ios - UITextField border color

Question

I have really great wish to set my own color to UITextField border. But so far I could find out how to change the border line style only.

I've used background property to set background color in such way:

self.textField.backgroundColor = textFieldColor;

But I have to change color of UITextField border too. And my question was about how to change the border color.

Answer 1

Import QuartzCore framework in you class:

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>

and for changing the border color use the following code snippet (I'm setting it to redColor),

    textField.layer.cornerRadius=8.0f;
    textField.layer.masksToBounds=YES;
    textField.layer.borderColor=[[UIColor redColor]CGColor];
    textField.layer.borderWidth= 1.0f;

For reverting back to the original layout just set border color to clear color,

    serverField.layer.borderColor=[[UIColor clearColor]CGColor];

in swift code

    textField.layer.borderWidth = 1
    textField.layer.borderColor = UIColor.whiteColor().CGColor
