Attributed text with two text alignments - ios

Question

Does anyone know how to achieve two different text alignments in one string?
This is what I want the textView to show:
label value
My code:
let txtView = cell.viewWithTag(77) as! UITextView
let leftStyle = NSMutableParagraphStyle()
leftStyle.alignment = NSTextAlignment.Left
let rightStyle = NSMutableParagraphStyle()
rightStyle.alignment = NSTextAlignment.Right
let attText = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "label", attributes: [NSParagraphStyleAttributeName: leftStyle])
attText.appendAttributedString(NSAttributedString(string: " "))
attText.appendAttributedString(NSAttributedString(string: "value", attributes: [NSParagraphStyleAttributeName: rightStyle]))
txtView.attributedText = attText
What I get instead:
label value

Answer 1

Using NSMutableParagraphStyle with NSTextTab:
let paragraph = NSMutableParagraphStyle()
paragraph.tabStops = [
NSTextTab(textAlignment: .Right, location: 100, options: [:]),
]
let str = "Label\tValue\n"
+ "foo\tbar\n"
let attributed = NSAttributedString(
string: str,
attributes: [NSParagraphStyleAttributeName: paragraph]
)
let view = UITextView(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 120, 120))
view.textContainer.lineFragmentPadding = 10
view.attributedText = attributed
Of course, this aligns to "tabstop", but not to the edge of UITextView. When you modify the size of the view, you have to also modify the location of NSTextTab.

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
tableView.register(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "cell")
let cell = Placestableview.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath);
//first text
let attributestitle = [NSAttributedStringKey.font:
UIFont(name: "Helvetica-Bold", size: 15.0)!,
NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor: UIColor.black] as [NSAttributedStringKey: Any]
//second text
let attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "\t"+String(places[indexPath.row].distance!)+" miles", attributes: [NSAttributedStringKey.font: UIFont(name: "Helvetica-Bold", size: 8.0)!,NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor: UIColor.black])
let myParagraphStyle = NSMutableParagraphStyle()
myParagraphStyle.alignment = .right
myParagraphStyle.tabStops = [
NSTextTab(textAlignment: .right, location: 300, options: [:]),
]
let attributedStringtitle = NSMutableAttributedString(string: places[indexPath.row].title!, attributes: attributestitle)
//adding the right alignment to the second text alone
attributedString.addAttributes([.paragraphStyle: myParagraphStyle], range: NSRange(location: 0, length: attributedString.length))
//combining two texts with different alignments.
let combination = NSMutableAttributedString()
combination.append(attributedStringtitle)
combination.append(attributedString)
cell.textLabel?.attributedText = combination
return cell;
}
