Label Alignment in iOS 6 - UITextAlignment deprecated

Question

Seems like UITextAlignmentCenter is deprecated in iOS 6.

I still use it and works well, but it gives a warning.

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

NSTextAlignmentCenter can be used in place of UITextAlignmentCenter and a list of other replacements is below:

#ifdef __IPHONE_6_0 // iOS6 and later
#   define UITextAlignmentCenter    NSTextAlignmentCenter
#   define UITextAlignmentLeft      NSTextAlignmentLeft
#   define UITextAlignmentRight     NSTextAlignmentRight
#   define UILineBreakModeTailTruncation     NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail
#   define UILineBreakModeMiddleTruncation   NSLineBreakByTruncatingMiddle
#endif

Answer 2

For Swift 5+ use:

yourLabel.textAlignment = .center

where You can set:

public enum NSTextAlignment : Int {
    case left = 0 // Visually left aligned
    case center = 1 // Visually centered
    case right = 2 // Visually right aligned
    case justified = 3 // Fully-justified. The last line in a paragraph is natural-aligned.
    case natural = 4 // Indicates the default alignment for script 
}

Answer 3

UILabel *label1 = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 150, 40)];
[label1 setText:@"Your String"];
[label1 setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[label1 setNumberOfLines:0];
[label1 sizeToFit];

//For Center Alignment
[label1 setTextAlignment:NSTextAlignmentCenter];

//For Right Alignment
[label1 setTextAlignment:NSTextAlignmentRight];

//For Left Alignment
[label1 setTextAlignment:NSTextAlignmentLeft];

// Add the label into the view

[self.view addSubview:label1];
