Add CALayer below UIView

I got a UIView (let's call it superview) which contains another UIView (lets call it subview).

I'd like to add a CALayer so that it is visible on top of my superview, but under my subview. In other words, my subview's background should override the layer.

I've had a look at addLayer:below: and others, but I'm not sure how to use it. Thanks.

EDIT: My bad, I had another view between superview and subview, and I was messing with it. Thanks guys !

A more general solution where you don't have access to the subviews:

layer.insertSublayer(sublayer, at: 0)

In Swift:

self.view.layer.insertSublayer(self.avPlayerLayer, below: self.button1.layer)
