Is it possible to change color of single word in UITextView and UITextField ?
If i have typed a word with a symbol infront (eg: @word) , can it's color be changed ?
Yes you need to use NSAttributedString
for that, find the RunningAppHere.
Scan through the word and find the range of your word and change its color.
EDIT:
- (IBAction)colorWord:(id)sender {
NSMutableAttributedString * string = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc]initWithString:self.text.text];
NSArray *words=[self.text.text componentsSeparatedByString:@" "];
for (NSString *word in words) {
if ([word hasPrefix:@"@"]) {
NSRange range=[self.text.text rangeOfString:word];
[string addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:[UIColor redColor] range:range];
}
}
[self.text setAttributedText:string];
}
