The Swift way to add Gradient is :

    var view : UIView = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 100))
    var g : CAGradientLayer = CAGradientLayer()
    g.frame = gradientView.bounds
    g.colors = ["000000".UIColor.CGColor , "111111".UIColor.CGColor]
    view.layer.insertSublayer(g, atIndex: 0)

UIColor() is a helper class for Swift to convert hex color to rgb color, highly recommended.
