Swift add icon/image in UITextField

Question

I would like to add icon/image in UITextField. The icon/image should be left to placeholder.

I tried this:

var imageView = UIImageView();
var image = UIImage(named: "email.png");
imageView.image = image;
emailField.leftView = imageView;

Thanks.

Answer 1

Try adding emailField.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewMode.Always

(Default leftViewMode is Never)

Updated Answer for Swift 4

emailField.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewMode.always

emailField.leftViewMode = .always
