Removing shadow from subviews

Asked 25/9, 2013 at 20:7 Answered 23/5, 2017 at 13:31

I have a UIView mainView, I've added 4 buttons in each corners as subviews. I added shadow to my mainView like this

mainView.layer.shadowColor = [[UIColor blackColor] CGColor];
mainView.view.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0,6);
mainView.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.3;

My problem is that subviews show shadows (the buttons) too. How to hide subviews shadows. Thanks in advance.

This is peculiar. Have you tried to 'set' shadows on the subviews manually? – Deviltry 25/9, 2013 at 20:10

what is mainview? How did you get view property for UIVIEw ?@Uncommunicative – Ironing 30/9, 2015 at 12:29

You can look for alternate solution. Something like this: #12359351 – Phip 3/11, 2015 at 14:33

I have also fetch the same problem and found the solution of this issue.

just set the background color for super view (Replace super view's background clear to any other color.)

EX: In above Questions

mainView.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
