NSAttributedString left spacing - ios

I have an UITextView within NSAttributedString. And I need add some space before a letter. I need something like NSKernAttributeName, but for left spacing because NSKernAttributeName adds space on right side.

textfield.leftView= [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 20, 0)];
textfield.leftViewMode= UITextFieldViewModeAlways;
textfield.rightView= [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 20, 0)];
textfield.UITextFieldViewMode= UITextFieldViewModeAlways;
try this man

How to set UIView inside UITextView

The below picture shows that there is a view Inside TextView. Now I want that Where UIView ends from there textview starts editing, not only from Left-top also from left-bottom.
How to do it ?
Is it possible ?
If Yes, then how ?
If no, then any other suggestion ?
In case of text filed below code is applied for left padding
UIView *paddingView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 10, 20)];
textField.leftView = paddingView;
textField.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewModeAlways;
You can wrap textfiled using below code
UIBezierPath * imgRect = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 30, 30)];
self.textView.textContainer.exclusionPaths = #[imgRect];
And, now you can add any control in place of "imgRect"
UIView *spacerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 30, 30)];
spacerView1.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
[textView addSubview:spacerView1];

Input Range Width Of UITextField iOS

Is it possible to set a UITextField's input range (not the number of characters)? You can check out my screenshot below.
I already tried implementing this: Ellipsis at the end of UITextView
It didn't work, or I'm just doing it wrong.
What I want is to limit the size of the user's input AND make it ellipsis. The text at the left side of UITextfields are merely UILabels set as subviews.
So again... I need help in setting the range of the text input, and if the input length or width overlaps my RED MARK in my screenshot, the rest of the input will be converted to POINTS OF ELLIPSIS. And then I'm pretty sure I can now proceed to my project (example: clicking the arrow button will make a small popup that will show the full text).
I forgot to add my codes in that UITextField:
self.billingAddressTextField = [[UITextField alloc] init];
_billingAddressTextField.frame = CGRectMake(0, 150, scrollView.frame.size.width, 50);
_billingAddressTextField.delegate = self;
_billingAddressTextField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleNone;
_billingAddressTextField.background = [UIImage imageNamed:#"textfieldLogIn.png"];
[_billingAddressTextField setTextColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:0.686 green:0.686 blue:0.686 alpha:1.0]];
_billingAddressTextField.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
_billingAddressTextField.autocapitalizationType = UITextAutocapitalizationTypeWords;
[_billingAddressTextField setFont:[_billingAddressTextField.font fontWithSize:16.0f]];
[_billingAddressTextField setTextAlignment:NSTextAlignmentRight];
[scrollView addSubview:_billingAddressTextField];
Ok solved, I just added a new Padding (UIView) at the left side of the UITextField (billingAddressTextField). So there are now two paddings (both side) in my UITextField.
UIView *paddingViewForArrowButton = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 35, 25)];
_billingAddressTextField.rightView = paddingViewForArrowButton;
_billingAddressTextField.rightViewMode = UITextFieldViewModeAlways;
UIView *paddingforBillingLeft = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 25)];
_billingAddressTextField.leftView = paddingforBillingLeft;
_billingAddressTextField.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewModeAlways;

UITextField "content size" property

Is there a way to make the right side of a UITextField's content "end sooner" like in this graphic:
I'm using the following to give the content text some left padding, but can't figure out an easy solution to reduce the available content size on the right size: self.textfield.layer.sublayerTransform = CATransform3DMakeTranslation(10, 0, 0);
I'd rather not subclass UITextField but I'm fine doing so if need be.
try these...
i hope it helps..
UITextField *txt=[[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 100, 150, 30)];
[txt setBackgroundColor:[UIColor lightGrayColor]];
[txt setPlaceholder:#"Hello my friend"];
[self.view addSubview:txt];
UIView *paddingView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 100, 50, 30)];
txt.rightView = paddingView;
txt.rightViewMode = UITextFieldViewModeAlways;

How to set a label at the top center

I want to set a label in the top center of the view, I've already tried this
UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(self.myView.center.x, 25, 92, 46)];
But its not actaully in the center as I want, here is how it looks like:
And I want the middle of the label, in the x center, and not the beginning of the label in the center.
The easiest way is to make label's frame width equal to view's frame width and set the alignment of label to Center.
Hope this Helps !!!
Try like this ,
UILabel *lbl=[[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 30)];
lbl.textAlignment=UITextAlignmentCenter;
It does exactly what you programmed. Unfortunately there is always some basic math involved in UI programming.
One possible solution:
Initialize it with some frame of any position but with the right size.
Then set the lable views' center property accordingly.
[label setCenter:CGPointMake(self.myView.center.x, 25)];
Or simply set the frame in a way, that it takes all the space from myView's left to right and just set the text alignment to NSTextAlignmentCenter.
UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 25, self.myView.frame.size.width, 46)];
label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
Or calculate the top left corner accordingly and set the frame upon initialization. Use the center position and substract half of the width. Or use the full with of myView, substract the with and then devide by 2.
UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(self.myView.center.x-92/2, 25, 92, 46)];
or
UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake((self.myView.frame.width-92)/2, 25, 92, 46)];
Try to set the proper x-position as view.center.x - (labelwidth/2). Also set the textAlignment to center.
Using CGPointMake set center of label like this.
lblAppTitle.center= CGPointMake(self.view.bounds.size.width / 2, 25);
[lblAppTitle setTextAlignment:NSTextAlignmentCenter];
Try this
int x=(self.myView.frame.size.width-92)/2;
UILabel *lbl=[[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(x, 25, 92, 46)];
lbl.textAlignment=UITextAlignmentCenter;
Try this:
UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 92, 46)];
label.center = CGPointMake(label.bounds.size.width / 2, 25);
or this:
UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(self.myView.center.x - 46, 25, 92, 46)];
Set it's center rather than setting rect
UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 25, 92, 46)];
label.center = self.myView.center;
//Also if your frame is bigger than text then you can set this also
label.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;

iOS :viewForHeaderInSection can't get align with cell?

I have this code in my viewForHeaderInSection: of tableViewController
UILabel *l = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 0, 320, 40)] autorelease];
l.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
//l.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft; //i tried it didn't help!
l.text= NSLocalizedString(#"My Label:", #"");
the label always appears around 35 point off the cell's left side. If i use the UITextAlignmentCenter it works and it goes in center but I want it align with left size of cell. I tried the CGRectZero instead of CGRectMake(20, 0, 320, 40), changed x but it didn't work!
Any help greatly appreciated.
At first make view with frame (0, 0, 320, 40). Then put label on it.
