Cocoa Touch: How To Change UIView's Border Color And Thickness?

Question

I saw in the inspector that I can change the background color, but I\'d like to also change the border color and thickness, is this possible?

Answer 1

If you didn't want to edit the layer of a UIView, you could always embed the view within another view. The parent view would have its background color set to the border color. It would also be slightly larger, depending upon how wide you want the border to be.

Of course, this only works if your view isn't transparent and you only want a single border color. The OP wanted the border in the view itself, but this may be a viable alternative.
