I need to add a button at the end of the text to trigger an alert. The text can be in several lines How can I do that?
Based on response https://stackoverflow.com/a/62150640/13642906
let fullString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "")
let imageAttachment = NSTextAttachment()
imageAttachment.image = UIImage(named: "awesomeIcon.png")
let imageString = NSAttributedString(attachment: imageAttachment)
fullString.append(NSAttributedString(string: " ", attributes: nil))
fullString.append(imageString)
fullString.append(NSAttributedString(string: " ", attributes: nil))
self.text.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
let tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer.init(target: self, action: #selector(showBlurbMessage(tapGesture:)))
self.text.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture!)
in showBlurbMessage
@objc func showBlurbMessage(tapGesture: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
let location = (text.text?.count ?? 0)
if tapGesture.didTapAttributedTextInLabel(label: self.text, inRange: NSRange(location: location - 2, length: 1)) {
let alert = UIAlertController.createOkAlert(WithTitle: "", message: assessment.blurbDescription, okTitle: "Close")
self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
and extension for UITapGestureRecognizer
extension UITapGestureRecognizer {
func didTapAttributedTextInLabel(label: UILabel, inRange targetRange: NSRange) -> Bool {
// Create instances of NSLayoutManager, NSTextContainer and NSTextStorage
let layoutManager = NSLayoutManager()
let textContainer = NSTextContainer(size: CGSize.zero)
let textStorage = NSTextStorage(attributedString: label.attributedText!)
// Configure layoutManager and textStorage
layoutManager.addTextContainer(textContainer)
textStorage.addLayoutManager(layoutManager)
// Configure textContainer
textContainer.lineFragmentPadding = 0.0 // 0.0 - left, 0.5 - center, 1 - right
textContainer.lineBreakMode = label.lineBreakMode
textContainer.maximumNumberOfLines = label.numberOfLines
let labelSize = label.bounds.size
textContainer.size = labelSize
// Find the tapped character location and compare it to the specified range
let locationOfTouchInLabel = self.location(in: label)
let textBoundingBox = layoutManager.usedRect(for: textContainer)
let textContainerOffset = CGPoint(
x: (labelSize.width - textBoundingBox.size.width) * 0.5 - textBoundingBox.origin.x,
y: (labelSize.height - textBoundingBox.size.height) * 0.5 - textBoundingBox.origin.y
)
let locationOfTouchInTextContainer = CGPoint(
x: locationOfTouchInLabel.x - textContainerOffset.x,
y: locationOfTouchInLabel.y - textContainerOffset.y
)
let indexOfCharacter = layoutManager.characterIndex(for: locationOfTouchInTextContainer, in: textContainer, fractionOfDistanceBetweenInsertionPoints: nil)
return NSLocationInRange(indexOfCharacter, targetRange)
}
}
