Formatting alignment of uipickerview
I have searched and cannot find anything that can help me format the alignment of each row in my pickerview.
Currently it looks like this:
What I would like to do is right justify the left £ row and left justify the right pence row so that there is no gap and the current value would be £25.31 instead or the large gap that exists now.
I found some code that formats backgrounds and font size but not alignment.
Any help or links would be appreciated.
This is my full ViewController code...

Solution
This should get you started:
func pickerView(pickerView: UIPickerView, viewForRow row: Int, forComponent component: Int, reusingView view: UIView!) -> UIView {
let pickerLabel = UILabel()
let titleData = pickerData[row]
let myTitle = NSAttributedString(string: titleData, attributes: [NSFontAttributeName:UIFont(name: "Georgia", size: 26.0)!,NSForegroundColorAttributeName:UIColor.blackColor()])
pickerLabel.attributedText = myTitle
return pickerLabel
}
and this:
func pickerView(pickerView: UIPickerView, attributedTitleForRow row: Int, forComponent component: Int) -> NSAttributedString? {
let titleData = pickerData[row]
var myTitle = NSAttributedString(string: titleData, attributes: [NSFontAttributeName:UIFont(name: "Georgia", size: 15.0)!,NSForegroundColorAttributeName:UIColor.blueColor()])
return myTitle
}
For the Attributed string, this is where you can modified the text attributes to fit what you want, you can set up something like this, you'll have to figure out how to place the Attributed string, but it's very simple using the second method above:
var myString1 = NSMutableAttributedString(string:"$45.45")
let myString1Font1 = UIFont(name:"AvenirNext-Regular", size:24.0)
let myString1Color1 = UIColor(red: 0.292745, green: 0.461693, blue: 0.998524, alpha: 1.000000)
let originalNSString = myString1.string as NSString
let myString1Range1 = originalNSString.rangeOfString("$45.45")
var myString1ParaStyle1 = NSMutableParagraphStyle()
myString1ParaStyle1.alignment = NSTextAlignment.Right
myString1ParaStyle1.baseWritingDirection = NSWritingDirection.Natural
myString1ParaStyle1.defaultTabInterval = 0
myString1ParaStyle1.firstLineHeadIndent = 0
myString1ParaStyle1.headIndent = 0
myString1ParaStyle1.hyphenationFactor = 0
myString1ParaStyle1.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakMode.ByWordWrapping
myString1ParaStyle1.lineHeightMultiple = 0
myString1ParaStyle1.lineSpacing = 0
myString1ParaStyle1.maximumLineHeight = 0
myString1ParaStyle1.minimumLineHeight = 0
myString1ParaStyle1.paragraphSpacing = 0
myString1ParaStyle1.paragraphSpacingBefore = 0
myString1ParaStyle1.tailIndent = 0
myString1.addAttribute(NSUnderlineColorAttributeName, value:myString1Color1, range:myString1Range1)
myString1.addAttribute(NSParagraphStyleAttributeName, value:myString1ParaStyle1, range:myString1Range1)
myString1.addAttribute(NSFontAttributeName, value:myString1Font1!, range:myString1Range1)
This seems to work:
func pickerView(pickerView: UIPickerView, attributedTitleForRow row: Int, forComponent component: Int) -> NSAttributedString? {
let titleData = pickerData[row]
var myString1 = NSMutableAttributedString(string:titleData)
let myString1Font1 = UIFont(name:"AvenirNext-Regular", size:24.0)
let myString1Color1 = UIColor(red: 0.292745, green: 0.461693, blue: 0.998524, alpha: 1.000000)
let originalNSString = myString1.string as NSString
let myString1Range1 = originalNSString.rangeOfString(titleData)
var myString1ParaStyle1 = NSMutableParagraphStyle()
myString1ParaStyle1.baseWritingDirection = NSWritingDirection.Natural
myString1ParaStyle1.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakMode.ByWordWrapping
myString1.addAttribute(NSUnderlineColorAttributeName, value:myString1Color1, range:myString1Range1)
myString1.addAttribute(NSParagraphStyleAttributeName, value:myString1ParaStyle1, range:myString1Range1)
myString1.addAttribute(NSFontAttributeName, value:myString1Font1!, range:myString1Range1)
if pickerView == myPickerf {
myString1ParaStyle1.alignment = NSTextAlignment.Left
} else if pickerView == myPicker {
myString1ParaStyle1.alignment = NSTextAlignment.Right
}
return myString1
}
func pickerView(pickerView: UIPickerView, viewForRow row: Int, forComponent component: Int, reusingView view: UIView!) -> UIView {
var pickerLabel = view as! UILabel!
if view == nil {
pickerLabel = UILabel()
let hue = CGFloat(row)/CGFloat(pickerData.count)
pickerLabel.backgroundColor = UIColor(hue: hue, saturation: 1.0, brightness:1.0, alpha: 1.0)
}
let titleData = pickerData[row]
var myString1 = NSMutableAttributedString(string:titleData)
let myString1Font1 = UIFont(name:"AvenirNext-Regular", size:24.0)
let myString1Color1 = UIColor(red: 0.292745, green: 0.461693, blue: 0.998524, alpha: 1.000000)
let originalNSString = myString1.string as NSString
let myString1Range1 = originalNSString.rangeOfString(titleData)
var myString1ParaStyle1 = NSMutableParagraphStyle()
myString1ParaStyle1.baseWritingDirection = NSWritingDirection.Natural
myString1ParaStyle1.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakMode.ByWordWrapping
myString1.addAttribute(NSUnderlineColorAttributeName, value:myString1Color1, range:myString1Range1)
myString1.addAttribute(NSParagraphStyleAttributeName, value:myString1ParaStyle1, range:myString1Range1)
myString1.addAttribute(NSFontAttributeName, value:myString1Font1!, range:myString1Range1)
pickerLabel!.attributedText = myString1
if pickerView == myPickerf {
myString1ParaStyle1.alignment = NSTextAlignment.Left
} else if pickerView == myPicker {
myString1ParaStyle1.alignment = NSTextAlignment.Right
}
return pickerLabel
}

You will need to check my work and make sure that when THIS is called:
let titleData = pickerData[component][row]
that it's actually pointing to the correct dictionary item which is either Pounds or Pense. I actually looked at your code, more and I see that you had pickerData[component][row] already, so I reformated and then used these for the mutableatributed string callers. see the revised code which is really your code but with the correction
