How to have text displayed like a text view on watchOS
I am making an Apple Watch app for the first time.
I noticed that there was no option for a text view. How would I get the text to be displayed as it would in a text view? I want the string to be separated into lines so that it fits, and I want to be able to scroll if the input is long enough.
Is there a way to achieve this without a text view (or am I just not seeing the option for a text view)?
Solution
You can accomplish this by using a WKInterfaceLabel.
By setting its numberOfLines to 0, and height to "Size to Fit Content," the label text will scroll when it is large enough to exceed the screen size.
