Is there away to change the postion where text in UITextView displayed. for example, i need the text to appear near the bottom of the UITextView.
I Don't know surly that i am right or not ??? but you need to use the contentOffset property of the UITextView class to accomplish this
For get more information refer this documenttation.
why not using an other view and placing the UITextView on top of that? so you can decide where to place it.
Maybe change the bounds, for the text to display at the bottom :)

I have a UITextView and I need to show the autocorrection words suggested by apple at the top. Right now they are coming at the bottom and are hiding behind the editor. Any suggestions?
Use this for the predictive text
[myTextField setAutocorrectionType:UITextAutocorrectionTypeYes];
I am trying to put a background image into a text-field (it's just a search icon). And it is tiling the image in the text field. Is it possible to turn off the repeating of the image? i don't see anything like that, i'm seeing padding and position for background images but nothing to turn off the tiling of the image. is this not possible in pixate yet?
thanks!
You should be able to set background-size to the size of your text-field so it won't have anything to repeat.
I battled this same problem, and in the end, I found I got what I wanted by using multiple objects. Even if you get the search icon to work right, you're probably going to notice the UITextField doesn't pad the text away from the icon.
Anyway, here's how I ended up doing it so that I had full control over the style.
So you can put your search icon in the UIImageView and then define your text field's style (border, background color, etc.) with the UIView. The UITextField ends up being plain white/transparent, and positioned so that its text doesn't overrun the search icon.
I hope that helps.
Could somebody explain how to make a UITextField within a UITableView cell expand vertically. Right now when I add text to the textfield it expands infinitely but in the horizontal direction. Is there a way to have the textfield use a fixed width and expand vertically? If there is could somebody provide sample code for this kind of functionality?
The answer would be to use a UITextView, not a UITextField.
Check this out - I created a tool that makes a uiview which holds a clickable/expandable uitextview. You can use this, set the size of the containing cell accordingly, and overwrite the functions that change height programmatically.
It's not exactly what you wanted, but it might help!

I've looked at similarly titled questions, such as :
UITextView disabling text selection
but that wasn't quite what I was trying to achieve.
My app has a UITextView that only requires vertical scrolling. When holding down a touch, the cursor obviously appears at the point of the touch. However, when I change the text of the view, the cursor is always put at the end of the UITextView, which of course scrolls my text all the way to the bottom. I've tried setting the selected range, but even with the editable set to NO, this causes the keyboard to popup. I want my view to be able to display my text and vertically scroll, and to be able to reset its scroll position when I change the text. If I could achieve this and not be able to select, copy, paste, edit, etc. I would be perfectly content.
The last time I tried to deal with this I gave up and ended up using a UILabel, however I need to be able to scroll this time around. Would I be better off putting a UILabel inside a scroll view as a work around? Or perhaps releasing the textView would work, but since I have it hooked as a referencing outlet in IB, I imagine I would have to recreate it programmatically, and I'd like to avoid something so hacky if I can.
I'm at my whit's end with something I've always felt should be simple, so thanks in advance for any and all help!
I am building an app where I need to add buttons to a UITextView dynamically on the basis of text entered by the user in the same UITextView.
The look I want to give is something like To field in message app of iPhone
I am unsable to figure out the way to do the needful.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!
I found out the solution to my problem and no one has yet answered here so will reply to my own question.
I tried to keep a UITextView on a UIScrollView and then kept changing the width of the UItectView and added button to the left of it depending on the text added in the the textView. This will help in giving an appearance similar to that of a textfield with dynamic addition of UIButton.
Hope this wolrs for all those having the similar problem.
