How to Draw a Speech Bubble in Swift 2.0

Here’s a quick example of how to create a custom UIView to display a speech bubble in Swift 2.0 just like this:

Step 1: Subclass UIView

Firstly, you need to subclass UIView as follows.

If you intended to use storyboard, ensure that you replace the fatalError line with super.init(coder: aDecoder)

class SpeechBubble: UIView {

    var color:UIColor = UIColor.grayColor()

    override init(frame: CGRect) {
        super.init(frame: frame)
    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }
}

Step 2: Override drawRect(rect: CGRect)

Hello

Hello there,

Welcome to my personal blog where I’ll sporadically and infrequently post about Hilenium and neat Swift and Symfony2 tools and resources that I come across.

A word about Hilenium

Julian, my business partner, and I decided to build Hilenium to help agencies and marketers work better together.

Between us we have decades of complementary experience, with Julian having built a successful web agency and I having worked as a CMO and senior marketer in a range of companies and successful startups.

Together, we will make it easier for agencies and marketers to pitch ideas, collaborate on projects and deliver exceptional marketing outcomes.

All the best!
