Setting multiple borders on UIView

Question

As I cannot find any questions/answers for this, I imagine it is not possible.

Is there anyway to set multiple borders on a UIView.

I am currently setting a standard border with .layer.borderWidth and layer.borderColor. I am wondering if I can add a multiple strokes/borders effect to the view.

I need a border of 4.0f in white then another 1.0f in another color.

Three solutions I can think of:

• nest a UIView in another one, define one border for each;
• draw the border yourself in -(void)drawRect;
• use an UIImageView with a resizable; stretchable image of your borders as background (the best solution performance-wise).
