Rounded corners to UILabel in NSMutableAttributedString

Question

I have a variable text that has a background color and rounded corners. So I'm using UILabel with NSMutableAttributedString.

    myAttributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string:"hello")
    myAttributedString.addAttribute(NSBackgroundColorAttributeName, value: UIColor.red, range: NSRange(location: 0, length: myAttributedString.length))
    myLabel.attributedText = myAttributedString
    myLabel.layer.cornerRadius = 5
    myLabel.clipsToBounds = true
    myLabel.layer.masksToBounds = true

Im getting a label with rounded corners only on one side. What should I do to get rounded corners on all sides ?

@karthikeyan I have alreasy added cornerRadius and masktoBounds, tried adding sizeToFit too...but I am getting thesame result, — Sneha, Mar 23 '17 at 12:39
problem is some where else , are you using uibeizerpath for your label — Anbu.Karthik, Mar 23 '17 at 12:40
@karthikeyan that works...but i have variable text and background, thats why im using attributed string — Sneha, Mar 23 '17 at 12:43
are you seen this `UIColor.red` ,but it is not affect in anywhere — Anbu.Karthik, Mar 23 '17 at 12:43
@Anbu.Karthik This label is in a tableviewcell and i have given constraints from top bottom and leading and trailing. Didnt use bezier path at all — Sneha, Mar 23 '17 at 12:44
@Sneha - most likely, your constraints are incorrect and the label is extending past the right side of the content view. Try explicitly making your label narrow, so you will see additional empty space at the side of your cell, and see what happens. — DonMag, Mar 23 '17 at 12:48
replace all code into layoutsubviews,in cell file and check once — karthikeyan, Mar 23 '17 at 12:54

just increase the width of UILabel (myLabel)

let myAttributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string:"hello")
        myAttributedString.addAttribute(NSBackgroundColorAttributeName, value: UIColor.red, range: NSRange(location: 0, length: myAttributedString.length))
        myLabel.attributedText = myAttributedString
        myLabel.layer.cornerRadius = 5
        myLabel.clipsToBounds = true
        myLabel.layer.masksToBounds = true

// your code is right
// just increase the width of UILabel (myLabel)
