CGContextSetShadowWithColor not working



This code should be showing a shadow, but it isn't:







CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();



//Border

CGMutablePathRef outerPath = createRoundedRectForRect(self.bounds, MENU_BUTTON_OUTER_RADIUS);



CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(context, [[UIColor colorWithWhite:0 alpha:0.18] CGColor]);

CGContextAddPath(context, outerPath);

CGContextFillPath(context);



//Button



UIColor *buttonColor;

if (self.type == JMenuButtonTypeBlack) {

buttonColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0 alpha:1.0];

}

else if (self.type == JMenuButtonTypeWhite) {

buttonColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.72 alpha:1.0];

}



CGRect insideRect = rectForRectWithInset(self.bounds, 3);



CGMutablePathRef innerPath = createRoundedRectForRect(insideRect, MENU_BUTTON_INNER_RADIUS);

CGPoint gradientTop = CGPointMake(0, insideRect.origin.y);

CGPoint gradientBottom = CGPointMake(0, insideRect.origin.y + insideRect.size.height);



//Base color

CGContextSaveGState(context);

CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(context, [buttonColor CGColor]);

CGContextAddPath(context, innerPath);

CGContextFillPath(context);

CGContextRestoreGState(context);



//Gradient 1

CGContextSaveGState(context);



CGFloat colors [] = {

1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.16,

0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.11

};



CGColorSpaceRef baseSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();

CGGradientRef gradient = CGGradientCreateWithColorComponents(baseSpace, colors, NULL, 2);



CGContextAddPath(context, innerPath);

CGContextClip(context);



CGContextDrawLinearGradient(context, gradient, gradientTop, gradientBottom, 0);

CGGradientRelease(gradient), gradient = NULL;

CGColorSpaceRelease(baseSpace), baseSpace = NULL;



CGContextRestoreGState(context);





//Shadow

CGContextSaveGState(context);

CGContextAddPath(context, innerPath);

CGContextSetShadowWithColor(context, CGSizeMake(0, 2), 3.0, [[UIColor blackColor] CGColor]);

CGContextRestoreGState(context);







This is what it looks like so far. The shadow code doesn't make a difference:

  1. You're not drawing anything after you set the shadow. You need to either stroke or fill (CGContextStrokePath() or CGContextFillPath()) the path in order for it to be drawn into the context and thus appear on screen.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
