Drawing Rectangles in iOS

Question

My goal for my app is for the user to be able to sort through different scheduling options by swiping to the left and right of an iPhone screen. How would I draw and remove rectangles as the user sorts through these different scheduling options?

I have a UIViewController.h, UIViewController.m, and UIViewController.xib files to manipulate. Do I need a separate UIView class? If so, how do I connect that UIView class to the view in my .xib file?

Answer 1

You can draw a rectangle by using this:

 UIBezierPath* rectanglePath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRect: CGRectMake(68, 38, 81, 40)];
 [UIColor.grayColor setFill];
 [rectanglePath fill];

Answer 2

Wow... so many complicated solution, here is what you need:

UIView *myBox  = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(180, 35, 10, 10)];
myBox.backgroundColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
[self.view addSubview:myBox];

Nothing else... don't need to go crazy on the implementation.
