I am using UITextView inside super view UIView to display text with many different types of fonts.
But UITextView text is getting cut when applying specific font Smoothie_Life_Swirls_2.0
I am creating textView programmatically as below,
textView = ResizableTextView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: contentView.frame.size.width, height: contentView.frame.size.height))
textView.isScrollEnabled = false
textView.alignment = .center
textView.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
textView.fontName = "Helveticas"
textView.fontSize = contentView.frame.size.height
textView.textColor = textColor
textView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleTopMargin, .flexibleRightMargin, .flexibleBottomMargin, .flexibleLeftMargin, .flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight]
textView.delegate = self
contentView.addSubview(textView)
textView.becomeFirstResponder()
Here ResizableTextView is my UITextView class, in which fontName and fontSize will be set
public class ResizableTextView: UITextView {
public private(set) var textAttributes: [String: AnyObject] = [:]
public var fontName: String = "Helvetica" {
didSet {
let font = UIFont(name: fontName, size: fontSize)
textAttributes[NSFontAttributeName] = font
self.attributedText = NSAttributedString(string: self.text, attributes: textAttributes)
self.font = font
}
}
public var fontSize: CGFloat = 20 {
didSet {
let font = UIFont(name: fontName, size: fontSize)
textAttributes[NSFontAttributeName] = font
self.attributedText = NSAttributedString(string: self.text, attributes: textAttributes)
self.font = font
}
}
}
When I set Smoothie_Life_Swirls_2.0 font to textView using ResizableTextView's fontName property, at that time text is getting cut.
Text1 - Getting Output
Text2 - Required Output
I want to fit the text in UITextView same as Text2, but I am getting the result as displayed in Text1.
I have a custom UITextfield which I want when the user finishes typing, a small "R$" must be added at the begging of the text with different size.
I call the method to add the "R$" like this:
self.addTarget(self, action: #selector(setCurrencyLabelPosition), for: .editingDidEnd)
and then I try to change the attributes and content like this:
func setCurrencyLabelPosition(){
let fullText:String = "R$\((self.text)!)"
self.text = fullText
var attribute:NSMutableAttributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(attributedString:self.attributedText!)
attribute.addAttribute(NSFontAttributeName, value:UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 12), range: NSRange(location: 0, length: 2))
self.attributedText = attribute
}
the original text of this textfield is set for size 40.0, I want only the "R$" to be of size 12.0
The problem I'm facing is that the whole text gets the size 40.0
It prints the "R$" but the size of 40.
Is it possible to do what I'm trying to using NSMutableAttributedString?
I had been working on your question, I think there is a bug in UITextField because if you modify the font to bigger font it works but if you do so but for small font then don't work.
I have done a custom class and added some customizable Inspectable properties, hope this finally help you
This is how looks, Note: the glitch is because of my gif converter
import UIKit
#IBDesignable
class CustomTextField: UITextField {
#IBInspectable var prefix : String = ""
#IBInspectable var removePrefixOnEditing : Bool = true
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
}
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
self.addTarget(self, action: #selector(setCurrencyLabelPosition), for: .editingDidEnd)
self.addTarget(self, action: #selector(removePrefix), for: .editingDidBegin)
}
func removePrefix(){
if self.attributedText != nil
{
if(self.removePrefixOnEditing)
{
self.defaultTextAttributes = [NSFontAttributeName : UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 20)]
let prefixRange = NSString(string: (self.attributedText?.string)!).range(of: prefix)
if(prefixRange.location != NSNotFound)
{
self.attributedText = NSAttributedString(string: (self.attributedText?.string.replacingOccurrences(of: prefix, with: ""))!, attributes: self.defaultTextAttributes)
}
}
}
}
func setCurrencyLabelPosition(){
if self.attributedText != nil
{
var fullText:String = "\((self.attributedText?.string)!)"
if(NSString(string: (self.attributedText?.string)!).range(of: prefix).location == NSNotFound)
{
fullText = "\(prefix)\((self.attributedText?.string)!)"
