Add bottom line to view in SwiftUI / Swift / Objective-C / Xamarin

Question

I would like to keep the border at the bottom part only in UITextField. But I don\'t know how we can keep it on the bottom side.

Can you please advise m

Answer 1

You can create this extension outside class and replace width with whatever borderWidth you want.

Swift 4

extension UITextField
{
    func setBottomBorder(withColor color: UIColor)
    {
        self.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyle.none
        self.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
        let width: CGFloat = 1.0

        let borderLine = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: self.frame.height - width, width: self.frame.width, height: width))
        borderLine.backgroundColor = color
        self.addSubview(borderLine)
    }
}

Original

extension UITextField
{
    func setBottomBorder(borderColor: UIColor)
    {
        self.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyle.None
        self.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
        let width = 1.0

        let borderLine = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(0, self.frame.height - width, self.frame.width, width))
        borderLine.backgroundColor = borderColor
        self.addSubview(borderLine)
    }
}

and then add this to your viewDidLoad replacing yourTextField with your UITextField variable and with any color you want in the border

yourTextField.setBottomBorder(UIColor.blackColor())

This basically adds a view with that color at the bottom of the text field.

On Swift 3. You can create an extension and add after your view class.

extension UITextField
{
    func setBottomBorder(borderColor: UIColor)
    {

        self.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyle.none
        self.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
        let width = 1.0

        let borderLine = UIView()
        borderLine.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: Double(self.frame.height) - width, width: Double(self.frame.width), height: width)

        borderLine.backgroundColor = borderColor
        self.addSubview(borderLine)
    }
}

Answer 3

import UIkit 

extension UITextField

{

func underlinedLogin()

{

    let border = CALayer()

    let width = CGFloat(1.0)

    border.borderColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
    border.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: self.frame.size.height - width, width:  self.frame.size.width, height: self.frame.size.height)
    border.borderWidth = width
    self.layer.addSublayer(border)
    self.layer.masksToBounds = true
}

}

call method on viewdidload

mobileNumberTextField.underlinedLogin()

passwordTextField.underlinedLogin()

//select like text field on mainstoryboard

I have looked at each of these solutions that also seem to work with one issue. Dark Mode and the background setting

The Background setting of the UITextField must match the background of the parent view or no line appears

So this will work on light mode To get to work in dark mode change the background color to black and it works Exclude back color and the line does not appear

let field = UITextField() 
field.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
field.bottomBorderColor = UIColor.red

This ended up being the best solution for me

extension UITextField {

    func addPadding() {
        let paddingView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x:0, y:0, width: 10, height: self.frame.height))
        self.leftView = paddingView
        self.leftViewMode = .always
      }

      @IBInspectable var placeHolderColor: UIColor? {
          get {
              return self.placeHolderColor
          }
          set {
            self.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string:self.placeholder != nil ? self.placeholder! : "", attributes:[NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: newValue!])
          }
      }

      @IBInspectable var bottomBorderColor: UIColor? {
          get {
              return self.bottomBorderColor
          }
          set {
            self.borderStyle = .none
            self.layer.masksToBounds = false
            self.layer.shadowColor = newValue?.cgColor
            self.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 0.0, height: 1.0)
            self.layer.shadowOpacity = 1.0
            self.layer.shadowRadius = 0.0
          }
      }
    }

Here is swift3 code with @IBInspectable

create a new file Cocoa Touch Class Swift File

import UIKit


extension UIView {

@IBInspectable var cornerRadius: CGFloat {
    get {
        return layer.cornerRadius
    }
    set {
        layer.cornerRadius = newValue
        layer.masksToBounds = newValue > 0
    }
}

@IBInspectable var borderWidth: CGFloat {
    get {
        return layer.borderWidth
    }
    set {
        layer.borderWidth = newValue
    }
}

@IBInspectable var borderColor: UIColor? {
    get {
        return UIColor(cgColor: layer.borderColor!)
    }
    set {
        layer.borderColor = newValue?.cgColor
    }
}

@IBInspectable var leftBorderWidth: CGFloat {
    get {
        return 0.0   // Just to satisfy property
    }
    set {
        let line = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width: newValue, height: bounds.height))
        line.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        line.backgroundColor = UIColor(cgColor: layer.borderColor!)
       line.tag = 110
        self.addSubview(line)

        let views = ["line": line]
        let metrics = ["lineWidth": newValue]
        addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(withVisualFormat: "|[line(==lineWidth)]", options: [], metrics: metrics, views: views))
        addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(withVisualFormat: "V:|[line]|", options: [], metrics: nil, views: views))
    }
}

@IBInspectable var topBorderWidth: CGFloat {
    get {
        return 0.0   // Just to satisfy property
    }
    set {
        let line = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width: bounds.width, height: newValue))
        line.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        line.backgroundColor = borderColor
       line.tag = 110
        self.addSubview(line)

        let views = ["line": line]
        let metrics = ["lineWidth": newValue]
        addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(withVisualFormat: "|[line]|", options: [], metrics: nil, views: views))
        addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(withVisualFormat: "V:|[line(==lineWidth)]", options: [], metrics: metrics, views: views))
    }
}

@IBInspectable var rightBorderWidth: CGFloat {
    get {
        return 0.0   // Just to satisfy property
    }
    set {
        let line = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: bounds.width, y: 0.0, width: newValue, height: bounds.height))
        line.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        line.backgroundColor = borderColor
       line.tag = 110
        self.addSubview(line)

        let views = ["line": line]
        let metrics = ["lineWidth": newValue]
        addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(withVisualFormat: "[line(==lineWidth)]|", options: [], metrics: metrics, views: views))
        addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(withVisualFormat: "V:|[line]|", options: [], metrics: nil, views: views))
    }
}
@IBInspectable var bottomBorderWidth: CGFloat {
    get {
        return 0.0   // Just to satisfy property
    }
    set {
        let line = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0.0, y: bounds.height, width: bounds.width, height: newValue))
        line.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        line.backgroundColor = borderColor
      line.tag = 110
        self.addSubview(line)

        let views = ["line": line]
        let metrics = ["lineWidth": newValue]
        addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(withVisualFormat: "|[line]|", options: [], metrics: nil, views: views))
        addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(withVisualFormat: "V:[line(==lineWidth)]|", options: [], metrics: metrics, views: views))
    }
}
 func removeborder() {
      for view in self.subviews {
           if view.tag == 110  {
                view.removeFromSuperview()
           }

      }
 }

}

and replace the file with the below code and you will get the option in storyboard attribute inspector like this

Enjoy :)

Answer 6

you can create one image for bottom border and set it to the background of your UITextField :

 yourTextField.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"yourBorderedImageName"]];

or set borderStyle to none and put image of line exactly equal length to textfield!
