nsattributedstring

New to Swift 2.0; trying to learn it, interested in animation and tried to write some code to display a message on screen one character at a time. I wrote this, it works, but I cannot help but could I not do something with CALayers perhaps and/or alpha values? Or some animate gizmo, something more swift worthy; this feels & looks kinda clunky, sort 1977 really. import UIKit class ViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib. let supertext = "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away

I'm trying to make the placeholders in my textfields italic, and since my app is targeting iOS 6.0 or newer, decided to use attributedPlaceholder property instead of rolling something more custom. The code goes as follows: NSString *plString = @"optional"; NSAttributedString *placeholder = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:plString attributes:@{NSFontAttributeName : [UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue-LightItalic" size:15]}]; for (UITextField *t in myTextfields){ t.placeholder = plString; t.attributedPlaceholder = placeholder; } Yet the styling of the placeholder still is not italic,

How to convert values of type '[String : AnyObject]?' to expected argument type '[NSAttributedStringKey : Any]?' ? open class func drawText(context: CGContext, text: String, point: CGPoint, align: NSTextAlignment, attributes: [String : AnyObject]?) { var point = point if align == .center { point.x -= text.size(withAttributes: attributes).width / 2.0 } else if align == .right { point.x -= text.size(withAttributes: attributes).width } NSUIGraphicsPushContext(context) (text as NSString).draw(at: point, withAttributes: attributes) NSUIGraphicsPopContext() } This is a new feature of Swift 4. All

I want to create an attributed string, then store it in NSUserDefaults , and then access it again and assign the attributed string to textView.attributedText . How do I go about this? Thanks in advance. I don't know a lot of objective c, so I could not refer to this answer You have to convert your NSMutableAttributedString into NSData then you store it in NSUserDefaults . // Convert into NSData let data = NSKeyedArchiver.archivedDataWithRootObject(distanceMutableAttributedString) NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setObject(data, forKey: "yourStringIntoData") // Convert your NSData to

I had a need to display HTML text inside my iOS app. I have decided I will use the built-in method on NSAttributedString , initWithData:options:documentAttributes:error: . The actual parsing works excellently, however, I seem to have come across a very odd bug, that only seems to manifest itself if I have the debugger attached. The first time that this method is called, it takes barely under 1 second to run on my iPhone 5S running iOS 7.0.4, and about 1.5 seconds on an iPod Touch 5th generation. The quirk also manifests itself on the simulator, but it is significantly less noticeable, due to

I have tried everything but cannot seem to center this text. Can someone please tell me where the error is. NSMutableParagraphStyle *paragraphStyle = NSMutableParagraphStyle.new; paragraphStyle.alignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter; label.attributedText = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:cell.EventTitle.text attributes:@{NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor whiteColor],NSParagraphStyleAttributeName:paragraphStyle,NSBaselineOffsetAttributeName : @0,NSFontAttributeName : [UIFont fontWithName:@"BrandonGrotesque-Black" size:34]}]; Shrawan In Swift-4 let paragraph =

So I have an NSAttributedString I want to insert a bullet point at the beginning of a portion of text. How can I do this? How do I create a CTPAragraphStyle that creates this bullet point when I display the text? Edit: Should be available on iOS The easy bit: [mutableAttributedString insertAttributedString: @"•\t" atIndex:0]; The hard bit. Something along the following lines. (This is extracted from a bigger project, but it may give you a decent start.) NSMutableAttributedString * string = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"•\texample bullet fill out the text to check what

I need to search some strings and set some attributes prior to merging the strings, so having NSStrings -> Concatenate them -> Make NSAttributedString is not an option, is there any way to concatenate attributedString to another attributedString? I'd recommend you use a single mutable attributed string a @Linuxios suggested, and here's another example of that: NSMutableAttributedString *mutableAttString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] init]; NSString *plainString = // ... NSDictionary *attributes = // ... a dictionary with your attributes. NSAttributedString *newAttString = [