}
//hacky part, seems to be a bug in UITextField
self.defaultTextAttributes = [NSFontAttributeName : UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 10)]
self.attributedText = NSAttributedString(attributedString: self.changeFontForText(originalText: fullText, text: prefix, basicFont: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 20), newFont: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 12)))
}
}
func changeFontForText(originalText:String,text:String,basicFont:UIFont, newFont:UIFont) -> NSMutableAttributedString
{
let resultAttributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: originalText, attributes: [NSFontAttributeName : basicFont])
let range = NSString(string: originalText).range(of: text)
if(range.location != NSNotFound)
{
resultAttributedString.setAttributes([NSFontAttributeName:newFont], range: range)
}
return resultAttributedString
}
}
Hope this helps
In my project, I am using swift 3.0. Right now I am using following class (UILabel subclass) to adjust font size based on UILabel frame height. When UILabel frame change occurs, layoutSubviews recalculates proportional font size.
class Label: UILabel {
// FIXME: - properties
var fontSize: CGFloat = 0
var frameHeight: CGFloat = 0
// FIXME: - proportional font size adjustment
override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
font = font.withSize(frame.size.height * (fontSize / frameHeight))
}
}
HOW TO USE:
private let id: Label = {
let label = Label()
label.textAlignment = .left
label.numberOfLines = 1
label.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17, weight: .semibold)
label.textColor = UIColor(hex: 0x212121, alpha: 1)
label.fontSize = 17
label.frameHeight = 20
label.clipsToBounds = true
return label
}()
Now I want to show some part of String in UILabel as BOLD TEXT and remaining in REGULAR TEXT. So I have found some help on this thread: Making text bold using attributed string in swift
I am using "Prajeet Shrestha's" extension for NSMutableAttributedString.
// "Prajeet Shrestha's" extension
extension NSMutableAttributedString {
func bold(_ text:String) -> NSMutableAttributedString {
let attrs:[String:AnyObject] = [NSFontAttributeName : UIFont(name: "AvenirNext-Medium", size: 12)!]
let boldString = NSMutableAttributedString(string:"\(text)", attributes:attrs)
self.append(boldString)
return self
}
func normal(_ text:String)->NSMutableAttributedString {
let normal = NSAttributedString(string: text)
self.append(normal)
return self
}
}
But I am not getting how I can change font size of this NSMutableAttributedString, when UILabel frame change occurs?
Any help appeciated.
Try this
Source Looping Through NSAttributedString Attributes to Increase Font SIze
mutableStringObj?.enumerateAttribute(NSFontAttributeName, in: NSRange(location: 0, length: mutableStringObj?.length), options: [], usingBlock: {(_ value: Any, _ range: NSRange, _ stop: Bool) -> Void in
if value {
var oldFont: UIFont? = (value as? UIFont)
var newFont: UIFont? = oldFont?.withSize(CGFloat(oldFont?.pointSize * 2))
res?.removeAttribute(NSFontAttributeName, range: range)
res?.addAttribute(NSFontAttributeName, value: newFont, range: range)
}
})
Finally come up with an answer.
I created seperate custom UILabel subclass as follows:
class AttrLabel: UILabel {
// FIXME: - properties
var fontSize: CGFloat = 0
var frameHeight: CGFloat = 0
// FIXME: - proportional font size adjustment
override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
guard let oldAttrText = attributedText else {
return
}
let mutableAttributedText = NSMutableAttributedString(attributedString: oldAttrText)
mutableAttributedText.beginEditing()
mutableAttributedText.enumerateAttribute(NSFontAttributeName, in: NSRange(location: 0, length: mutableAttributedText.length), options: []) { (_ value: Any?, _ range: NSRange, _ stop: UnsafeMutablePointer<ObjCBool>) in
if let attributeFont = value as? UIFont {
let newFont = attributeFont.withSize(self.frame.size.height * (self.fontSize / self.frameHeight))
mutableAttributedText.removeAttribute(NSFontAttributeName, range: range)
mutableAttributedText.addAttribute(NSFontAttributeName, value: newFont, range: range)
}
}
mutableAttributedText.endEditing()
attributedText = mutableAttributedText
}
}
HOW TO USE:
private let id: AttrLabel = {
let label = AttrLabel()
label.textAlignment = .left
label.numberOfLines = 1
label.fontSize = 17
label.frameHeight = 20
label.clipsToBounds = true
return label
}()
SETTING ATTRIBUTED TEXT
let idStr = NSMutableAttributedString()
id.attributedText = idStr.attrStr(text: "BOLD TEXT: ", font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17, weight: .semibold), textColor: UIColor(hex: 0x212121, alpha: 1)).attrStr(text: "REGULAR WEIGHT TEXT.", font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17, weight: .regular), textColor: UIColor(hex: 0x212121, alpha: 1))
"Prajeet Shrestha's" extension for NSMutableAttributedString modified by me
extension NSMutableAttributedString {
func attrStr(text: String, font: UIFont, textColor: UIColor) -> NSMutableAttributedString {
let attributes: [String: Any] = [
NSFontAttributeName: font,
NSForegroundColorAttributeName: textColor
]
let string = NSMutableAttributedString(string: text, attributes: attributes)
self.append(string)
return self
}
}
Try Using label property adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth AND minimumScaleFactor like this:
label.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = true
label.minimumScaleFactor = 0.2
then you also need to increase number of lines like this any number instead of 10
label.numberOfLines = 10
I was wondering if it is possible to create a UIButton with two lines of text. I need each line to have a different font size. The first line will be 17 point and the second will be 11 point. I've tried messing with putting two labels inside of a UIButton, but I can't get them to stay inside the bounds of the button.
