How to set content inset for UITextView in ios

Question

I'm having a UITextView and set content inset as

[atextView setContentInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 10, 0, 0)];

This code working in iOS 6.1 and below, but nothing happens in iOS 7.0.

Is there a way to do this IN STORYBOARD ?!

got answer:

[atextView setTextContainerInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(7, 7, 0, 0)];

fixed my problem.

And in Swift...

@IBOutlet var tv:UITextView! override func awakeFromNib() { super.awakeFromNib() tv.textContainerInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 0, bottom: 0, right: 0) }

UPDATE: another option to do that.

UIView *spacerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 10, 10)]; [msgtext setLeftViewMode:UITextFieldViewModeAlways]; [msgtext setLeftView:spacerView];

hey @murugha23 , I need you help on how you solved textview setContentInset problem in IOS7

Muruganandham K Over a year ago

replace setTextContainerInset instead of setContentInset. If you want to provide previous versions of ios, then check a condition reg., current device system version

Anand Over a year ago

it would be good if you can provide me a sample code of your class,including keyboard and textview's various methods ,so i can I have clear idea

An alternative and maybe a little more convenient way to do it, by subclassing the UITextField and add an @IBInspectable inset property.

import UIKit class UITextfieldWithInset: UITextField { @IBInspectable var textfieldInset: CGPoint = CGPointMake(0, 0) override func textRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect { return CGRectInset(bounds, textfieldInset.x, textfieldInset.y) } override func editingRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect { return CGRectInset(bounds, textfieldInset.x, textfieldInset.y) } override func placeholderRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect { return CGRectInset(bounds, textfieldInset.x, textfieldInset.y) } }

This is a nice answer for UITextField, but the question is about UITextView
