UITextViews in a UITableView link detection bug in iOS 7

Question

I have custom UITableViewCells that contain a UITextView. I have link detection in the UITextView turned on in Interface Builder. When I first load the table view, everythin

Answer 1

This one works reliably for me:

// fix url detection bug
cell.textView.dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypeNone;
cell.textView.dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypeLink;

Answer 2

Changing the Tint color to other color actually works. However if selectable enable the tint will also be the same color.

Answer 3

I also face this problem and I found out to solve this is to set textview properties in the following order,

[textview setDataDetectorTypes:UIDataDetectorTypeNone ];
textView.editable = NO;
[textView setDataDetectorTypes:UIDataDetectorTypeLink];
textView.text=@"The text you need to show with link";

Hope this help you.....

Answer 4

You can fix this issue by using NSAttributedString.

cell.textview.attributedText = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:message.message];

Answer 5

Several suggestions here and through links provided did not help me with this bug.

I tried setting attributed text, setting text to nil, setting text to @"".

In the end forcing the text view in an out of editable mode did the trick. In prepare for reuse

- (void)prepareForReuse
{
  ...
    textView.editable = YES;
    textView.editable = NO;
  ...
}

Answer 6

textView.text = nil;
textView.attributedText = nil;

textView.attributedText = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"your new string"];
