You can create a text range with the method textRangeFromPosition:toPosition. This method requires two positions, so you need to compute the positions for the start and the end of your range. That is done with the method positionFromPosition:offset, which returns a position from another position and a character offset. – (CGRect)frameOfTextRange:(NSRange)range inTextView:(UITextView *)textView { UITextPosition … Read more
I find the concept of fiddling with the internal gesture recognizers a little scary, so tried to find another solution. I’ve discovered that we can override point(inside:with:) to effectively allow a “tap-through” when the user isn’t touching down on text with a link inside it: // Inside a UITextView subclass: override func point(inside point: CGPoint, … Read more
The problem there is that you have to change the Character Encoding options from NSUnicodeStringEncoding to NSUTF8StringEncoding to load your of your html the proper way. I think you should create a string extension read-only computed property to convert your html code to attributed string: Xcode 8.3.1 • Swift 3.1 extension Data { var attributedString: … Read more
I have converted dementiazz’s answer to Swift: func updateTextFont() { if (textView.text.isEmpty || CGSizeEqualToSize(textView.bounds.size, CGSizeZero)) { return; } let textViewSize = textView.frame.size; let fixedWidth = textViewSize.width; let expectSize = textView.sizeThatFits(CGSizeMake(fixedWidth, CGFloat(MAXFLOAT))); var expectFont = textView.font; if (expectSize.height > textViewSize.height) { while (textView.sizeThatFits(CGSizeMake(fixedWidth, CGFloat(MAXFLOAT))).height > textViewSize.height) { expectFont = textView.font!.fontWithSize(textView.font!.pointSize – 1) textView.font = expectFont } … Read more
Instead of resizing the frame, why not give your text view a contentInset (and a matching scrollIndicatorInsets)? Remember that text views are actually scrollviews. This is the correct way to handle keyboard (or other) interference. For more information on contentInset, see this question. This seems to not be enough. Still use insets, as this is … Read more
UITextView conforms to UITextInput, of which a detailed description can be found here. Take a look at the required methods “textRangeFromPosition:toPosition:”, “positionFromPosition:offset:”, “positionFromPosition:inDirection:offset:”, and some of the other geometric-based methods in the UITextInput Protocol. Those might provide the functionality you are looking for. I have not actually tried to make sure these work the way … Read more
Just select the UITextView in your storyboard and go to “Show Attributes inspector” and select selectable and links. As the image below shows. Make sure Editable is unchecked.
Use NSAttributedString NSAttributedString *attributedString = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@”Google” attributes:@{ NSLinkAttributeName: [NSURL URLWithString:@”http://www.google.com”] }]; self.textView.attributedText = attributedString; Sure, you can set just a portion of the text to be the link. Please read more about the NSAttributedString here. If you want to have more control and do something before opening the link. You can set the … Read more
This appears to be a bug in iOS 7.0’s UITextViews. A similar question has a workaround which seems to help: set the text view’s text to nil before setting it to the new text string.
It seems that in iOS 7 link detection only works if the UITextView is selectable. So making my UITextView not selectable stopped the the link detection from working. I also tested this in iOS 6 and I can confirm that in iOS 6 the link detection works fine even with the UITextView not being selectable.
