Rounded corners of UILabel swift

Question

I am creating a UILabel programatically. But the below piece of code doesn't give me rounded corners. I think I am missing out something very basic.

var textLabel:UILabel? =  UILabel()
textLabel?.text = text
textLabel?.frame = CGRect(x:point.x, y:point.y, width:(textLabel?.intrinsicContentSize.width)!, height:15)
textLabel?.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
textLabel?.font = UIFont(name:"OpenSans", size:8)
textLabel?.sizeToFit()
textLabel?.layer.cornerRadius = 20.0

Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

Answer 1

I think you should set maskToBounds for textLabel. try this:

textLabel?.layer.masksToBounds = true

Answer 2

swift 4.2

set label corner radius. Try this.....

labelVerified.layer.cornerRadius = 6
labelVerified.layer.masksToBounds = true

Compendious

Answer 3

try this :-

textLabel?.layer.cornerRadius = textLabel?.frame.size.height/2.0

textLabel?.layer.masksToBounds = true

if you want to set border color then :-

  textLabel?.layer.borderColor = .red.cgColor
  textLabel?.layer.borderWidth = 1.0

the questioner already mentioned the size layer.cornerRadius = 20.0 – Cowpuncher

it is for when you want to accurate corners then use this. if size if greater then height then it will not resize in perfect shape. or you can use constant value as you needed. – Hendrika

Answer 4

set masksToBounds for your label

masksToBounds act as a Boolean indicating whether sublayers are clipped to the layer’s bounds.

textLabel?.layer.cornerRadius = 20.0
textLabel?.layer.masksToBounds = true

refer apple documents.

Answer 5

try this :

yourLabel.layer.cornerRadius = 8.0
yourLabel.layer.masksToBounds = true
yourLabel.layer.borderColor = UIColor.white.cgColor
yourLabel.layer.borderWidth = 1.0

this should give you the rounded borders

The key is the property "maskToBounds" that is a Boolean indicating whether sublayers are clipped to the layer’s bounds.