I'm attempting to do all of this in the ui builder, and not programmatically.
Thanks
There are two questions.
I was wondering if it is possible to create a UIButton with two lines
of text
This is possible through using the storyboard or programmatically.
Storyboard:
Change the 'Line Break Mode' to Character Wrap or Word Wrap and use Alt/Option + Enter key to enter a new line in the UIButton's Title field.
Programmatically:
override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
btnTwoLine?.titleLabel?.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakMode.ByWordWrapping;
}
I need each line to have a different font size
1
The worst case is, you can use a custom UIButton class and add two labels within it.
The better way is, make use of NSMutableAttributedString. Note that,this can be achieved through only programmatically.
Swift 5:
#IBOutlet weak var btnTwoLine: UIButton?
override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
//applying the line break mode
textResponseButton?.titleLabel?.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakMode.byWordWrapping;
let buttonText: NSString = "hello\nthere"
//getting the range to separate the button title strings
let newlineRange: NSRange = buttonText.range(of: "\n")
//getting both substrings
var substring1 = ""
var substring2 = ""
if(newlineRange.location != NSNotFound) {
substring1 = buttonText.substring(to: newlineRange.location)
substring2 = buttonText.substring(from: newlineRange.location)
}
//assigning diffrent fonts to both substrings
let font1: UIFont = UIFont(name: "Arial", size: 17.0)!
let attributes1 = [NSMutableAttributedString.Key.font: font1]
let attrString1 = NSMutableAttributedString(string: substring1, attributes: attributes1)
let font2: UIFont = UIFont(name: "Arial", size: 11.0)!
let attributes2 = [NSMutableAttributedString.Key.font: font2]
let attrString2 = NSMutableAttributedString(string: substring2, attributes: attributes2)
//appending both attributed strings
attrString1.append(attrString2)
//assigning the resultant attributed strings to the button
textResponseButton?.setAttributedTitle(attrString1, for: [])
}
Older Swift
#IBOutlet weak var btnTwoLine: UIButton?
override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
//applying the line break mode
btnTwoLine?.titleLabel?.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakMode.ByWordWrapping;
var buttonText: NSString = "hello\nthere"
//getting the range to separate the button title strings
var newlineRange: NSRange = buttonText.rangeOfString("\n")
//getting both substrings
var substring1: NSString = ""
var substring2: NSString = ""
if(newlineRange.location != NSNotFound) {
substring1 = buttonText.substringToIndex(newlineRange.location)
substring2 = buttonText.substringFromIndex(newlineRange.location)
}
//assigning diffrent fonts to both substrings
let font:UIFont? = UIFont(name: "Arial", size: 17.0)
let attrString = NSMutableAttributedString(
string: substring1 as String,
attributes: NSDictionary(
object: font!,
forKey: NSFontAttributeName) as [NSObject : AnyObject])
let font1:UIFont? = UIFont(name: "Arial", size: 11.0)
let attrString1 = NSMutableAttributedString(
string: substring2 as String,
attributes: NSDictionary(
object: font1!,
forKey: NSFontAttributeName) as [NSObject : AnyObject])
//appending both attributed strings
attrString.appendAttributedString(attrString1)
//assigning the resultant attributed strings to the button
btnTwoLine?.setAttributedTitle(attrString, forState: UIControlState.Normal)
}
Output
I was looking for nearly the same topic, except that I don't need two different font sizes. In case someone is looking for a simple solution:
let button = UIButton()
button.titleLabel?.numberOfLines = 0
button.titleLabel?.lineBreakMode = .byWordWrapping
button.setTitle("Foo\nBar", for: .normal)
button.titleLabel?.textAlignment = .center
button.sizeToFit()
button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(rightBarButtonTapped), for: .allEvents)
navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(customView: button)
I have notice an issue in most of the solutions which is while making line break mode to "Character Wrap" the second line will be left aligned to the first line
To make all the lines centered.
