What are good alternatives to UITextAlignmentCenter in iOS 6?

Question

UITextAlignmentCenter seems to be deprecated in iOS 6. What are my alternatives?

Answer 1

For IOS 6 you should use NSTextAlignmentCenter instead of UITextAlignmentCenter:

button.titleLabel.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

Answer 2

You should use NSTextAlignmentCenter instead according to Apple's documentation.

You should also use NSTextAlignmentLeft and NSTextAlignmentRight instead of UITextAlignmentLeft and UITextAlignmentRight, respectively.

Answer 3

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

UILabel* label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 50, 30)];
label.text = @"There is no spoon";
label.textAlignment = ALIGN_CENTER;
[self addSubview:label];

Answer 4

In Swift: NSTextAlignment.Center

Answer 5

You can do

newLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;

instead of

newLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;

hope it helps.
