简单的Swift 3解决方案

添加UITextViewDelegate到类中

设置你的textview .delegate = self

创建placeholderLabel和位置它在你的textview

现在动画placeholderLabel。alpha在textViewDidChange:

  func textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) {
    let newAlpha: CGFloat = textView.text.isEmpty ? 1 : 0
    if placeholderLabel.alpha != newAlpha {
      UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3) {
        self.placeholderLabel.alpha = newAlpha
      }
    }
  }

你可能不得不使用placeholderLabel位置来设置它，但这应该不会太难

我对bcd的解决方案做了一些小修改，以允许从Xib文件初始化、文本包装和保持背景颜色。希望它能为其他人省去麻烦。

如果你正在寻找一个简单的方法来实现这一点，试试我的方法:

- (BOOL)textViewShouldBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView
{
    if ([[textView text] isEqualToString:PLACE_HOLDER_TEXT]) {
          textView.text = @"";
          textView.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    }

    return YES;
}

-(BOOL)textViewShouldEndEditing:(UITextView *)textView
{
    if ([[textView text] length] == 0) {
        textView.text = PLACE_HOLDER_TEXT;
        textView.textColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
    }
    return YES;
}

是的，就是它PLACE_HOLDER_TEXT是一个NSString包含你的占位符

在UITextView PlaceholderTextView中支持图标属性占位符的简单类

@IBOutlet weak var tvMessage: PlaceholderTextView!
//  TODO: - Create Icon Text Attachment
let icon: NSTextAttachment = NSTextAttachment()
icon.image = UIImage(named: "paper-plane")
let iconString = NSMutableAttributedString(attributedString: NSAttributedString(attachment: icon))

tvMessage.icon = icon

//  TODO: - Attributes
let textColor = UIColor.gray
let lightFont = UIFont(name: "Helvetica-Light", size: tvMessage.font!.pointSize)
let italicFont = UIFont(name: "Helvetica-LightOblique", size: tvMessage.font!.pointSize)

//  TODO: - Placeholder Attributed String
let message = NSAttributedString(string: " " + "Personal Message", attributes: [ NSFontAttributeName: lightFont!,   NSForegroundColorAttributeName: textColor])
iconString.append(message)
// TODO: - Italic Placeholder Part
let option = NSAttributedString(string: " " + "Optional", attributes: [ NSFontAttributeName: italicFont!, NSForegroundColorAttributeName: textColor])
iconString.append(option)

tvMessage.attributedPlaceHolder = iconString

tvMessage.layoutSubviews()

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。

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。

这个帖子已经有了很多答案，但这里是我更喜欢的版本。

它扩展了现有的UITextView类，因此很容易重用，并且它不拦截像textViewDidChange这样的事件(这可能会破坏用户的代码，如果他们已经在其他地方拦截了这些事件)。

使用我的代码(如下所示)，你可以很容易地添加一个占位符到任何你的UITextViews像这样:

self.textViewComments.placeholder = @"(Enter some comments here.)";

当你设置这个新的占位符值时，它会悄悄地在你的UITextView上添加一个UILabel，然后在必要时隐藏/显示它:

好的，要做这些改变，添加一个包含以下代码的"UITextViewHelper.h"文件:

//  UITextViewHelper.h
//  Created by Michael Gledhill on 13/02/15.

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface UITextView (UITextViewHelper)

@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString* placeholder;
@property (nonatomic, strong) UILabel* placeholderLabel;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString* textValue;

-(void)checkIfNeedToDisplayPlaceholder;

@end

…和一个UITextViewHelper。M文件包含:

//  UITextViewHelper.m
//  Created by Michael Gledhill on 13/02/15.
//
//  This UITextView category allows us to easily display a PlaceHolder string in our UITextView.
//  The downside is that, your code needs to set the "textValue" rather than the "text" value to safely set the UITextView's text.
//
#import "UITextViewHelper.h"
#import <objc/runtime.h>

@implementation UITextView (UITextViewHelper)

}

-(void)checkIfNeedToDisplayPlaceholder

    self.placeholderLabel.hidden = (![self.text isEqualToString:@""]);

}

#pragma mark - Add a "placeHolder" string to the UITextView class

    [self checkIfNeedToDisplayPlaceholder];
}
-(UILabel*)placeholderLabel
{
    //  Returns our new UILabel
    return objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &kKeyLabel);
}
@end

是的，它有很多代码，但是一旦你把它添加到你的项目中，并包含了.h文件……

#import "UITextViewHelper.h"

.．.你可以很容易地在UITextViews中使用占位符。

不过有一个问题。

如果你这样做:

self.textViewComments.placeholder = @"(Enter some comments here.)";
self.textViewComments.text = @"Ooooh, hello there";

.．.占位符将出现在文本的顶部。设置文本值时，不会调用任何常规通知，因此我不知道如何调用我的函数来决定是否显示/隐藏占位符。

解决方案是设置textValue而不是text:

self.textViewComments.placeholder = @"(Enter some comments here.)";
self.textViewComments.textValue = @"Ooooh, hello there";

或者，您可以设置文本值，然后调用checkIfNeedToDisplayPlaceholder。

self.textViewComments.text = @"Ooooh, hello there";
[self.textViewComments checkIfNeedToDisplayPlaceholder];

我喜欢这样的解决方案，因为它们“填补了”苹果提供给我们的东西和我们(作为开发者)在应用程序中实际需要的东西之间的空白。只需编写一次此代码，将其添加到“helper”.m/.h文件库中，随着时间的推移，SDK实际上开始变得不那么令人沮丧。

(我写了一个类似的帮助添加一个“清除”按钮到我的UITextViews，另一个烦人的东西存在于UITextField但不在UITextView…)
