Solution 1 - Ios

Another method if you like sublayers. In your custom view's init, put this (_border is an ivar):

_border = [CAShapeLayer layer];
_border.strokeColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:67/255.0f green:37/255.0f blue:83/255.0f alpha:1].CGColor;
_border.fillColor = nil;
_border.lineDashPattern = @[@4, @2];
[self.layer addSublayer:_border];

And in your layoutsubviews, put this:

_border.path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRect:self.bounds].CGPath;
_border.frame = self.bounds;

Solution 2 - Ios

You can set the border with this pattern using Layer and Bezier path like below examples.

Objective-C

CAShapeLayer *yourViewBorder = [CAShapeLayer layer];
yourViewBorder.strokeColor = [UIColor blackColor].CGColor;
yourViewBorder.fillColor = nil;
yourViewBorder.lineDashPattern = @[@2, @2];
yourViewBorder.frame = yourView.bounds;
yourViewBorder.path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRect:yourView.bounds].CGPath;
[yourView.layer addSublayer:yourViewBorder];

Swift 3.1

var yourViewBorder = CAShapeLayer()
yourViewBorder.strokeColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
yourViewBorder.lineDashPattern = [2, 2]
yourViewBorder.frame = yourView.bounds
yourViewBorder.fillColor = nil
yourViewBorder.path = UIBezierPath(rect: yourView.bounds).cgPath
yourView.layer.addSublayer(yourViewBorder)

You can also set different types of design using pattern image like below example.

[yourView.layer setBorderWidth:5.0];
[yourView.layer setBorderColor:[[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"DotedImage.png"]] CGColor]];///just add image name and create image with dashed or doted drawing and add here

Here you've to add <QuartzCore/QuartzCore> framework in the project and import it with below line in YourViewController.m file.

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>

For those of you working in Swift, this class extension on UIView makes it easy. This was based on sunshineDev's answer.

extension UIView {
  func addDashedBorder() {
    let color = UIColor.red.cgColor
    
    let shapeLayer:CAShapeLayer = CAShapeLayer()
    let frameSize = self.frame.size
    let shapeRect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: frameSize.width, height: frameSize.height)
    
    shapeLayer.bounds = shapeRect
    shapeLayer.position = CGPoint(x: frameSize.width/2, y: frameSize.height/2)
    shapeLayer.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
    shapeLayer.strokeColor = color
    shapeLayer.lineWidth = 2
    shapeLayer.lineJoin = CAShapeLayerLineJoin.round
    shapeLayer.lineDashPattern = [6,3]
    shapeLayer.path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: shapeRect, cornerRadius: 5).cgPath
    
    self.layer.addSublayer(shapeLayer)
    }
}

To use it:

anyView.addDashedBorder()

Solution 4 - Ios

Here is a UIView subclass that can work for any project, it also works for round views:

import UIKit

class CustomDashedView: UIView {
    
    @IBInspectable var cornerRadius: CGFloat = 0 {
        didSet {
            layer.cornerRadius = cornerRadius
            layer.masksToBounds = cornerRadius > 0
        }
    }
    @IBInspectable var dashWidth: CGFloat = 0
    @IBInspectable var dashColor: UIColor = .clear
    @IBInspectable var dashLength: CGFloat = 0
    @IBInspectable var betweenDashesSpace: CGFloat = 0
    
    var dashBorder: CAShapeLayer?
    
    override func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()
        dashBorder?.removeFromSuperlayer()
        let dashBorder = CAShapeLayer()
        dashBorder.lineWidth = dashWidth
        dashBorder.strokeColor = dashColor.cgColor
        dashBorder.lineDashPattern = [dashLength, betweenDashesSpace] as [NSNumber]
        dashBorder.frame = bounds
        dashBorder.fillColor = nil
        if cornerRadius > 0 {
            dashBorder.path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: bounds, cornerRadius: cornerRadius).cgPath
        } else {
            dashBorder.path = UIBezierPath(rect: bounds).cgPath
        }
        layer.addSublayer(dashBorder)
        self.dashBorder = dashBorder
    }
}

This way you can edit from the Storyboard like this:

