Placeholder in UITextView

Easy way, just create placeholder text in UITextView by using the following UITextViewDelegate methods:

• (void)textViewDidBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView
  {
  if ([textView.text isEqualToString:@“placeholder text here…“]) {

   textView.text = @"";
   textView.textColor = [UIColor blackColor]; //optional
  

  }
  [textView becomeFirstResponder];
  }

• (void)textViewDidEndEditing:(UITextView *)textView
  {
  if ([textView.text isEqualToString:@““]) {

  textView.text = @"placeholder text here...";
  textView.textColor = [UIColor lightTextColor]; //optional
  

  }
  [textView resignFirstResponder];
  }
  just remember to set myUITextView with the exact text on creation e.g.

UITextView *myUITextView = [[UITextView alloc] init];
myUITextView.delegate = self;
myUITextView.text = @“placeholder text here…“;
myUITextView.textColor = [UIColor lightTextColor]; //optional
and make the parent class a UITextView delegate before including these methods e.g.

@interface MyClass ()
@end
