Problem in -[CALayer setBorderColor:]

Question

I want to have border around my textview; for that, I did the following:

textView.layer.borderWidth = 5.0f;
textView.layer.borderColor = [UIColor grayColor];   

I am getting the following warning:

warning: passing argument 1 of 'setBorderColor:' from incompatible pointer type

Update1 : my border is not visible

Answer 1

Your problem is that -[CALayer setBorderColor:] takes an object of type CGColorRef. What you need to do is convert your color object to conform:

textView.layer.borderColor = [UIColor grayColor].CGColor;

I hope that helped!
