我的应用程序使用UITextView。现在我想让UITextView有一个占位符,类似于你可以为UITextField设置的占位符。

如何做到这一点?


当前回答

我扩展了KmKndy的答案,这样在用户开始编辑UITextView之前,占位符仍然是可见的,而不仅仅是点击它。这反映了Twitter和Facebook应用程序的功能。我的解决方案不需要你子类和工作,如果用户类型直接或粘贴文本!

- (void)textViewDidChangeSelection:(UITextView *)textView{
    if ([textView.text isEqualToString:@"What's happening?"] && [textView.textColor isEqual:[UIColor lightGrayColor]])[textView setSelectedRange:NSMakeRange(0, 0)];

}

- (void)textViewDidBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView{

    [textView setSelectedRange:NSMakeRange(0, 0)];
}

- (void)textViewDidChange:(UITextView *)textView
{
    if (textView.text.length != 0 && [[textView.text substringFromIndex:1] isEqualToString:@"What's happening?"] && [textView.textColor isEqual:[UIColor lightGrayColor]]){
        textView.text = [textView.text substringToIndex:1];
        textView.textColor = [UIColor blackColor]; //optional

    }
    else if(textView.text.length == 0){
        textView.text = @"What's happening?";
        textView.textColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
        [textView setSelectedRange:NSMakeRange(0, 0)];
    }
}

- (void)textViewDidEndEditing:(UITextView *)textView
{
    if ([textView.text isEqualToString:@""]) {
        textView.text = @"What's happening?";
        textView.textColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor]; //optional
    }
    [textView resignFirstResponder];
}

- (BOOL)textView:(UITextView *)textView shouldChangeTextInRange:(NSRange)range replacementText:(NSString *)text{
    if (textView.text.length > 1 && [textView.text isEqualToString:@"What's happening?"]) {
         textView.text = @"";
         textView.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    }

    return YES;
}

只需要记住在创建时使用准确的文本设置myUITextView即可。

UITextView *myUITextView = [[UITextView alloc] init];
myUITextView.delegate = self;
myUITextView.text = @"What's happening?";
myUITextView.textColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor]; //optional

在包含这些方法之前,让父类成为一个UITextView委托。

@interface MyClass () <UITextViewDelegate>

看一下UTPlaceholderTextView。

这是UITextView的一个方便的子类,它支持类似于UITextField的占位符。主要特点:

不使用子视图 不重写drawRect: 占位符的长度可以是任意的,并以与通常文本相同的方式呈现

还有一个简单的答案,使用CATextLayer。

添加CATextLayer到UITextView的层。 使用UITextViewDelegate方法,简单地改变CATextLayer的颜色。

func txtViewPlaceholder() {
    let textlayer = CATextLayer()

    textlayer.frame = CGRect(x: 5, y: 5, width: 200, height: 18)
    textlayer.contentsScale = UIScreen.main.scale
    textlayer.fontSize = 12
    textlayer.alignmentMode = kCAAlignmentLeft
    textlayer.string = "Enter here"
    textlayer.isWrapped = true
    textlayer.name = "placeholder"
    textlayer.backgroundColor = UIColor.white.cgColor
    textlayer.foregroundColor = UIColor.black.cgColor

    yourTxtVw.layer.insertSublayer(textlayer, at: 0)
}

func removeAddPlaceholder(remove: Bool, textView: UITextView) {
    for layers in textView.layer.sublayers! where layers.name == "placeholder" {
        
        if remove {
            (layers as! CATextLayer).foregroundColor = UIColor.white.cgColor
        } else {
            (layers as! CATextLayer).foregroundColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
        }
        
    }
}


extension YourViewController : UITextViewDelegate {

    func textViewShouldBeginEditing(_ textView: UITextView) -> Bool {
    
        removeAddPlaceholder(remove: true, textView: textView)
    
        return true
    }

    func textViewDidEndEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {
    
        if textView.text.count <= 0 {
            removeAddPlaceholder(remove: false, textView: textView)
        }
    }

}

在h课上

@interface RateCommentViewController : UIViewController<UITextViewDelegate>{IBoutlet UITextview *commentTxtView;}

在。m类

- (void)viewDidLoad{      
    commentTxtView.text = @"Comment";
    commentTxtView.textColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
    commentTxtView.delegate = self;
}

- (BOOL) textViewShouldBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView
{
    commentTxtView.text = @"";
    commentTxtView.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    return YES;
}

-(void) textViewDidChange:(UITextView *)textView
{
    if(commentTxtView.text.length == 0){
        commentTxtView.textColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
        commentTxtView.text = @"Comment";
        [commentTxtView resignFirstResponder];
    }
}

下面是“SAMTextView”ObjC代码的Swift端口,作为对这个问题的第一批回答之一。我在iOS 8上进行了测试。我调整了一些东西,包括占位符文本的位置的边界偏移,因为原来的位置太高,太右了(在那个帖子的一个评论中使用了建议)。

我知道有很多简单的解决方案,但我喜欢子类化UITextView的方法,因为它是可重用的,而且我不必在使用它的机制时使类变得混乱。

我对发布的任何解决方案都不太满意,因为它们有点重。向视图中添加视图并不理想(尤其是在drawRect:)。它们都有漏洞,这也是不可接受的。

这是我的解决方案:SAMTextView

它比其他的要简单得多,因为它不使用子视图(或有泄漏)。请随意使用。

更新11/10/11:它现在是文档化的,并支持在接口生成器中使用。

更新11/24/13:指向新的回购。
