Is there an API for the blue email address bubbles?

Question

Hi!

Is there an API that will let me reproduce the blue round email address bubbles easily? You see these bubbles in Mail on MacOS and on the iPhone.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Yes. Use the NSTokenField class.

Answer 2

Might want to take a look at Numeric badges on the iPhone.

Another alternative is the Three20 project. Its samples shows a method for compositing 'badges.'

Answer 3

To get a rounded label simply include the QuartzCore-Framework in your project and add this to your .m file:

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>

Then create a regular UILabel *label. Set the font, textColor, backgroundColor as you like and then add rounded Corners:

label.layer.cornerRadius = label.frame.size.height/2;