Solution 5 - Ios

Swift 3:

import UIKit

class UIViewWithDashedLineBorder: UIView {
    
    override func draw(_ rect: CGRect) {
        
        let path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: rect, cornerRadius: 0)
        
        UIColor.purple.setFill()
        path.fill()

        UIColor.orange.setStroke()
        path.lineWidth = 5
        
        let dashPattern : [CGFloat] = [10, 4]
        path.setLineDash(dashPattern, count: 2, phase: 0)
        path.stroke()
    }
}

Use in a storyboard (as custom class) or directly in code:

let v = UIViewWithDashedLineBorder(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 100))

Result:

Solution 6 - Ios

Building upon what Prasad G has suggested I created a method inside a UIImage Extras class with the following:

- (CAShapeLayer *) addDashedBorderWithColor: (CGColorRef) color {
    CAShapeLayer *shapeLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];

    CGSize frameSize = self.size;

    CGRect shapeRect = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, frameSize.width, frameSize.height);
    [shapeLayer setBounds:shapeRect];
    [shapeLayer setPosition:CGPointMake( frameSize.width/2,frameSize.height/2)];

    [shapeLayer setFillColor:[[UIColor clearColor] CGColor]];
    [shapeLayer setStrokeColor:color];
    [shapeLayer setLineWidth:5.0f];
    [shapeLayer setLineJoin:kCALineJoinRound];
    [shapeLayer setLineDashPattern:
     [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSNumber numberWithInt:10],
      [NSNumber numberWithInt:5],
      nil]];
    UIBezierPath *path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:shapeRect cornerRadius:15.0];
    [shapeLayer setPath:path.CGPath];

    return shapeLayer;
}

It's important to point out that if you define your shape's position as (0,0), the bottom corner of the border will be placed in the center of the image, that's why I set it to: (frameSize.width/2,frameSize.height/2)

I then use my method to get the dashed border using the UIImage of my UIImageView and add the CAShapeLayer as a sublayer of the UIImageView layer:

[myImageView.layer addSublayer:[myImageView.image addDashedBorderWithColor:[[UIColor whiteColor] CGColor]]];

Solution 7 - Ios

Use CGContextSetLineDash() method.

CGFloat dashPattern[]= {3.0, 2};

context =UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(context, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
// And draw with a blue fill color
CGContextSetRGBFillColor(context, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0);
// Draw them with a 2.0 stroke width so they are a bit more visible.
CGContextSetLineWidth(context, 4.0);
CGContextSetLineDash(context, 0.0, dashPattern, 2);

CGContextAddRect(context, self.bounds);

// Close the path
CGContextClosePath(context);

CGContextStrokePath(context);

// Fill & stroke the path
CGContextDrawPath(context, kCGPathFillStroke);

I think it will be helpful to you.

Solution 8 - Ios

For this you need add CAShapeLayer for that particular object

 CAShapeLayer * dotborder = [CAShapeLayer layer];
    dotborder.strokeColor = [UIColor redColor].CGColor;//your own color
    dotborder.fillColor = nil;
    dotborder.lineDashPattern = @[@4, @2];//your own patten 
    [codeBtn.layer addSublayer:dotborder];
    dotborder.path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRect:codeBtn.bounds].CGPath;
    dotborder.frame = codeBtn.bounds;

Swift 4.2

Based off rmooney's answer as a UIView extension with configurable parameters that have default values set.

> Note this does not work if the view has self.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false

extension UIView {
  func addDashedBorder(_ color: UIColor = UIColor.black, withWidth width: CGFloat = 2, cornerRadius: CGFloat = 5, dashPattern: [NSNumber] = [3,6]) {

    let shapeLayer = CAShapeLayer()

    shapeLayer.bounds = bounds
    shapeLayer.position = CGPoint(x: bounds.width/2, y: bounds.height/2)
    shapeLayer.fillColor = nil
    shapeLayer.strokeColor = color.cgColor
    shapeLayer.lineWidth = width
    shapeLayer.lineJoin = CAShapeLayerLineJoin.round // Updated in swift 4.2
    shapeLayer.lineDashPattern = dashPattern
    shapeLayer.path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: bounds, cornerRadius: cornerRadius).cgPath

    self.layer.addSublayer(shapeLayer)
  }
}

Solution 10 - Ios

Swift version of the QuartzCore answer.

import QuartzCore    

let dottedPattern = UIImage(named: "dottedPattern")
myView.layer.borderWidth = 1
myView.layer.borderColor = UIColor(patternImage: dottedPattern!).CGColor

The CAShapeLayer approach works, but the QuartzCore approach is better at handling a Table View reload, if the UIView is inside a cell.

