Round only 2 corners of a UIView in custom UITableViewCell - iOS

Question

I have a UIView in a custom UITableViewCell and I want to round just bottom Left and Right corners of that view. I'm doing the following, but it's not working:

- (void)awakeFromNib {
    // Initialization code

    CAShapeLayer * maskLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
    maskLayer.path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect: _viewForTags.bounds byRoundingCorners: UIRectCornerBottomLeft | UIRectCornerBottomRight cornerRadii: (CGSize){7.0, 7.0}].CGPath;

    _viewForTags.layer.mask = maskLayer;
}

I usually achieve this in usual View Controllers in the viewWillLayoutSubviews method and it works perfectly, but there's no such method when I subclass UITableViewCell.

Any idea how can I round 2 corners of a view in a subclassed UITableViewCell?

Answer 1

actually there is a method for that state in UITableViewCell. it is layoutSubviews

-(void)layoutSubviews
{
    CAShapeLayer * maskLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
    maskLayer.path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect: _im.bounds byRoundingCorners: UIRectCornerBottomLeft | UIRectCornerBottomRight cornerRadii: (CGSize){7.0, 7.0}].CGPath;

    _im.layer.mask = maskLayer;
}

UITableViewDelgate's

tableView:willDisplayCell:forRowAtIndexPath:

method will be called overtime when cell is about to be displayed on the screen. You can have your code in this method.
