Center text in a UILabel

Question

How do you center the text inside a UILabel?

Answer 1

The Code is

[yourLabel setTextAlignment:UITextAlignmentCenter];

or (of course) the Obj-C 2.0 Dot-Syntax

yourLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;

---

For iOS 6 (and higher) you should use NSTextAlignmentCenter instead of UITextAlignmentCenter:

yourLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;

Source

And if you want backward compatibiliy to iOS 5 also you can do this,

#ifdef __IPHONE_6_0
# define ALIGN_CENTER NSTextAlignmentCenter
#else
# define ALIGN_CENTER UITextAlignmentCenter
#endif

Swift 3

yourLabel.textAlignment = .center
