UITextView with rounded corners

Question

in many iPhone apps I could see UITextView with rounded corners. Is there a simple way to achieve this? or do I need to create a custom UITextView? any links to examples showing how to achieve this?

Thanks!

If you are using iOS 3+, you can do the following:

myTextView.clipsToBounds = YES;
myTextView.layer.cornerRadius = 10.0f;

Just let other Xamarin users know, you can use this code, and don't need to worry about QuartzCore. (fyi, I'm on Xamarin iOS 8.10.3.2, targetting iOS 8.4) – terry Jul 16 '15 at 06:40

Add QuartzCore framework to the app and then

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>


UITextView* txtView = [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50, 50, 300, 100)];
txtView.layer.cornerRadius = 5.0;
txtView.clipsToBounds = YES;

Just a quick reminder: you can do it easily from the the stroyboard/xib:

Or create an extension, and set it programmatically or through the storyboard

extension UIView {
    @IBInspectable var cornerRadius: CGFloat {
        set {
            layer.cornerRadius = newValue
            layer.masksToBounds = newValue > 0
        }
        get {
            return layer.cornerRadius
        }
    }
}

IMO Its the modern answer to an old problem. As there was no swift answer already here, i simply provided it. I belive more people will come here looking for the swift answer than the obj-c answer as this tops google search if you search for `UITextView rounded corner swift` – Sentry.co Jul 25 '18 at 18:46

The easiest way I have found is to put the Rounded Rect button with no text under the UITextView, take the UITextView smaller than button.

Done.

You may want to check out my library called DCKit. It's written on the latest version of Swift.

You'd be able to make a rounded corner text view/button/text field from the Interface builder directly:

DCKit: rounded button

It also has many other cool features, such as text fields with validation, controls with borders, dashed borders, circle and hairline views etc.
