I have an icon that I programmatically display.
How can I display a solid, colored disk behind the icon, at the same screen position?
Icon is opaque.
I will sometimes programmatically change screen position and disk's diameter and color.
Here's how I programmatically display the icon now.............
DispatchQueue.main.async
{
ViewController.wrist_band_UIImageView.frame = CGRect( x: screen_position_x,
y: screen_position_y,
width: App_class.screen_width,
height: App_class.screen_height)
}
UPDATE #2 for D.Mika below...
import UIKit
import Foundation
class ViewController: UIViewController
{
static var circleView: UIView!
static let wrist_band_UIImageView: UIImageView = {
let theImageView = UIImageView()
theImageView.image = UIImage( systemName: "applewatch" )
theImageView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
return theImageView
}()
override func viewDidLoad()
{
super.viewDidLoad()
view.addSubview( ViewController.wrist_band_UIImageView )
// Init disk image:
ViewController.circleView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width: 100.0, height: 100.0))
ViewController.circleView.backgroundColor = .red
ViewController.circleView.layer.cornerRadius = view.bounds.size.height / 2.0
ViewController.circleView.clipsToBounds = true
// Add view to view hierarchy below image view
ViewController.circleView.insertSubview(view, belowSubview: ViewController.wrist_band_UIImageView)
App_class.display_single_wearable()
}
}
class App_class
{
static var is_communication_established = false
static var total_packets = 0
static func display_single_wearable()
{
ViewController.wrist_band_UIImageView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0,
width: 100, height: 100)
ViewController.circleView.frame = CGRect( x: 0,
y: 0,
width: 100,
height: 100)
ViewController.circleView.layer.cornerRadius = 100
}
static func process_location_xy(text_location_xyz: String)
{}
} // App_class
The following answer works.
The answers from d.mika above did not work. Plus, he was insulting. ;-)
// Show red circle
let circlePath = UIBezierPath(arcCenter: CGPoint(x: 200, y: 400), radius: CGFloat(40), startAngle: CGFloat(0), endAngle: CGFloat(Double.pi * 2), clockwise: true)
let shapeLayer = CAShapeLayer()
shapeLayer.path = circlePath.cgPath
// Change the fill color
shapeLayer.fillColor = UIColor.red.cgColor
// You can change the stroke color
shapeLayer.strokeColor = UIColor.red.cgColor
// You can change the line width
shapeLayer.lineWidth = 3.0
view.layer.addSublayer(shapeLayer)
