Rounded Corners only on Top of a UIView

Question

Hi i am searching a clean solution without overwriting drawRect or stuff like that to create a UIView with Rounded corners on the Top of the

Answer 1

I worked this out with the help of Ashley.

First of all i subclassed a UIView. Creating a own constructor for my Class called - (id)initWithContentView:(UIView *)aView forTableView:(UITableView *)table andIndex:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;. In this constructor i determine what kind of table cell i am want to style.

Then i overwrite l - (void)layoutSubviews to create the CAShapeLayer and applying the layer mask.

.h File Code

typedef enum {
    tableCellMiddle,
    tableCellTop,
    tableCellBottom,
    tableCellSingle
} tableCellPositionValue;

@interface TableCellBackgrounds : UIView
{
    tableCellPositionValue position;
}

- (id)initWithContentView:(UIView *)aView forTableView:(UITableView *)table andIndex:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;

@end

.m File Code

- (id)initWithContentView:(UIView *)aView forTableView:(UITableView *)table andIndex:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    self = [super initWithFrame:aView.frame];

    [self setAutoresizingMask:UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth];

    if(self)
    {
        [self setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:(float)230/255 green:(float)80/255 blue:(float)70/255 alpha:1]];

        if(table.style == UITableViewStyleGrouped)
        {
            int rows = [table numberOfRowsInSection:indexPath.section];


            if(indexPath.row == 0 && rows == 1)
            {
                self.layer.cornerRadius = 11;
                position = tableCellSingle;
            }
            else if (indexPath.row == 0)
                position = tableCellTop;
            else if (indexPath.row != rows - 1) 
                position = tableCellMiddle;
            else 
                position = tableCellBottom;
        }
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)layoutSubviews
{
    [super layoutSubviews];

    if(position == tableCellTop)
    {
        CAShapeLayer *maskLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
        maskLayer.path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:self.bounds byRoundingCorners:UIRectCornerTopLeft|UIRectCornerTopRight cornerRadii:(CGSize){10.0, 10.0}].CGPath;
        self.layer.mask = maskLayer;
    }
    else if (position == tableCellBottom)
    {
        CAShapeLayer *maskLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
        maskLayer.path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:self.bounds byRoundingCorners:UIRectCornerBottomLeft|UIRectCornerBottomRight cornerRadii:(CGSize){10.0, 10.0}].CGPath;
        self.layer.mask = maskLayer;
    } 
}