just change the title From Plain to Attributed and then you can make each line centered
change line break to character wrap , select your button and in attribute inspector go to line break and change it to character wrap
SWIFT 3 Syntax
let str = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "First line\nSecond Line")
str.addAttribute(NSFontAttributeName, value: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17), range: NSMakeRange(0, 10))
str.addAttribute(NSFontAttributeName, value: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 12), range: NSMakeRange(11, 11))
button.setAttributedTitle(str, for: .normal)
I have fixed this and my solution it was only in the Storyboard.
Changes:
It added in Identity Inspector -> User Defined Runtime Attributes (these KeyPaths):
numberOfLines = 2
titleLabel.textAlignment = 1
User Defined Runtime Attributes
I added this in attributes inspector:
line break = word wrap
Word wrap
You need to do some of this in code. you can't set 2 different fonts in IB. In addition to changing the line break mode to character wrap, you need something like this to set the title,
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
var str = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "First line\nSecond Line")
str.addAttribute(NSFontAttributeName, value: UIFont.systemFontOfSize(17), range: NSMakeRange(0, 10))
str.addAttribute(NSFontAttributeName, value: UIFont.systemFontOfSize(12), range: NSMakeRange(11, 11))
button.setAttributedTitle(str, forState: .Normal)
}
New with Xcode 13 (iOS 15)
Starting with Xcode 13, the button's title and subtitle may have their attributes set separately.
Using Storyboard:
In the Attribute Inspector for the button, select "Attributed" by Title. Then change font size of the title and the subtitle.
Or Programmatically:
// Create Title
let titleSettings = AttributeContainer.font( UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue-Italic", size: 17)! )
yourButton.configuration?.attributedTitle = AttributedString("Button's Title", attributes: titleSettings)
// Create Subtitle
let subtitleSettings = AttributeContainer.font( UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue-Italic", size: 11)! )
yourButton.configuration?.attributedSubtitle = AttributedString("Button's Subtitle", attributes: subtitleSettings)
One way to do it is with labels, I guess. I did this, and it seems to work ok. I could create this as a UIButton and then expose the labels, I guess. I don't know if this makes any sense.
let firstLabel = UILabel()
firstLabel.backgroundColor = UIColor.lightGrayColor()
firstLabel.text = "Hi"
firstLabel.textColor = UIColor.blueColor()
firstLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.Center
firstLabel.frame = CGRectMake(0, testButton.frame.height * 0.25, testButton.frame.width, testButton.frame.height * 0.2)
testButton.addSubview(firstLabel)
let secondLabel = UILabel()
secondLabel.backgroundColor = UIColor.lightGrayColor()
secondLabel.textColor = UIColor.blueColor()
secondLabel.font = UIFont(name: "Arial", size: 12)
secondLabel.text = "There"
secondLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.Center
secondLabel.frame = CGRectMake(0, testButton.frame.height * 0.5, testButton.frame.width, testButton.frame.height * 0.2)
testButton.addSubview(secondLabel)
The suggested solutions unfortunately did not work out for me when I wanted to have a mutliline button inside a CollectionView. Then a colleague showed me a workaround which I wanted to share in case someone has the same problem - hope this helps! Create a class which inherits from UIControl and extend it with a label, which will then behave similar like a button.
