Question

I\'m trying to create a button with rounded corners and a drop shadow. No matter how I switch up, the button will not display correctly. I\

Answer 1

An alternative way to get more usable and consistent button.

Swift 2:

func getImageWithColor(color: UIColor, size: CGSize, cornerRadius:CGFloat) -> UIImage {
    let rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, size.width, size.height)
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, 1)
    UIBezierPath(
        roundedRect: rect,
        cornerRadius: cornerRadius
        ).addClip()
    color.setFill()
    UIRectFill(rect)
    let image: UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
    return image
}

let button = UIButton(type: .Custom)
button.frame = CGRectMake(20, 20, 200, 50)
button.setTitle("My Button", forState: UIControlState.Normal)
button.setTitleColor(UIColor.blackColor(), forState: UIControlState.Normal)
self.addSubview(button)

let image = getImageWithColor(UIColor.whiteColor(), size: button.frame.size, cornerRadius: 5)
button.setBackgroundImage(image, forState: UIControlState.Normal)

button.layer.shadowRadius = 5
button.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.blackColor().CGColor
button.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.5
button.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 1)
button.layer.masksToBounds = false

Swift 3:

func getImageWithColor(_ color: UIColor, size: CGSize, cornerRadius:CGFloat) -> UIImage? {
    let rect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: size.width, height: size.height)
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, 0)
    color.setFill()
    UIBezierPath(roundedRect: rect, cornerRadius: cornerRadius).addClip()
    color.setFill()
    UIRectFill(rect)
    let image: UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()!
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
    return image
}

let button = UIButton(type: .custom)
button.frame = CGRect(x:20, y:20, width:200, height:50)
button.setTitle("My Button", for: .normal)
button.setTitleColor(UIColor.black, for: .normal)
self.addSubview(button)

if let image = getImageWithColor(UIColor.white, size: button.frame.size, cornerRadius: 5) {
    button.setBackgroundImage(image, for: .normal)
}

button.layer.shadowRadius = 5
button.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
button.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.5
button.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width:0, height:1)
button.layer.masksToBounds = false
