我遵循了这个链接的代码。只有7个简单的步骤。它添加了一个UILabel的textView和隐藏/显示标签时，文本输入或从textView通过textView的textViewDidChangeSelection(_ textView: UITextView)委托方法。我将步骤放在代码上方的注释中。

// 1. make sure to include the UITextViewDelegate
class YourClass: UITextViewDelegate {

    @IBOutlet weak var textView : UITextView!

    // 2. create placeholder textLabel
    let placeHolderTextLabel: UILabel = {
        let placeholderLabel = UILabel()
        placeholderLabel.text = "Placeholder text..."
        placeholderLabel.sizeToFit()
        placeholderLabel.textColor = UIColor.lightGray
        return placeholderLabel
    }()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        // 3. set textView delegate
        textView.delegate = self

        configurePlaceholderTextLabel()
    }


    func configurePlaceholderTextLabel() {

        // 4. add placeholder label to textView, set it's frame and font
        textView.addSubview(placeHolderTextLabel)
        placeHolderTextLabel.frame.origin = CGPoint(x: 5, y: (textView.font?.pointSize)! / 2)
        placeHolderTextLabel.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: (textView.font?.pointSize)!)

        // 5. decide wether the placeHolderTextLabel is hidden or not depending on if there is or isn't text inside the textView
        placeHolderTextLabel.isHidden = !textView.text.isEmpty

    }

    // 6. implement textView delegate method to update the placeHolderTextLabel when the text is changed
    func textViewDidChangeSelection(_ textView: UITextView) {

        // 7. decide wether the placeHolderTextLabel is hidden or not depending on if there is or isn't text inside the textView when text in textView is changed
        placeHolderTextLabel.isHidden = !textView.text.isEmpty
    }

}

我能够做添加一个“占位符”到UITextView与很多少的代码。这就是我所做的:

UITextView *textView = [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(60, 800, 200, 60)];
textView.text = @"Write characters here...";
textView.textColor=[UIColor grayColor];
textView.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Hevlatica" size:15];
textView.delegate=self;

我猜这不是一个真正的占位符，因为你必须在写之前删除文本，但如果你想要一些更简单的东西，它可能会有帮助。

我找到了一个很容易模仿占位符的方法

在NIB或代码设置你的textView的textColor为lightGrayColor(大多数时候) 确保你的textView的委托链接到文件的所有者和实现UITextViewDelegate在你的头文件 将文本视图的默认文本设置为(例如:"Foobar placeholder") 实现:(BOOL) textViewShouldBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView

编辑:

Changed if statements to compare tags rather than text. If the user deleted their text it was possible to also accidentally delete a portion of the place holder @"Foobar placeholder".This meant if the user re-entered the textView the following delegate method, -(BOOL) textViewShouldBeginEditing:(UITextView *) textView, it would not work as expected. I tried comparing by the color of the text in the if statement but found that light grey color set in interface builder is not the same as light grey color set in code with [UIColor lightGreyColor]

- (BOOL) textViewShouldBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView
{
    if(textView.tag == 0) {
        textView.text = @"";
        textView.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
        textView.tag = 1;
    }
    return YES;
}

当键盘返回并且[textView length] == 0时，也可以重置占位符文本

编辑:

只是为了让最后一部分更清楚——下面是如何将占位符文本设置回去:

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

好吧，我的阴沟有点不同 我创建了一个小班来为你做这件事。

TextViewShader。m文件

#import "TextViewShader.h"

@implementation TextViewShader
-(id)initWithShadedTextView:(NSString *)text textViewToShade:(UITextView *)textview {
    self = [super initWithFrame:textview.frame];
    if (self) {
        if (shadeLabel==nil)
        {
            shadeLabel= [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 0, textview.frame.size.width, 30)];


    }
    shadeLabel.text =text;// @"Enter Your Support Request";
    shadeLabel.textColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
    [textview setDelegate: self];
    [textview addSubview:shadeLabel];
}
return self;
}

-(void)textViewDidChange:(UITextView *)textView{
        if (textView.text.length==0)
        {
            shadeLabel.hidden=false; 
        }
        else
        {
            shadeLabel.hidden=true;
        }

}

@end

TextViewShader.h文件

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface TextViewShader : UIView<UITextViewDelegate>{
    UILabel *shadeLabel;

}
-(id)initWithShadedTextView:(NSString *)text textViewToShade:(UITextView *)textview ;
@end

这是简单的一行代码使用(不要忘记添加#import "TextViewShader.h")

 TextViewShader* shader = [[TextViewShader alloc]initWithShadedTextView:@"Enter Your Support Request" textViewToShade: youruitextviewToshade];

玩得开心!

斯威夫特3.1

在尝试了所有快速的答案之后，这个答案将为我节省3个小时的研究时间。希望这能有所帮助。

确保你的textField(不管你有什么自定义名称)指向它在Storyboard中的委托，并且有一个@IBOutlet和你的customtextfield 将以下内容添加到viewDidLoad()中，加载视图时会出现:

告诉我什么看起来是占位符:

yourCustomTextField = "Start typing..." 
yourCustomTextField.textColor = .lightGray

在viewDidLoad外部但在同一个类内部添加以下声明:UIViewController, UITextViewDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate

这段代码将使yourCustomTextField在输入textField时消失:

func textViewDidBeginEditing (_ textView: UITextView) { 

    if (textView.text == "Start typing...") {

        textView.text = ""
        textView.textColor = .black
    }

    textView.becomeFirstResponder()
}

func textViewDidEndEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {
    if (textView.text == "") {

        textView.text = "Start typing..."
        textView.textColor = .lightGray
    }

    textView.resignFirstResponder()
}

我通读了所有这些，但提出了一个非常简短的Swift 3解决方案，在我的所有测试中都有效。它可以更一般化一点，但过程很简单。这是整个东西，我称之为“TextViewWithPlaceholder”。

import UIKit

class TextViewWithPlaceholder: UITextView {

    public var placeholder: String?
    public var placeholderColor = UIColor.lightGray

    private var placeholderLabel: UILabel?

    // Set up notification listener when created from a XIB or storyboard.
    // You can also set up init() functions if you plan on creating
    // these programmatically.
    override func awakeFromNib() {
        super.awakeFromNib()

        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self,
                                           selector: #selector(TextViewWithPlaceholder.textDidChangeHandler(notification:)),
                                           name: .UITextViewTextDidChange,
                                           object: self)

        placeholderLabel = UILabel()
        placeholderLabel?.alpha = 0.85
        placeholderLabel?.textColor = placeholderColor
    }

    // By using layoutSubviews, you can size and position the placeholder
    // more accurately. I chose to hard-code the size of the placeholder
    // but you can combine this with other techniques shown in previous replies.
    override func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()

        placeholderLabel?.textColor = placeholderColor
        placeholderLabel?.text = placeholder

        placeholderLabel?.frame = CGRect(x: 6, y: 4, width: self.bounds.size.width-16, height: 24)

        if text.isEmpty {
            addSubview(placeholderLabel!)
            bringSubview(toFront: placeholderLabel!)
        } else {
            placeholderLabel?.removeFromSuperview()
        }
    }

    // Whenever the text changes, just trigger a new layout pass.
    func textDidChangeHandler(notification: Notification) {
        layoutSubviews()
    }
}