class MultilineButton: UIControl {
let label: UILabel = {
$0.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
$0.numberOfLines = 0
$0.textAlignment = .center
return $0
}(UILabel())
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
addSubview(label)
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
label.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: layoutMarginsGuide.leadingAnchor),
label.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: layoutMarginsGuide.trailingAnchor),
label.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: layoutMarginsGuide.topAnchor),
label.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: layoutMarginsGuide.bottomAnchor)
])
}
override var isHighlighted: Bool {
didSet {
backgroundColor = backgroundColor?.withAlphaComponent(isHighlighted ? 0.7 : 1.0)
label.textColor = label.textColor.withAlphaComponent(isHighlighted ? 0.7 : 1.0)
}
}
required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
}
my way:
func setButtonTitle(title: String, subtitle: String, button: UIButton){
//applying the line break mode
button.titleLabel?.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakMode.byWordWrapping;
let title = NSMutableAttributedString(string: title, attributes: Attributes.biggestLabel)
let subtitle = NSMutableAttributedString(string: subtitle, attributes: Attributes.label)
let char = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "\n", attributes: Attributes.biggestLabel)
title.append(char)
title.append(subtitle)
button.setAttributedTitle(title, for: .normal)
}
I am trying to change the font of the placeholder text in the search bar within my Search Display Controller. I was looking at some examples and I tried to implement them but as they are in Objective-C, I wasn't able to find any that I could get to work.
For example, I tried this one:
UITextField *textField = [[searchBar subviews] objectAtIndex:1];
[textField setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica" size:40]];
But I was unable to get past var textField: UITextField = UISearchBar
Any ideas?
//SearchBar Text
let textFieldInsideUISearchBar = dashBoardSearchBar.valueForKey("searchField") as? UITextField
textFieldInsideUISearchBar?.textColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
//SearchBar Placeholder
let textFieldInsideUISearchBarLabel = textFieldInsideUISearchBar!.valueForKey("placeholderLabel") as? UILabel
textFieldInsideUISearchBarLabel?.textColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
Set placeholder text font size:
UILabel.appearance(whenContainedInInstancesOf: [UISearchBar.self]).font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 12)
set search text font size:
UITextField.appearance(whenContainedInInstancesOf: [UISearchBar.self]).font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 12)
This is the easiest practise for changing the Font or any other similar changes in the textfield of searchBar. I have been using XCode 8.4, Swift 3.x, iOS 10.x.
extension UISearchBar {
func change(textFont : UIFont?) {
for view : UIView in (self.subviews[0]).subviews {
if let textField = view as? UITextField {
textField.font = textFont
}
}
} }
The above code can be called directly where you make an IBOutlet of the searchBar...
#IBOutlet weak var searchBar: UISearchBar! {
didSet {
searchBar.change(textFont: GlobalConstants.Font.avenirBook14)
}
}
searchBar.searchTextField.font = UIFont(name: "Helvetica", size: 40)
There is even an easier way in Swift 5:
searchBar[keyPath: \.searchTextField].font = UIFont(...)
In iOS 8 ,try this
for subView in searchBar.subviews {
for subsubView in subView.subviews {
if let textField = subsubView as? UITextField {
textField.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string:NSLocalizedString("Search", comment:""),
attributes:[NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.orangeColor()])
}
}
}
Swift 3 version of #Alvin's answer
let textFieldInsideUISearchBar = searchBar.value(forKey: "searchField") as? UITextField
let placeholderLabel = textFieldInsideUISearchBar?.value(forKey: "placeholderLabel") as? UILabel
placeholderLabel?.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 12.0)
This works perfectly for ios7 -> ios9 using swift 2:
if #available(iOS 9.0, *) {
UITextField.appearanceWhenContainedInInstancesOfClasses([UISearchBar.self]).font = UI.getInstance.tinyFont
} else {
func checkSubview(view:UIView)
for subView in view.subviews {
if subView is UITextField {
let textField = subView as! UITextField
textField.font = UI.getInstance.tinyFont
} else {
checkSubview(subView)
}
}
checkSubview(view)
}
Just replace UI.getInstance.tinyFont by whichever font you want.
let searchBar = UISearchBar()
guard let font = UIFont(name: "Helvetica", size: 40.0) else { return }
let attributedString = NSAttributedString(
string: "Search...",
attributes: [
.font: font
]
)
searchBar.searchTextField.attributedPlaceholder = attributedString
