Why gradient doesn't cover the whole width of the view

Question

I\'m trying to apply a gradient to a view which is constraint to the top, left and right of the main screen but for some reason the gradient doesn\'t cover the whole width o

Answer 1

You needn't set the start and end point, given your goal is to have the gradient span the entire view. You're already setting that with `

gradientLayer.frame = self.view.bounds

`

import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var myView: UIView!
    var gradientLayer: CAGradientLayer!
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
    }

    override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillAppear(animated)
        createGradientLayer()
    }

    func createGradientLayer() {
        gradientLayer = CAGradientLayer()

        gradientLayer.frame = self.view.bounds

        gradientLayer.colors = [UIColor.blueColor().CGColor, UIColor.whiteColor().CGColor]

        self.view.layer.addSublayer(gradientLayer)
    }
}
