How to add a 1 pixel gray border around a UISearchBar TextField

Question

I\'m trying to figure out how to add a 1 pixel stroke gray border to my UISearchBar in my app. The Facebook Messenger app accomplishes this quite well. (see pic below).

Answer 1

try this

self.poundsTxt.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor whiteColor]CGColor];
self.poundsTxt.layer.borderWidth=2.0;

import Quartz Core Framework Reference into your project and add import to your ViewController.m to work borderColor and borderWidth.
