Create a UIbutton and UIImageview in UITextView

Question

I have a UITextview in my Screen,I created textview in drag and drop on screen, now i want to add button to last (end of the text in text view )of the textview then how can i do that ??

i have been try

[super viewDidLoad];
 SelectInvestiList = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:[InvestiList count]]; 


AppDelegate *appDeleg = (AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate];

textViewInvest.text=nil;

UIButton*button=[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
[button setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 30, 30)];
[button setTitle:@"test" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[textViewInvest addSubview:button];

NSMutableString *prev=[[NSMutableString alloc] init];
if (appDeleg.chiefCompText != nil) {
    prev=(NSMutableString *) textViewInvest.text;
    [prev appendString:(NSMutableString *) appDeleg.chiefCompText];
    textViewInvest.text=[prev capitalizedString];

}

if (appDeleg.vitalText != nil) {
    prev=(NSMutableString *)textViewInvest.text;
    [prev appendString:(NSMutableString *) appDeleg.vitalText];
    textViewInvest.text=[prev capitalizedString];

}

but that not work ..

It looks that you didn't properly _connect_ `IBOutlet` of view's owner (property `textViewInvest`) to your `UITextView`. — Rok Jarc, Apr 11 '12 at 11:58

enter image description here

    UIButton *btn = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
        [btn setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 10, 20)];
        [btn setTitle:@"Ram" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
        //[self.view addSubview:btn];
        [textview addSubview:btn];
set the button frame according to your text in textview.

Iam not sure whether you are using Interface builder.

U can try this

UIButton *myButton  =   [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
myButton.frame      =   CGRectMake(0.0, 100.0, 50.0, 30.0);
[yourTextView addSubview:myButton];

@ravi: This code is correct. I am not sure what you are doing wrong – Parth Bhatt Apr 11 '12 at 12:13
@ravi: Don't use `textViewInvest.text=nil;` instead do `textViewInvest.text=@"";` in your code. – Parth Bhatt Apr 11 '12 at 12:14
@ParthBhatt ya it's work now but can u tell me that how i can find end of the text pixel in Textview ??if text length is not fix ?? bcoz i cant to add button at end of text – ravi Apr 11 '12 at 12:17

hi ravi, yourTextView.contentSize.height will give you the height of the text/content in your textview. – mChopsey Apr 11 '12 at 12:23

I'm guessing you should mention the type of button while you are adding through code. I just got it working with this:

UIButton*button=[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
[button setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 30, 30)];
[button setTitle:@"test" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[yourTextView addSubview:button];

@ravi, that's unusual, i tested it just before posting those lines. I hope you are putting these lines of code in `viewDidLoad` ? – iNoob Apr 11 '12 at 11:31
@ravi, yes just went through it, is the `textViewInvest` behaving like it should ? Does changing the .text of textView change the text ? Only thing i can think of is that `textViewInvest` is not connected to the IB. And sometimes using code before `[super viewDidLoad];` helps. Just check if it's connected properly. – iNoob Apr 11 '12 at 11:46

Try this code. Here iam creating textview also. This worked fine for me.

UITextView *yourTextView = [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 320.0, 400.0)];
yourTextView.backgroundColor    =   [UIColor grayColor];
[self.view addSubview:yourTextView];

UIButton *myButton  =   [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
myButton.frame      =   CGRectMake(0.0, 100.0, 50.0, 30.0);
[myButton setTitle:@"GO" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[yourTextView addSubview:myButton];
