你可以在textview上设置一个标签。

MyUITextView.h

@interface MyUITextView : UITextView {
    UILabel* _placeholderLabel;
}

@property(nonatomic, assign)NSString *placeholder;

MyUITextView.m

@implementation MyUITextView

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame {
    if (self = [super initWithFrame:frame]) {
        // Create placeholder
        viewFrame = CGRectMake(0, 0, frame.size.width, 15);
        _placeholderLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:viewFrame];
        _placeholderLabel.textColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
        [self addSubview:_placeholderLabel];

        // Add text changed notification 
        [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(textChanged:) name:UITextViewTextDidChangeNotification object:nil];
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)setPlaceholder:(NSString *)placeholder {
    _placeholderLabel.text = placeholder;
}

- (NSString*)placeholder {
    return _placeholderLabel.text;
}

#pragma mark UITextViewTextDidChangeNotification

- (void)textChanged:(NSNotification *)notification {
    _placeholderLabel.hidden = ([self.text lenght] == 0);
}

@end

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。

我找到了自己的解决方案

- (void)textViewDidBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView
{
    if ([textView.text isEqualToString:PLACEHOLDER_TEXT])
    {
        textView.textColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^
                       {
                           textView.selectedRange = NSMakeRange(0, 0);
                       });
    }
    else
    {
        textView.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    }

    [textView becomeFirstResponder];
}

- (void)textViewDidEndEditing:(UITextView *)textView
{
    if ([textView.text isEqualToString:@""])
    {
        textView.text = PLACEHOLDER_TEXT;
        textView.textColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
    }

    [textView resignFirstResponder];
}

- (BOOL)textView:(UITextView *)textView
shouldChangeTextInRange:(NSRange)range
 replacementText:(NSString *)text
{
    if (range.location == 0 && range.length == [[textView text] length] && [text isEqualToString:@""])
    {
        textView.text = PLACEHOLDER_TEXT;
        textView.textColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];

        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^
                       {
                           textView.selectedRange = NSMakeRange(0, 0);
                       });

        return NO;
    }

    if ([textView.text isEqualToString:PLACEHOLDER_TEXT])
    {
        textView.text = @"";
        textView.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    }

    return YES;
}

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

在看完所有答案后，我意识到我需要一些简单的，同时可重用的东西，这样我就可以在我的项目中为所有uitextview添加相同的功能。最后我得到了以下代码:

extension UITextView {

// MARK: TextView PlaceHolderLabel Setup

func createPlaceHolderLabel(with text: String) {
    let lbl = UILabel()
    self.addSubview(lbl)

// Add your constraints here

    lbl.text = text
    lbl.textColor = .lightGray
}

// My Textview contains only one UILabel, and for my use case the below code works, tweak it according to your use case

// Lastly two methods to toggle between show and hide the placeholder label

func hidePlaceHolderLabel() {
    guard let lbl = self.subviews.first(where: { $0 is UILabel }) else { return }
    lbl.isHidden = true
}

func showPlaceHolderLabel() {
    guard let lbl = self.subviews.first(where: { $0 is UILabel }) else { return }
    lbl.isHidden = false
}

}

当UILabel作为子视图添加到UITextView时，textView游标位置和UILabel位置将不匹配，因此在占位符文本之前留下一个空间

class ViewController: UIViewController, UITextViewDelegate {
    var textView: UITextView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    view.addSubview(textView)
    // Also setup textView constraints as per your need
    // Add placeholder to your textView
    // Leave one space before placeholder string
    textView.createPlaceHolderLabel(with: " Address")
    textView.delegate = self
}

然后在textViewdidChange方法中添加以下代码

func textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) {
    if textView.text.isEmpty {
        textView.showPlaceHolderLabel()
    } else {
        textView.hidePlaceHolderLabel()
    }
}

它可以在所有uitextview中重用。

在尝试了一些建议的方法后，我写了一个更清晰的实现，并将其发布到Github上。拉请求和问题是欢迎的。

与其他方法相比，这里提出了一些关键的改进:

不会在drawRect:中分配一个UILabel。(请不要这样做。) 不将文本视图的当前文本与所需的占位符进行比较以交换颜色。 当听写处于活动状态时隐藏占位符(如UITextField)。
