = 400;
table.tableView.frame = frame;
[scherm addSubview:table.tableView];
I hope you understand my english, maybe I will write a short blog post about this technique with a sample project, will post the link here when I'm ready.
An easier way to do this is to simply import the QuartzCore framework to your project. #import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h> to your tableViewController and just set
myTableView.layer.cornerRadius=5;
This will give you rounded corners without having to add your tableview to a superView or clipping it.
Instead of hacking through the code, here's an easy to mimic the grouped style. This works if all you want is one section.
In Interface Builder:
Set UITableView style to Plain and make the frame with some padding on the left and right, perhaps with x = 10 and width = 300.
Then set the corner radius and color yourself:
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
self.tableView.layer.borderColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.6 alpha:1].CGColor;
self.tableView.layer.borderWidth = 1;
self.tableView.layer.cornerRadius = 4;
Have you tried the "grouped" table view style?
self.tableView.style = UITableViewStyleGrouped;
For further reference, see the Table View Programming Guide. The "About Table Views" chapter has some nice screenshots describing the different styles.
Well, there is alot of approach to solve this problem.
However, in my case, all doesn't work correctly. My table sometimes is smaller than table size.
I will share the way I did. I belive is alot easer and faster than some options above.
Make the first and last item rounded.
Create CAShapeLayer for top(left|right) and bottom(left|right).
shapeTop = [CAShapeLayer layer];
shapeTop.path = [UIBezierPath
bezierPathWithRoundedRect:CGRectMake( 0.0f, 0.0f, 306.0f, 58.0f )
byRoundingCorners:UIRectCornerTopLeft | UIRectCornerTopRight
cornerRadii:CGSizeMake( 6.0f, 6.0f )].CGPath;
shapeBottom = [CAShapeLayer layer];
shapeBottom.path = [UIBezierPath
bezierPathWithRoundedRect:CGRectMake( 0.0f, 0.0f, 306.0f, 58.0f )
byRoundingCorners:UIRectCornerBottomLeft | UIRectCornerBottomRight
cornerRadii:CGSizeMake( 6.0f, 6.0f )].CGPath;
The table need to be backgroud clearColor;
The cells has to be a colored background;
Set the layer.mask of it
UIView* backgroundView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
backgroundView.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
cell.backgroundView = backgroundView;
Don't forget #import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
I recently came across this problem and solved it a different way. Thought I'd share the results with everyone.
I created a rectangular UIView with a clear, rounded-corner interior, and then laid that on top of the UITableView. You can find the full description at my programming blog.
It works exactly the way I want.
Below code for Swift version :
let redColor = UIColor.redColor()
self.tableView.layer.borderColor = redColor.colorWithAlphaComponent(0.9).CGColor
self.tableView.layer.borderWidth = 1;
self.tableView.layer.cornerRadius = 4;
Make sure that you have import QuartzCore in import section.
Here is swift extension:
extension UITableView {
public var cornerRadius: CGFloat {
get {
return layer.cornerRadius
}
set {
layer.cornerRadius = newValue
layer.masksToBounds = true
}
}
}
Used by this way
tableView.cornerRadius = 7.5
UITableViewStyleInsetGrouped
A table view where the grouped sections are inset with rounded corners.
example code:
self.tableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero style:UITableViewStyleInsetGrouped];
looks like:
Settings looking table view sections
