Add Carousel View inside Textview - ios

Question

I am adding data into TextView through sqlite database. I have around 30 to 35 images to be added in it after some Para or Line of data, which i have done through NSTextAttachment. Now what i want to do is wherever there are more that 2 images i want it to be in Carousel View and remaining data after it. Have a look at my code. I tried the different way but not getting success. Any help will be much appreciated.
NSTextAttachment *textAttachment1 = [[NSTextAttachment alloc] init];
textAttachment1.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"img1.png"];
NSTextAttachment *textAttachment = [[NSTextAttachment alloc] init];
textAttachment.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"img2.png"];
NSTextAttachment *textAttachment2 = [[NSTextAttachment alloc] init];
textAttachment2.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"img3.png"];
NSTextAttachment *textAttachment3 = [[NSTextAttachment alloc] init];
CGFloat oldWidth1 = textAttachment1.image.size.width;
CGFloat oldWidth = textAttachment.image.size.width;
CGFloat oldWidth2 = textAttachment2.image.size.width;
CGFloat scaleFactor1 = oldWidth1 / (self.textViewResearch.frame.size.width + 70);
CGFloat scaleFactor = oldWidth / (self.textViewResearch.frame.size.width + 70);
CGFloat scaleFactor2 = oldWidth2 / (self.textViewResearch.frame.size.width + 70);
textAttachment1.image = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:textAttachment1.image.CGImage scale:scaleFactor1 orientation:UIImageOrientationUp];
textAttachment.image = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:textAttachment.image.CGImage scale:scaleFactor orientation:UIImageOrientationUp];
textAttachment2.image = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:textAttachment2.image.CGImage scale:scaleFactor2 orientation:UIImageOrientationUp];
NSAttributedString *attrStringWithImage1 = [NSAttributedString attributedStringWithAttachment:textAttachment1];
NSAttributedString *attrStringWithImage = [NSAttributedString attributedStringWithAttachment:textAttachment];
NSAttributedString *attrStringWithImage2 = [NSAttributedString attributedStringWithAttachment:textAttachment2];
[attributedString replaceCharactersInRange:NSMakeRange(0, 0) withAttributedString:attrStringWithImage1];
[attributedString replaceCharactersInRange:NSMakeRange(13740, 0) withAttributedString:attrStringWithImage];
[attributedString replaceCharactersInRange:NSMakeRange(13741, 0) withAttributedString:attrStringWithImage2];
self.textView.attributedText = attributedString;

If I understood you correctly, you want to place an image inside a text view and let the text flow around it. Having more than 2 images you want to have a carousel, an instance of the class iCarousel.
Having a subview inside an instance of UITextView and letting the text float around it, is a known tasks. The easiest way seems to be to use the exclusion path of a text container like this:
// Get the dimension of the subview
iCarousel *subview = …;
UIBezierPath *subviewPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRect:subview.frame];
// Somewhere you should add it
UITextView *textView = …; // Wherever it comes from
[textView addSubview:subview];
// Let the text flow around it
UITextContainer *textContainer = textView.textContainer; // The text container is the region text is laid out in.
textContainer.exclusionPaths = [subviewPath]; // Do not lay out in this region.
Of course you have to change the exclusion region, whenever the frame of the subviews change.
A more flexible and more complex approach is to do the text layout your own. If the above approach does not work, let me know. I will add code for this.
