UITextView to Mimic UITextField [for basic round corner text field] - colors

Question

I want to have UITextField with multiple lines, after a quick google on this issue I found that I should use TextView so I did switch my code to use UITextView when I want multiple lines. My View still have other one line textField that I want to keep.
To make my TextView looks like TextField, I had to add code to set border and radius, but they look a little bit different on iOS7. Does anyone know:
what is the color for the UITextField border? when both enabled and disabled so I can sent my textview to match it.
what is radius of the corner of TextField.
what is the background color for UITextField when it is disabled[attached picture shows the text field has lighter shade of grey when it is disabled]? so i can set my text view to the same color when i disable user interaction.
If there is away to keep using textfield for multiline text, I am all ears and i switch to use it.
Best Regards,

Answer 1

I use this:
textView.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor colorWithRed:215.0 / 255.0 green:215.0 / 255.0 blue:215.0 / 255.0 alpha:1] CGColor];
textView.layer.borderWidth = 0.6f;
textView.layer.cornerRadius = 6.0f;
little differences in the params make it looks more like UITextField(I hope).

Answer 2

I use this:
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
-(void) textViewLikeTextField:(UITextView*)textView
{
[textView.layer setBorderColor:[[UIColor colorWithRed:212.0/255.0
green:212.0/255.0
blue:212.0/255.0
alpha:1] CGColor]];
[textView.layer setBorderWidth:1.0f];
[textView.layer setCornerRadius:7.0f];
[textView.layer setMasksToBounds:YES];
}
and get a good resut.

I have a small subclass of UITextView that gives in iOS 7 the same look as the UITextField
The interface is empty:
#interface MyTextView : UITextView
#end
The implementation overwrites the initialization and the setter of the 'editable' property:
#implementation MyTextView
//================================================================================
- (id) initWithFrame: (CGRect) frame
{
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self)
{
[self commonInit];
}
return self;
}
//================================================================================
- (id) initWithCoder: (NSCoder *) aDecoder
{
self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder];
if (self)
{
[self commonInit];
}
return self;
}
//================================================================================
- (void) commonInit
{
self.layer.borderWidth = 1.0f;
self.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor colorWithRed:232.0/255.0
green:232.0/255.0 blue:232.0/255.0 alpha:1] CGColor];
self.layer.cornerRadius = 6;
}
//================================================================================
- (void) setEditable: (BOOL) editable
{
[super setEditable:editable];
if (editable)
{
self.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
}
else
{
self.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:250.0/255.0
green:250.0/255.0 blue:250.0/255.0 alpha:1];
}
}
//================================================================================
#end

This is the closest I got with enabled UITextView
[yourTextView.layer setBorderColor:[[[UIColor lightGrayColor] colorWithAlphaComponent:0.2] CGColor]];
[yourTextView.layer setBorderWidth:2.0];
yourTextView.layer.cornerRadius = 5;
yourTextView.clipsToBounds = YES;
yourTextView.textColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
