How to make round shape of any view [closed]

Answer 1

You can make rounded border with width of border of any control in this way:-

CALayer * l1 = [viewPopup layer];
[l1 setMasksToBounds:YES];
[l1 setCornerRadius:5.0];

// You can even add a border
[l1 setBorderWidth:5.0];
[l1 setBorderColor:[[UIColor darkGrayColor] CGColor]];

Just replace viewPopup with your control.

Note:- Don't forget to import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>

Answer 2

A UIView is always rectangular. However, you can make it look round (or any shape at all, actually) with a mask. To do so, make a UIImage which is a black circle (in a transparent background). Now take the CGImage of that UIImage and make it the contents of a CALayer. Finally, set that CALayer as the mask of the layer of your view.

Let us suppose that your view is 100 x 100. Then (not tested, but should be pretty much right):

UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(CGSizeMake(100,100), NO, 0);
CGContextRef c = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(c, [UIColor blackColor].CGColor);
CGContextFillEllipseInRect(c, CGRectMake(0,0,100,100));
UIImage* maskim = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

CALayer* mask = [CALayer new];
mask.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,100,100);
mask.contents = (id)maskim.CGImage;

view.layer.mask = mask;

Try this code :-

[roundView.layer setCornerRadius:50.0f];
[roundView.layer setBorderColor:[UIColor lightGrayColor].CGColor];
[roundView.layer setBorderWidth:1.5f];
[roundView.layer setShadowColor:[UIColor blackColor].CGColor];
[roundView.layer setShadowOpacity:0.8];
[roundView.layer setShadowRadius:3.0];
[roundView.layer setShadowOffset:CGSizeMake(2.0, 2.0)];

Note:- roundView is your view that you want to round.

I hope it helps you. Thanks
