How do I add tab stops to an NSAttributedString and display in a UITextView

Question

I\'m creating an iOS app, and I would like to display an attributed string with specific tab stops specified in a UITextView. I would also like to draw them directly into U

Answer 1

This is the Swift version that worked for me:

    let tablInterval: CGFloat = 85.0
    let paragraphStyle = NSMutableParagraphStyle()
    let terms = NSTextTab.columnTerminatorsForLocale(NSLocale.currentLocale())
    let tabStop0 = NSTextTab(textAlignment: .Right, location: 0, options: [NSTabColumnTerminatorsAttributeName:terms])
    let tabStop1 = NSTextTab(textAlignment: .Right, location: tablInterval, options: [NSTabColumnTerminatorsAttributeName:terms])
    let tabStop2 = NSTextTab(textAlignment: .Right, location: tablInterval*2, options: [NSTabColumnTerminatorsAttributeName:terms])
    let tabStop3 = NSTextTab(textAlignment: .Right, location: tablInterval*3, options: [NSTabColumnTerminatorsAttributeName:terms])
    paragraphStyle.addTabStop(tabStop0)
    paragraphStyle.addTabStop(tabStop1)
    paragraphStyle.addTabStop(tabStop2)
    paragraphStyle.addTabStop(tabStop3)

    let attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string:text)
    attributedString.addAttribute(NSParagraphStyleAttributeName, value:paragraphStyle, range:rangeAll)
