Adding left margin to UITextView

Question

I\'m trying to add a left margin to a UITextView.

I\'ve tried setting the property contentInset, see below:

UITextView *textView = [[UITextView alloc] in         


        

Answer 1

Remember that for iOS 7 there a special property called

textContainerInset The inset of the text container's layout area within the text view's content area.

@property(nonatomic, assign) UIEdgeInsets textContainerInset

This property provides text margins for text laid out in the text view.

Availability Available in iOS 7.0 and later. Declared In UITextView.h

in iOS 6 the contentInset is doing the job. I personally encountered this problem. Everything ended up with:

if (isIOS7()) {
    textView.textContainerInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 10, 0, 10);
} else {
    textView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 10, 0, 10);
}