For the image, you can use something like this (it's really small):

enter image description here

I tend to prefer vector over PNGs when I can get away with it:

  • Within Sketch, create a 4x4 pixel rectangle.
  • Make a total of four of these
  • Group them into a foursquare, alternating colors
  • Export the group as PDF
  • Within Images.xcassets, create a New Image Set called dottedPattern
  • Change the Scale Factors to Single Vector
  • Drop in your PDF

Solution 11 - Ios

For Xamarin.iOS dashed/dotted border.

        dottedLayer = new CAShapeLayer();
        dottedLayer.StrokeColor = UIColor.FromRGB(202, 202, 208).CGColor; 
        dottedLayer.FillColor = null;
        dottedLayer.LineDashPattern = new[] { new NSNumber(4), new NSNumber(2) };

        dottedLayer.Path = UIBezierPath.FromRect(YourView.Bounds).CGPath; //for square
        dottedLayer.Path = UIBezierPath.FromRoundedRect(YourView.Bounds, 5).CGPath; //for rounded corners

        dottedLayer.Frame = YourView.Bounds;
        YourView.Layer.AddSublayer(dottedLayer);

In Swift 3

let border = CAShapeLayer();
border.strokeColor = UIColor.black.cgColor;
border.fillColor = nil;
border.lineDashPattern = [4, 4];
border.path = UIBezierPath(rect: theView.bounds).cgPath
border.frame = theView.bounds;
theView.layer.addSublayer(border);

For Swift 5

extension UIView {
    func addDashBorder() {
        let color = UIColor.white.cgColor
        
        let shapeLayer:CAShapeLayer = CAShapeLayer()
        
        let frameSize = self.frame.size
        let shapeRect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: frameSize.width, height: frameSize.height)
        
        shapeLayer.bounds = shapeRect
        shapeLayer.name = "DashBorder"
        shapeLayer.position = CGPoint(x: frameSize.width/2, y: frameSize.height/2)
        shapeLayer.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
        shapeLayer.strokeColor = color
        shapeLayer.lineWidth = 1.5
        shapeLayer.lineJoin = .round
        shapeLayer.lineDashPattern = [2,4]
        shapeLayer.path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: shapeRect, cornerRadius: 10).cgPath
        
        self.layer.masksToBounds = false
        
        self.layer.addSublayer(shapeLayer)
    }
}

• Swift 5

• Works with autolayout

• Works with the corner radius

    private let dashedLineColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
    private let dashedLinePattern: [NSNumber] = [6, 3]
    private let dashedLineWidth: CGFloat = 4

I ended up creating a IB Designable using some of @Chris implementation:

CurvedDashedBorderUIVIew.h:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

IB_DESIGNABLE
@interface CurvedDashedBorderUIVIew : UIView

@property (nonatomic) IBInspectable CGFloat cornerRadius;
@property (nonatomic) IBInspectable UIColor *borderColor;
@property (nonatomic) IBInspectable int dashPaintedSize;
@property (nonatomic) IBInspectable int dashUnpaintedSize;

@property (strong, nonatomic) CAShapeLayer *border;

@end

CurvedDashedBorderUIVIew.m:

#import "CurvedDashedBorderUIVIew.h"

@implementation CurvedDashedBorderUIVIew

- (instancetype)init
{
    self = [super init];
    if (self) {
        [self setup];
    }
    return self;
}

- (instancetype)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)coder
{
    self = [super initWithCoder:coder];
    if (self) {
        [self setup];
    }
    return self;
}

- (instancetype)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {
        [self setup];
    }
    return self;
}

-(void)setup
{
    _border = [CAShapeLayer layer];
    [self.layer addSublayer:_border];
}

