UIView to UIImage using UIGraphicsImageRenderer wrongly renderer image with alpha










1















I'm converting a UIView to UIImage, to set it as navigationBar background.



Thats view has an gradient layer, and when i use setBackgroundImage(_ backgroundImage: UIImage?, for barMetrics: UIBarMetrics) using the converted view, navigation gets a little transparent, something like 0.8 alpha



Here's the code that i'm using:



let navBackground = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame.origin.x, 
y: UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame.origin.y,
width: UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame.width,
height: UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame.height+self.navigationController!.navigationBar.frame.size.height))
let gradient: CAGradientLayer = CAGradientLayer()
gradient.colors = [UIColor(red:0.16, green:0.22, blue:0.49, alpha:1.0).cgColor, UIColor(red:0.31, green:0.53, blue:0.78, alpha:1.0).cgColor]
gradient.locations = [0.0, 1.0]
gradient.startPoint = CGPoint(x: 0, y: 1)
gradient.endPoint = CGPoint(x: 1, y: 0)
gradient.frame = navBackground.bounds
navBackground.layer.insertSublayer(gradient, above: nil)
let imgBackground = navBackground.asImage()
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(imgBackground, for: UIBarMetrics.default)


asImage() it's a UIView extension that convert UIView to UIImage:



extension UIView {

func asImage() -> UIImage

let renderer = UIGraphicsImageRenderer(bounds: bounds)
return renderer.image rendererContext in
layer.render(in: rendererContext.cgContext)


!


Result: sample

          Turn off the translucent property of navigation bar. Actually the default navigation background has a blur effect but your converted image has none.
