How to make UIButton's text alignment center? Using IB - ios

Question

I can't set the title of UIButton using IB as center. My title is multi line.It is giving like this one
But I want like this one
I have given space in this but I don't want to do that. As it is not aligned exactly for some cases and I know there is a property of UILabel to set the alignment but I don't want to write a code for that.. just want to set everything from IB.
Thanks

Answer 1

This will make exactly what you were expecting:
Objective-C:
[myButton.titleLabel setTextAlignment:UITextAlignmentCenter];
For iOS 6 or higher it's
[myButton.titleLabel setTextAlignment: NSTextAlignmentCenter];
as explained in tyler53's answer
Swift:
myButton.titleLabel?.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.Center
Swift 4.x and above
myButton.titleLabel?.textAlignment = .center

Answer 2

Use the line:
myButton.contentHorizontalAlignment = UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentCenter;
This should center the content (horizontally).
And if you want to set the text inside the label to the center as well, use:
[labelOne setTextAlignment:UITextAlignmentCenter];
If you want to use IB, I've got a small example here which is linked in XCode 4 but should provide enough detail (also mind, on top of that properties screen it shows the property tab. You can find the same tabs in XCode 3.x):

Solution1
You can set the key path in the storyboard
Set the text to your multiline title e.g. hello ⌥ + ↵ multiline
You need to press ⌥ + ↵ to move text to next line.
Then add the key path
titleLabel.textAlignment as Number and value 1, 1 means NSTextAlignmentCenter
titleLabel.numberOfLines as Number and value 0, 0 means any number of lines
This will not be reflected on IB/Xcode, but will be in centre at run time (device/simulator)
If you want to see the changes on Xcode you need to do the following: (remember you can skip these steps)
Subclass the UIButton to make the button designable:
import UIKit
#IBDesignable class UIDesignableButton: UIButton {}
Assign this designable subclass to the buttons you're modifying:
Iff done right, you will see the visual update in IB when the Designables state is "Up to date" (which can take several seconds):

If you want to write the code, then do the long process
1.Create IBOutlet for button
2.Write code in viewDidLoad
btn.titleLabel.textAlignment = .Center
btn.titleLabel.numberOfLines = 0
Solution3
In newer version of xcode (mine is xcode 6.1) we have property attributed title
Select Attributed then select the text and press centre option below
P.S. The text was not coming multiline for that I have to set the
btn.titleLabel.numberOfLines = 0

Answer 4

For UIButton you should use:-
[btn setContentHorizontalAlignment:UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentCenter];

Answer 5

For ios 8 and Swift
btn.titleLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.Center
or
btn.titleLabel.textAlignment = .Center

Answer 6

For those of you who are now using iOS 6 or higher, UITextAlignmentCenter has been deprecated. It is now NSTextAlignmentCenter
EXAMPLE: mylabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter; Works perfectly.

Answer 7

For swift 4, xcode 9
myButton.contentHorizontalAlignment = .center

Answer 8

Assuming that btn refers to a UIButton, to change a multi-line caption to be centered horizontally, you can use the following statement in iOS 6 or later:
self.btn.titleLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;

Answer 9

For Swift 4:
#IBAction func myButton(sender: AnyObject) {
sender.titleLabel?.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.center
sender.setTitle("Some centered String", for:UIControlState.normal)
}

Answer 10

UITextAlignmentCenter is deprecated in iOS6
Instead you can use this code:
btn.titleLabel.textAlignment=NSTextAlinmentCenter;

Answer 11

For Swift 3.0
btn.titleLabel?.textAlignment = .center

Answer 12

Try Like this :
yourButton.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentCenter;
yourButton.contentHorizontalAlignment = UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentCenter;

Answer 13

Actually you can do it in interface builder.
You should set Title to "Attributed" and then choose center alignment.

Answer 14

You can do this from storyboard.
Select your button. Set Line Break 'Word Wrap', Set your title 'Plain' to 'Attributed'.
Select 'Center alignment'. This part is important => Click ...(More) Button. And select line breaking mode to 'Character Wrap'.

Answer 15

UIButton will not support setTextAlignment. So You need to go with setContentHorizontalAlignment for button text alignment
For your reference
[buttonName setContentHorizontalAlignment:UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentCenter];
