UINavigationBar Rounded Two Corners

Question

I want to round the top right and top left of the UINavigationBar.

I know that there are functions for changing the views corner radius, but is it possible to do something similar to the standard UINavigationBar?

Answer 1

the following code works for me (tested on iOS5). The following code rounds the top left/right corners of the main navigation bar. Additionally, it adds a shadow to it:

CALayer *capa = [self.navigationController navigationBar].layer;
[capa setShadowColor: [[UIColor blackColor] CGColor]];
[capa setShadowOpacity:0.85f];
[capa setShadowOffset: CGSizeMake(0.0f, 1.5f)];
[capa setShadowRadius:2.0f];  
[capa setShouldRasterize:YES];


//Round
CGRect bounds = capa.bounds;
bounds.size.height += 10.0f;    //I'm reserving enough room for the shadow
UIBezierPath *maskPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:bounds 
                                               byRoundingCorners:(UIRectCornerTopLeft | UIRectCornerTopRight)
                                                     cornerRadii:CGSizeMake(10.0, 10.0)];

CAShapeLayer *maskLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
maskLayer.frame = bounds;
maskLayer.path = maskPath.CGPath;

[capa addSublayer:maskLayer];
capa.mask = maskLayer;

The best way is to override drawRect in UINavigationBar and use a custom image.