-(void)layoutSubviews {
    [super layoutSubviews];
    self.layer.cornerRadius = self.cornerRadius;
    
    _border.strokeColor = self.borderColor.CGColor;
    _border.fillColor = nil;
    _border.lineDashPattern = @[[NSNumber numberWithInt:_dashPaintedSize],
                                [NSNumber numberWithInt:_dashUnpaintedSize]];
    _border.path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:self.bounds cornerRadius:self.cornerRadius].CGPath;
    _border.frame = self.bounds;

You can simply create a IBDesignable class like this:

import UIKit

@IBDesignable
class BorderedView: UIView {

    @IBInspectable var cornerRadius: CGFloat = 0

    @IBInspectable var borderWidth: CGFloat = 0

    @IBInspectable var borderColor: UIColor = UIColor.clear

    override func draw(_ rect: CGRect) {
        let path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: rect, cornerRadius: cornerRadius)
        path.lineWidth = borderWidth
    
        borderColor.setStroke()
    
        let dashPattern : [CGFloat] = [10, 4]
        path.setLineDash(dashPattern, count: 2, phase: 0)
        path.stroke()
    }

}

Then just subclass your view with BorderedView from Xcode. This way you can set the border color and border width very easily from the interface builder!

Solution 20 - Ios

extension UIView{
func addDashedLineBorder() {
    let color = UIColor.black.cgColor
    
    let shapeLayer:CAShapeLayer = CAShapeLayer()
    let frameSize = (self.frame.size)
    let shapeRect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: self.frame.width, height: self.frame.height)
    
    shapeLayer.bounds = shapeRect
    shapeLayer.position = CGPoint(x: frameSize.width/2, y: frameSize.height/2)
    shapeLayer.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
    shapeLayer.strokeColor = color
    shapeLayer.lineWidth = 1
    shapeLayer.lineJoin = kCALineJoinRound
    shapeLayer.lineDashPattern = [2,2]
    shapeLayer.path = UIBezierPath(rect: shapeRect).cgPath
    
    self.layer.addSublayer(shapeLayer)
}

} and call this function in viewdidLoad() with delay:

DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.5) { 
            // Your code with delay
            self.YourView.addDashedBorder()
        }

If you want this to work with cornerRadius then try this

tagView.clipsToBounds = YES;
tagView.layer.cornerRadius = 20.0f;
tagView.backgroundColor = [UIColor groupTableViewBackgroundColor];

CAShapeLayer *yourViewBorder = [CAShapeLayer layer];
yourViewBorder.strokeColor = [UIColor blackColor].CGColor;
yourViewBorder.fillColor = nil;
yourViewBorder.lineDashPattern = @[@2, @2];
yourViewBorder.frame = tagView.bounds;

// Create the path for to make circle
UIBezierPath *maskPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:tagView.bounds
                                               byRoundingCorners:UIRectCornerAllCorners
                                                     cornerRadii:CGSizeMake(20, 20)];


yourViewBorder.path = maskPath.CGPath;

[tagView.layer addSublayer:yourViewBorder];

Improvement for @Chris's answer.

extension UIView {
    func dashLinedBorder() -> CAShapeLayer {
        let viewBorder = CAShapeLayer()
        viewBorder.strokeColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
        viewBorder.lineDashPattern = [4, 2]
        viewBorder.fillColor = nil
        self.layer.addSublayer(viewBorder)
        return viewBorder
    }
}

Define your CAShapeLayer inside the ViewController,

var viewBillingProofCAShapeLayer: CAShapeLayer!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    self.viewBillingProofCAShapeLayer = self.viewBillingProofInner.dashLinedBorder()
}

then override viewDidLayoutSubviews

override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
    self.viewBillingProofCAShapeLayer.path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: self.viewBillingProofInner.bounds, byRoundingCorners: .allCorners, cornerRadii: CGSize(width: 4, height: 4)).cgPath
    self.viewBillingProofCAShapeLayer.frame = self.viewBillingProofInner.bounds
}

SwiftUI

   var body: some View {
        Rectangle()
            .strokeBorder(style: StrokeStyle(lineWidth: 4, dash: [10]))
    }
