I'm been trying to create a shadow for my UIView. I looked around and found an extension for the CALayer class from this post. https://stackoverflow.com/a/48489506/9188318
So far its been working well for me until I try to put in a non 0 number for the spread.
With the spread being 0. This is the result
And here is the result using a spread of 1
And it gets even worse with a spread of 5
The problem that I'm having is that it doesn't have rounded corners and I have no idea how to fix this. Heres my code for the UIView that uses this view. The extension that is used to make the shadow is in the post above.
UIView code
class FileCalculateOperatorSelectionButton : UIView {
private var isActivated : Bool = false
//Background colors
private var unSelectedBackgroundColor : UIColor = UIColor(red: 178/255, green: 90/255, blue: 253/255, alpha: 1.0)
private var selectedBackgroundColor : UIColor = UIColor.white
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
self.commonInit()
}
required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: coder)
self.commonInit()
}
private func commonInit() {
self.layer.cornerRadius = self.frame.height/2
self.backgroundColor = self.unSelectedBackgroundColor
let shadowColor = UIColor(red: 0xC8, green: 0xC6, blue: 0xC6)
//Change the spread argument here
self.layer.applySketchShadow(color: .black, alpha: 0.5, x: 0, y: 0, blur: 5, spread: 0)
}
}
Change shadowPath
in applySketchShadow
function in CALayer
extension like below;
// shadowPath = UIBezierPath(rect: rect).cgPath
shadowPath = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: rect, cornerRadius: cornerRadius).cgPath
when spread: 1
