Question

I need to add Round corners to a UIImageView. I found a solution from a forum, and i tried the following code;

UIImageView * roundedView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage: [UIImage imageNamed:@"wood.jpg"]];
// Get the Layer of any view
CALayer * l = [roundedView layer];
[l setMasksToBounds:YES];
[l setCornerRadius:10.0];

I am using iOS 5, and setMasksToBounds:YES and setCornerRadius are not found.

So is there any other way i could get round corners in my UIImageview ?

Answer 1

To make rounded corners on a UIView (or its subclass UIImageView), you need, like you wrote in your question, to set the cornerRadius on your layer. For example:

theRoundedCornersView.layer.cornerRadius = 10.0f;

Import the right header and it will compile:

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>

Don’t forget to link against it by adding it to your frameworks.
