Custom shaped (inverted T) bordered Uiview in iOS

customization, ios, iphone, objective-c, uiview

Solution

Phew.. Finally I have done it. I have used two UiViews subclasses (top & bottom).

The main challenge I faced was about the border, because if I set the border to my two views (top & bottom), it will not show as a single container item. :)

Steps that I done:

Created two UiView subclasses. Lets call topView and bottomView.

    TopView *topView = [[TopView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(220, 60, 200, 200)];
    [topView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor yellowColor]]; 
    [self.view addSubview:topView]; 

    BottomView *bottomView = [[BottomView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(130, 260, 380, 200)];
    [bottomView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor yellowColor]];
    bottomView.customShape = topView; //Set the custom shape as TopView to frame to draw the border.    
    [self.view addSubview:topView];

I have drawn three borders (top,right,left) for TopView and two full borders (bottom, right), two partial borders (top left, top right) for BottomView through overriding the drawRect method.

See my TopView class here.

Thanks to all.

Problem

I have to create a custom shaped (inverted T) bordered Uiview on iOS. I am attaching the screenshot below. I have researched a lot and I found a way using UIBezierPath from here. But I didn't get any idea to shape my view as inverted T shaped.
