Center UIPickerView Text

Question

So I have a uipickerview with rows that only contain the number 0-24 and it looks a bit silly since the numbers are left aligned leaving a huge gap on the right of the picke

Answer 1

A little easier now in iOS 6... There's a new method you can implement to return an attributed string... And you can define alignment in attributed strings.

- (NSAttributedString *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView attributedTitleForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component {
    NSString *text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"R%d C%d", row, component];
    NSMutableAttributedString *as = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:text];
    NSMutableParagraphStyle *mutParaStyle=[[NSMutableParagraphStyle alloc] init];
    mutParaStyle.alignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
    [as addAttribute:NSParagraphStyleAttributeName value:mutParaStyle range:NSMakeRange(0,[text length])];
    return as;
}
