I have a UITextView but text in it is align to the bottom but I want there will be a margin from the bottom like this:

----------------

some text

----------------

If I have a UITextField I can use editingRectForBounds:. But what about UITextView how can I achieve this functionality with it? ANY solution will be appreciated. And ,please, don't advice me to use UITextField instead! I need UITextView. Thanks in advance.

For a UITextView in iOS 7, use this:

textView.textContainerInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(10, 10, 10, 10);

This was the answer I went with. Seems the best solution for anything iOS7 and above.

For iOS 6, try this: 

TxtView =[[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(x, y, 250, 70)]; TxtView.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:15]; TxtView.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo; TxtView.clipsToBounds = YES; TxtView.scrollEnabled=YES; TxtView.editable=YES; TxtView.contentSize=TxtView.frame.size; TxtView.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyDone; TxtView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(-4,0,-4,0); TxtView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight; TxtView.layer.cornerRadius = 5; TxtView.clipsToBounds = YES;

Here, Inset is where you can give padding like values in textview. textview height is autoresizing so it will be changed according to text.

Use textView.textContainerInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(10,10,10,10);
