There are many great examples on SO to remove the left padding of a UITextView.
How to lose margin/padding in UITextView?
However, I need to remove the right padding too.
I have tried...
[tv setContentInset: UIEdgeInsetsMake(-4,-8,-8,-X)];//where X is any integer
and just about every other permutation of the last two values to remove the padding and nothing seems to work. Have also tried
[tv sizeToFit];
[tv setTextAlignment:[NSTextAlignmentRight]];
The following Text in the Textview says "00"
Although it is iOS 7 only, an extremely clean solution is to set the textView's textContainerInsets as such:
[textView setTextContainerInset:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
textView.textContainer.lineFragmentPadding = 0; // to remove left padding
This will effectively remove all padding (insets) around the text inside the text view. If your deployment target is iOS 7+ then this is the best solution thus far.
To completely remove all padding, the lineFragmentPadding must be taken into account.
let padding = textView.textContainer.lineFragmentPadding
textView.textContainerInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: -padding, bottom: 0, right: -padding)
The lineFragmentPadding default value is 5, and is at the beginning and end of fragment rectangle.
Some answers suggested setting lineFragmentPadding to 0. However, as per discussed in the doc, it is not designed to express text margins. So do not set it to 0.
Swift 4 version for the OA
self.tDescription.textContainerInset = UIEdgeInsets.zero
self.tDescription.textContainer.lineFragmentPadding = 0
For iOS 11.7
Following code worked for me:
textView.textContainer.lineFragmentPadding = CGFloat(0.0)
textView.textContainerInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 0, bottom: 0, right: 0)
textView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0,left: 0,bottom: 0,right: 0)
From the Official Documentation:
textContainerInset
: It is possible to set the text container and view sizes and resizing behavior so that the inset cannot be maintained exactly, although the text system tries to maintain the inset wherever possible.
In any case, the textContainerOrigin and size of the text container are authoritative as to the location of the text container within the view.
The text itself can have an additional inset, inside the text container, specified by the lineFragmentPadding method of NSTextContainer.
Please try sub-classing the UITextView and overriding the following method:
- (id)styleString
{
return [[super styleString] stringByAppendingString:#"; line-height: 1.6em;margin-right: 30px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"];
}
Apparently; you can tweak the margin-left, margin-top & whatever you want ;)
My problem is solved this way
if([Utils isiOS7orHigher]){
commentView.textContainerInset = UIEdgeInsetsZero;
}else {
commentView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(-11,-8,0,0);
}

I want to inset the table view separator by 10 points from the current automatic inset so it respects the safe area etc. but when I set it in the storyboard it doesn't work as documented.
Turns out the settings in the storyboard are not being respected.
When I added the settings in code then it worked as expected.
tableView.separatorInsetReference = .fromAutomaticInsets
tableView.separatorInset = .init(top: 0, left: 10, bottom: 0, right: 0)
I want to put scrollViewIndicator just a bit more outside(right) of scrollView. But It doesn't go even if I set self.mainMenuCollectionView.scrollIndicatorInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 10, 0, 0);. It might because of inset works as padding and not going out of bounds of scrollView. It stays in the border.
It works for putting indise(left) of the view.
It would be really helpful if you know how can I achieve that.
N: normal
S: It is possible
W: How I want
You need to setup opposite side with minus sign like:
self.mainMenuCollectionView.scrollIndicatorInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 0, bottom: 0, right: -10)
Don't forget disable clipsToBounds for getting visible subviews outside:
self.mainMenuCollectionView.clipsToBounds = false
I want to place information text in main scene of the application. When ı place a text view, its content starts at the middle. There is a between the text and top boundary of the TextView.
How can I make the text start at the first line of the TextView ?
You can set the contentOffset property of textView to zero like
textView.setContentOffset(CGPoint.zero, animated: false)
Swift 3
textView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 0, bottom: 0, right: 0)
I am attempting to create margins in my text field so that when I go to type, the text isn't pressed so tightly against the edge.
I tried using this code (above viewDidLoad)
var insets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(10, 10, 10, 10)
Then putting this in my viewDidLoad()
textField.layoutMargins = insets
I ran the program and it still looked like there were no margins. How do I implement margins in a text field in Swift?
Subclass UITextField and implement textRectForBounds:. The simplest strategy is to call super, get the resulting rect, inset it as desired, and return it.
Here's an example result; note that the start and end of the text have considerable white space at the margin (of course the exact amount is up to you):
By creating new UIView with the right(your) values, you can set the padding in UITextField
textField.leftView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 30, y: 30, width: 100, height: 100))
textField.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewMode.Always
I've been trying to animate a change in UIEdgeInsets. I've already tried using UIView.animateWithDuration and the insets just jump to the final values. Does anyone know if this a property that can't be animated? Or better yet, is anyone aware of a way to animate insets?
As an example:
// Starting inset values
self.searchField.placeHolderInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 110, bottom: 0, right: 10)
// Animation block
UIView.animateWithDuration(0.1, animations: {
self.searchField.placeHolderInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 18, bottom: 0, right: 10)
})
Instead of moving 92 pixels to the left over 0.1 seconds, the text jumps to the final value. searchField is a UITextField and .placeHolderInset is the UIEdgeInset being used to determine the insets for the UITextField's placeholder text.
EDIT: Another way to achieve the desired effect is by changing the UITextField's .textAlignment from .Center to .Left but that won't animate either.
You need to call layoutIfNeeded() on the view, inside of the animation block.
