[ios] How to add a border just on the top side of a UIView

I took both Adam Waite's and Pauls answers and combined them. I also added the possibility to pipe the selected edges together, so you need to call only one function like so:

[self.view addBordersToEdge:(UIRectEdgeLeft|UIRectEdgeRight)
                  withColor:[UIColor grayColor]
                   andWidth:1.0];

or so:

[self.view addBordersToEdge:(UIRectEdgeAll)
                  withColor:[UIColor grayColor]
                   andWidth:1.0];

What you need to implement is a category on UIView as suggested in other answers with the following implementation:

- (void)addBordersToEdge:(UIRectEdge)edge withColor:(UIColor *)color andWidth:(CGFloat) borderWidth {
    if (edge & UIRectEdgeTop) {
        UIView *border = [UIView new];
        border.backgroundColor = color;
        [border setAutoresizingMask:UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleBottomMargin];
        border.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.frame.size.width, borderWidth);
        [self addSubview:border];
    }

    if (edge & UIRectEdgeLeft) {
        UIView *border = [UIView new];
        border.backgroundColor = color;
        border.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, borderWidth, self.frame.size.height);
        [border setAutoresizingMask:UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleRightMargin];
        [self addSubview:border];
    }

    if (edge & UIRectEdgeBottom) {
        UIView *border = [UIView new];
        border.backgroundColor = color;
        [border setAutoresizingMask:UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleTopMargin];
        border.frame = CGRectMake(0, self.frame.size.height - borderWidth, self.frame.size.width, borderWidth);
        [self addSubview:border];
    }

    if (edge & UIRectEdgeRight) {
        UIView *border = [UIView new];
        border.backgroundColor = color;
        [border setAutoresizingMask:UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleLeftMargin];
        border.frame = CGRectMake(self.frame.size.width - borderWidth, 0, borderWidth, self.frame.size.height);
        [self addSubview:border];
    }
}
