这里有一个更简单的解决方案，它的行为完全像UITextField的占位符，但不需要绘制自定义视图，或辞职第一响应器。

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

    if (textView.text.length == 0){
        textView.textColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
        textView.text = placeholderText;
        [textView setSelectedRange:NSMakeRange(0, 0)];
        isPlaceholder = YES;

    } else if (isPlaceholder && ![textView.text isEqualToString:placeholderText]) {
        textView.text = [textView.text substringToIndex:1];
        textView.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
        isPlaceholder = NO;
    }

}

(else if语句中的第二个检查是针对没有输入任何内容且用户按下退格键的情况)

只需要将你的类设置为UITextViewDelegate。在viewDidLoad中，你应该这样初始化

- (void) viewDidLoad{
    // initialize placeholder text
    placeholderText = @"some placeholder";
    isPlaceholder = YES;
    self.someTextView.text = placeholderText;
    self.someTextView.textColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
    [self.someTextView setSelectedRange:NSMakeRange(0, 0)];

    // assign UITextViewDelegate
    self.someTextView.delegate = self;
}

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()
}

使用

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;
   }
}

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

嗨，你可以使用IQTextView可用的IQKeyboard管理器，这是简单的使用和集成只是设置类你的textview到IQTextView，你可以使用它的属性设置占位符标签与你想要的颜色。 您可以从IQKeyboardManager下载该库

或者你也可以从cocoapods上安装。
