Convert your attributed string into an instance of NSMutableAttributedString. The mutable attributed string has a mutableString property. According to the documentation: “The receiver tracks changes to this string and keeps its attribute mappings up to date.” So you can use the resulting mutable string to execute the replacement with replaceOccurrencesOfString:withString:options:range:.
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
Swift 5 – 4 let attributedText = NSAttributedString(string: “Hello, playground”, attributes: [ .foregroundColor: UIColor.red, .backgroundColor: UIColor.green, .ligature: 1, .strikethroughStyle: 1 ]) // retrieve attributes let attributes = attributedText.attributes(at: 0, effectiveRange: nil) // iterate each attribute for attr in attributes { print(attr.key, attr.value) } In case, that you have defined attributedText of label. Swift 3 var … Read more
Here is the solution in storyboard: Open the Attribute Inspector (make sure label is selected), Change the dropdown value from ‘Plain’ to ‘Attributed’. Now a a small text editor will be visible under the font of the label. Select the text of the label, right click and change the font to ‘underline’. I also have … Read more
TL;DR; Create a custom-view, which renders same old NSAttributedString, but with rounded-corners. Unlike Android’s SpannableString, iOS does not support “custom-render for custom-string-attributes”, at least not without an entire custom-view (at time of writing, 2022). I managed to achieve the above effect, so thought I’d post an answer for the same. If anyone has any suggestions … Read more
You would do something like this… NSMutableAttributedString *hogan = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@”Presenting the great… Hulk Hogan!”]; [hogan addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:20.0] range:NSMakeRange(24, 11)]; This will set the last two words in 20-point text; the rest of the string will use the default value (which I believe is 12 points). The thing that might be confusing about … Read more
Swift Updated for Swift 4.2 Use linkTextAttributes with a UITextView textView.linkTextAttributes = [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.green] And in context: let attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: “The site is www.google.com.”) let linkRange = (attributedString.string as NSString).range(of: “www.google.com”) attributedString.addAttribute(NSAttributedString.Key.link, value: “https://www.google.com”, range: linkRange) let linkAttributes: [NSAttributedString.Key : Any] = [ NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.green, NSAttributedString.Key.underlineColor: UIColor.lightGray, NSAttributedString.Key.underlineStyle: NSUnderlineStyle.single.rawValue ] // textView is a … Read more
Starting from the iOS 6.0 you can do it like that: NSMutableAttributedString *str = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@”Hello. That is a test attributed string.”]; [str addAttribute:NSBackgroundColorAttributeName value:[UIColor yellowColor] range:NSMakeRange(3,5)]; [str addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:[UIColor greenColor] range:NSMakeRange(10,7)]; [str addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:[UIFont fontWithName:@”HelveticaNeue-Bold” size:20.0] range:NSMakeRange(20, 10)]; label.attributedText = str;
The simplest answer that worked for is to drag the fonts into FontBook. If the fonts are in your project but not in your computer’s FontBook, IB sometimes has trouble finding it. Weird, but has worked for me on several occasions.
In Swift 5 let paragraph = NSMutableParagraphStyle() paragraph.alignment = .center textView.attributedText = NSAttributedString(string: “String”, attributes: [.paragraphStyle: paragraph]) In Swift-4 let paragraph = NSMutableParagraphStyle() paragraph.alignment = .center let attributes: [NSAttributedString.Key : Any] = [NSAttributedString.Key.paragraphStyle: paragraph] let attrString = NSAttributedString(string:”string”, attributes: attributes) textView.attributedText = attrString In Swift-3 let paragraph = NSMutableParagraphStyle() paragraph.alignment = .center let attributes: [String … Read more
