Manually drawing a gradient in iPhone apps?

Question

If I have two UIColors, what\'s the best way to draw an even gradient between them over an arbitrarily-sized area?

I am guessing you would create a UIView subclass a

Answer 1

#import     
- (void) setGradient {
    CAGradientLayer *gradient = [CAGradientLayer layer];
    gradient.frame = self.view.bounds;
    gradient.colors = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:(id)[[UIColor whiteColor] CGColor], (id)[[UIColor blackColor] CGColor], nil];
    [self.view.layer insertSublayer:gradient atIndex:0];     
}

Don't forget to add QuartzCore library to your project.
