Make link in UILabel.attributedText *not* blue and *not* underlined

Question

I want some words within my OHAttributedLabel to be links, but I want them to be colors other than blue and I don\'t want the underline.

This is giving me a blue lin

Answer 1

For Swift 3 following way worked out for me using TTTAttributedLabel:

1) Add a label on the storyboard and define its class to be TTTAttributedLabel

2) In code define @IBOutlet var termsLabel: TTTAttributedLabel!

3) Then in ViewDidLoad write these lines

termsLabel.attributedText = NSAttributedString(string: "By using this app you agree to the Privacy Policy & Terms & Conditions.")
guard let labelString = termsLabel.attributedText else {
            return
        }
        guard let privacyRange = labelString.string.range(of: "Privacy Policy") else {
            return
        }
        guard let termsConditionRange = labelString.string.range(of: "Terms & Conditions") else {
            return
        }

        let privacyNSRange: NSRange = labelString.string.nsRange(from: privacyRange)
        let termsNSRange: NSRange = labelString.string.nsRange(from: termsConditionRange)

        termsLabel.addLink(to: URL(string: "privacy"), with: privacyNSRange)
        termsLabel.addLink(to: URL(string: "terms"), with: termsNSRange)

        termsLabel.delegate = self
        let attributedText = NSMutableAttributedString(attributedString: termsLabel.attributedText!)
        attributedText.addAttributes([NSFontAttributeName : UIFont(name: "Roboto-Medium", size: 12)!], range: termsNSRange)
        attributedText.addAttributes([NSFontAttributeName : UIFont(name: "Roboto-Medium", size: 12)!], range: privacyNSRange)
        attributedText.addAttributes([kCTForegroundColorAttributeName as String: UIColor.orange], range: termsNSRange)
        attributedText.addAttributes([kCTForegroundColorAttributeName as String: UIColor.green], range: privacyNSRange)
        attributedText.addAttributes([NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName: NSUnderlineStyle.styleNone.rawValue], range: termsNSRange)
        attributedText.addAttributes([NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName: NSUnderlineStyle.styleNone.rawValue], range: privacyNSRange)
        termsLabel.attributedText = attributedText

It would look like this

4) Finally write the delegate function of TTTAttributedLabel so that you can open links on tap

public func attributedLabel(_ label: TTTAttributedLabel!, didSelectLinkWith url: URL!) {
    switch url.absoluteString  {
    case "privacy":
        SafariBrowser.open("http://google.com", presentingViewController: self)
    case "terms":
        SafariBrowser.open("http://google.com", presentingViewController: self)
    default:
        break
    }
}

Update for Swift 4.2

For Swift 4.2, there are some changes in step 3, all other steps would remain same as above:

3) In ViewDidLoad write these lines

termsLabel.attributedText = NSAttributedString(string: "By using this app you agree to the Privacy Policy & Terms & Conditions.")
guard let labelString = termsLabel.attributedText else {
            return
        }
        guard let privacyRange = labelString.string.range(of: "Privacy Policy") else {
            return
        }
        guard let termsConditionRange = labelString.string.range(of: "Terms & Conditions") else {
            return
        }

        let privacyNSRange: NSRange = labelString.string.nsRange(from: privacyRange)
        let termsNSRange: NSRange = labelString.string.nsRange(from: termsConditionRange)

        termsLabel.addLink(to: URL(string: "privacy"), with: privacyNSRange)
        termsLabel.addLink(to: URL(string: "terms"), with: termsNSRange)

        termsLabel.delegate = self
        let attributedText = NSMutableAttributedString(attributedString: termsLabel.attributedText!)
        attributedText.addAttributes([NSAttributedString.Key.font : UIFont(name: "Roboto-Regular", size: 12)!], range: termsNSRange)
        attributedText.addAttributes([NSAttributedString.Key.font : UIFont(name: "Roboto-Regular", size: 12)!], range: privacyNSRange)
        attributedText.addAttributes([kCTForegroundColorAttributeName as NSAttributedString.Key : UIColor.orange], range: termsNSRange)
        attributedText.addAttributes([kCTForegroundColorAttributeName as NSAttributedString.Key : UIColor.green], range: privacyNSRange)
    attributedText.addAttributes([NSAttributedString.Key.underlineStyle: 0], range: termsNSRange)
        attributedText.addAttributes([NSAttributedString.Key.underlineStyle: 0], range: privacyNSRange)
