在视图加载中设置值

    txtVw!.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionType.No
    txtVw!.text = "Write your Placeholder"
    txtVw!.textColor = UIColor.lightGrayColor()



func textViewDidBeginEditing(textView: UITextView) {
    if (txtVw?.text == "Write your Placeholder")

    {
        txtVw!.text = nil
        txtVw!.textColor = UIColor.blackColor()
    }
}

func textViewDidEndEditing(textView: UITextView) {
    if txtVw!.text.isEmpty
    {
        txtVw!.text = "Write your Placeholder"
        txtVw!.textColor = UIColor.lightGrayColor()
    }
    textView.resignFirstResponder()
}

func setPlaceholder(){ var placeholderLabel = UILabel() placeholderLabel.text = "Describe your need..." placeholderLabel.font = UIFont.init(name: "Lato-Regular", size: 15.0) ?? UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 14.0) placeholderLabel.sizeToFit() descriptionTextView.addSubview(placeholderLabel) placeholderLabel.frame.origin = CGPoint(x: 5, y: (descriptionTextView.font?.pointSize)! / 2) placeholderLabel.textColor = UIColor.lightGray placeholderLabel.isHidden = !descriptionTextView.text.isEmpty } //Delegate Method. func textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) { placeholderLabel.isHidden = !textView.text.isEmpty }

斯威夫特3.2

extension EditProfileVC:UITextViewDelegate{

    func textViewDidBeginEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {
        if textView.textColor == UIColor.lightGray {
            textView.text = nil
            textView.textColor = UIColor.black
       }
    }
    func textViewDidEndEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {
        if textView.text.isEmpty {
            textView.text = "Placeholder"
            textView.textColor = UIColor.lightGray
        }
    }
}

首先，当用户开始编辑textViewDidBeginEditing调用，然后检查如果文本灰色的颜色意味着用户没有写任何东西，然后设置为textview nil，并将用户文本的颜色更改为黑色。

当用户端编辑textViewDidEndEditing是调用和检查如果用户没有写任何在textview然后文本设置为灰色与文本“占位符”

在视图加载中设置值

    txtVw!.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionType.No
    txtVw!.text = "Write your Placeholder"
    txtVw!.textColor = UIColor.lightGrayColor()



func textViewDidBeginEditing(textView: UITextView) {
    if (txtVw?.text == "Write your Placeholder")

    {
        txtVw!.text = nil
        txtVw!.textColor = UIColor.blackColor()
    }
}

func textViewDidEndEditing(textView: UITextView) {
    if txtVw!.text.isEmpty
    {
        txtVw!.text = "Write your Placeholder"
        txtVw!.textColor = UIColor.lightGrayColor()
    }
    textView.resignFirstResponder()
}

与这篇文章中几乎所有的答案相反，UITextView确实有一个占位符属性。由于我无法理解的原因，它只在IB中出现，例如:

<userDefinedRuntimeAttributes>
  <userDefinedRuntimeAttribute type="string" keyPath="placeholder" value="My Placeholder"/>
</userDefinedRuntimeAttributes>

因此，如果你正在使用故事板，一个静态占位符就足够了，只需在检查器上设置属性。

你也可以像这样在代码中设置这个属性:

textView.setValue("My Placeholder", forKeyPath: "placeholder")

它的多云天气，这是通过私有API访问，因为属性是暴露的。

我还没有尝试过用这种方法提交。但我将很快以这种方式提交，并将相应地更新这个答案。

更新:

我已经在多个版本中发布了这个代码，苹果没有任何问题。

更新: 这将只适用于Xcode pre 11.2

Swift 4、4.2和5

[![@IBOutlet var detailTextView: UITextView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        detailTextView.delegate = self
}

extension ContactUsViewController : UITextViewDelegate {

    public func textViewDidBeginEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {
        if textView.text == "Write your message here..." {
            detailTextView.text = ""
            detailTextView.textColor = UIColor.init(red: 0/255, green: 0/255, blue: 0/255, alpha: 0.86)

        }
        textView.becomeFirstResponder()
    }

    public func textViewDidEndEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {

        if textView.text == "" {
            detailTextView.text = "Write your message here..."
            detailTextView.textColor = UIColor.init(red: 0/255, green: 0/255, blue: 0/255, alpha: 0.30)
        }
        textView.resignFirstResponder()
    }
