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

None of these solutions really met my expectations. I wanted to subclass the TextField since I don't want to set the border manually all the time. I also wanted to change the border color e.g. for an error. So here's my solution with Anchors:

class CustomTextField: UITextField {

    var bottomBorder = UIView()

    override func awakeFromNib() {

            // Setup Bottom-Border

            self.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false

            bottomBorder = UIView.init(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 0, height: 0))
            bottomBorder.backgroundColor = UIColor(rgb: 0xE2DCD1) // Set Border-Color
            bottomBorder.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false

            addSubview(bottomBorder)

            bottomBorder.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: bottomAnchor).isActive = true
            bottomBorder.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: leftAnchor).isActive = true
            bottomBorder.rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: rightAnchor).isActive = true
            bottomBorder.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 1).isActive = true // Set Border-Strength

    }
}

---- Optional ----

To change the color add sth like this to the CustomTextField Class:

@IBInspectable var hasError: Bool = false {
    didSet {

        if (hasError) {

            bottomBorder.backgroundColor = UIColor.red

        } else {

            bottomBorder.backgroundColor = UIColor(rgb: 0xE2DCD1)

        }

    }
}

And to trigger the Error call this after you created an instance of CustomTextField

textField.hasError = !textField.hasError

Hope it helps someone ;)
