Setting Corner Radius on UIImageView not working

Question

I'm at a bit of a loss. I've used the layer property of UIView to round the corners of multiple elements in my app. However, this one UIImageView is simply not complying. Not sure what I am missing.

The UIImageView (called previewImage) is contained in a Table View Cell. I've tried setting the cornerRadius property multiple location (in the cell itself and in the controller that creates the cell) to no avail.

static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"MyTableViewCell";

MyTableViewCell *cell = (MyTableViewCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
    NSArray *topLevelObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:CellIdentifier owner:self options:nil];
    cell = [topLevelObjects objectAtIndex:0];
    cell.previewImage.layer.cornerRadius = 20; //Made it 20 to make sure it's obvious.
}

Is there something about the way cells are loaded that I'm missing?

Answer 1

You need to set the layer's masksToBounds property to YES:

cell.previewImage.layer.masksToBounds = YES;

This is because the UIImageView control creates a pseudo-subview to hold the UIImage object.

Answer 2

Also worth noting that

1. If you are using aspectFit AND cornerRadius with clipsToBounds/masksToBounds, you won't get the rounded corners.

i.e if you have this

theImageView.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit

and

   theImageView.layer.cornerRadius = (theImageView.frame.size.height)/2
    theImageView.clipsToBounds = true

or

theImageView.layer.masksToBounds = true

It won't work. you will have to get rid of aspectFit code

//theImageView.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit

2. Make sure the width and the height for the Image View is same

Answer 3

This should work

cell.previewImage.clipsToBounds = YES;

cell.previewImage.layer.cornerRadius = 20;

Answer 4

I believe you need to set:

cell.previewImage.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
cell.previewImage.layer.opaque = NO;

Answer 5

In Xcode Interface Builder, selecting 'Clip Subviews' Drawing attribute for the view together with setting the corner radius in the code cell.previewImage.layer.cornerRadius = 20;does the job for me!

See 'Clip Subviews' option in IB

Answer 6

Try this below piece of code

cell.previewImage.layer.cornerRadius = 20;
cell.previewImage.clipsToBounds = YES;

Answer 7

Try this code:-

self.imgaviewName.clipsToBounds = true
self.imageviewName.layer.cornerRadius = 10

Answer 8

For imageView.contentMode = .scaleAspectFill the cornerRadius is not applied if the image is very large, depending on the hardware.

Some tests with resized panorama images:

• iPhone X, image size 5000x1107: 🚫 4000x886: ✅
• iPhone 6s Plus, image size 10000x2215: 🚫 5000x1107: ✅
• iPhone 6s, image size 10000x2215: 🚫 5000x1107: ✅

The imageView dimensions where 160x100. Interestingly, the newer hardware isn't necessarily more capable.

-(void) viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated{
       [super viewDidAppear:animated];
       [self setMaskTo:viewDistance 
             byRoundingCorners:UIRectCornerBottomLeft | UIRectCornerBottomRight];
           }

- (void)setMaskTo:(UIView*)view byRoundingCorners:(UIRectCorner)corners
     {
      UIBezierPath *rounded = [UIBezierPath 
                bezierPathWithRoundedRect:view.bounds
                                              byRoundingCorners:corners

                     cornerRadii:CGSizeMake(20.0, 20.0)];

          CAShapeLayer *shape = [[CAShapeLayer alloc] init];
          shape.frame = self.view.bounds;
         [shape setPath:rounded.CGPath];
          view.layer.mask = shape;
       }

Swift 4.2 Answer:

In order for the corner radius to work, add the image to a UIView and then you need to set the image's masksToBounds property to true:

planeImage.layer.masksToBounds = true
planeImage.layer.cornerRadius = 20

Note: Replace 20 by the desired cornerRadius

Answer 11

Nothing from the previous answers is working?

It may happen that the size of the UIImageView is bigger than the image size. Corner radius can be set well but not visible in that case.

Quick check of the UIImageView size by code: (or can use "View UI Hierarchy" tool in XCode)

self.imageView.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor]; 

In this scenario you should assure that UIImageView has the same aspect ratio as the image.
