Question or problem in the Swift programming language:
I’m trying to port over some objective-C code that creates a gradient layer
CAGradientLayer *gradientLayer = [CAGradientLayer layer]; gradientLayer.colors = colors; gradientLayer.locations = locations; gradientLayer.frame = view.bounds; [view.layer insertSublayer:gradientLayer atIndex:index];
However in Swift, CAGradientLayer does not seem to have a static ‘layer’ method or a constructor. Trying to use it as a type produces:
let a:CAGradientLayer? = null
As far as I can tell, CAGradientLayer is not a module I can import. What’s the correct way of doing a gradient layer in Swift?
How to solve the problem:
You need to import QuartzCore first:
import QuartzCore let a:CAGradientLayer = CAGradientLayer()
