iOS add / remove shadow from a view

Question

I do not understand how to remove a shadow that was added to a view. I add to my view in initWithFrame a shadow in this way:

self.layer.borderWidth          


        

Answer 1

I guess you could use the shadowOpacity property of your CALayer.

So this should work:

self.layer.shadowOpacity = 0;

See the CALayer's shadowOpacity documentation page

And to show your shadow use:

self.layer.shadowOpacity = 1.0;
