iOS UITextField Underline Style in swift












-1















UI Interface Login example



I've added this image, I hope you can see it, of a user interface login. Notice the text field is transparent with the exception of the line at the bottom. What code do I put in to get that affect? Can I put the necessary information in the "user defined runtime attributes"?










share|improve this question

























  • Just use a image as the background, the image contains a line at the bottom, and the above is transparent. This kind of image will fit your demand.

Just create sub class of UITextField as below, And simply set this class in your storyboard to UItextField



Swift 4.2 Support With @IBInspectable



import UIKit

class HSUnderLineTextField: UITextField , UITextFieldDelegate {

let border = CALayer()

@IBInspectable open var lineColor : UIColor = UIColor.black {
didSet{
border.borderColor = lineColor.cgColor
}
}

@IBInspectable open var selectedLineColor : UIColor = UIColor.black {
didSet{
}
}


@IBInspectable open var lineHeight : CGFloat = CGFloat(1.0) {
didSet{
border.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: self.frame.size.height - lineHeight, width: self.frame.size.width, height: self.frame.size.height)
}
}

required init?(coder aDecoder: (NSCoder?)) {
super.init(coder: aDecoder!)
self.delegate=self;
border.borderColor = lineColor.cgColor
self.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string: self.placeholder ?? "",
attributes: [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.white])


border.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: self.frame.size.height - lineHeight, width: self.frame.size.width, height: self.frame.size.height)
border.borderWidth = lineHeight
self.layer.addSublayer(border)
self.layer.masksToBounds = true
}

override func draw(_ rect: CGRect) {
border.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: self.frame.size.height - lineHeight, width: self.frame.size.width, height: self.frame.size.height)
}

override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
border.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: self.frame.size.height - lineHeight, width: self.frame.size.width, height: self.frame.size.height)
self.delegate = self
}

func textFieldDidBeginEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
border.borderColor = selectedLineColor.cgColor
}

func textFieldDidEndEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
border.borderColor = lineColor.cgColor
}
}

  • If i have create class then no need to write any code, simply we can use in storyboard file And i have create extension then we need to write code in view-controller class where we use text field.

  • Name of this class is not UItextField but it is subclass of UItextField. You can give a any name of this class like UITextField_BottomBorder then set it in your storyboard file

  • That worked almost perfectly. Thanks so much! Though I do have one request on this and that is changing the color so something of a hex value or an RGB value. How can I change "border.borderColor = UIColor.darkGrayColor().CGColor" to be something with an RGB value or a hex value?
