Objective-C:
UIColor *color = [UIColor blackColor];
someUITextField.attributedPlaceholder =
[[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"Placeholder Text"
attributes:@{
NSForegroundColorAttributeName: color,
NSFontAttributeName : [UIFont fontWithName:@"Roboto-Bold" size:17.0]
}
];
(There are no brackets between literal dictionary key-value pairs.)
Swift:
let attributes = [
NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.blackColor(),
NSFontAttributeName : UIFont(name: "Roboto-Bold", size: 17)! // Note the !
]
someUITextField.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string: "Placeholder Text", attributes:attributes)
