Swift : How to center cell text

Question

I have a problem with my swift APP.

In my TableViewCell function i wrote

let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("Cell", forIndexPath:indexPath) as MyCell
cell.setMyCell(self.data[0]["content"]!)

if i wrote

cell.textAlignment red line appear and say "textAlignment in unavailable: API deprecated"

presumably you have a label on your cell and you want to align the text in the label, not the whole cell... — Wain, May 17 '16 at 09:21
Did you read the documentation on `textAligment` for `UITableViewCell`: "Deprecation Statement Instead set the text alignment of the UILabel objects assigned to the textLabel and detailTextLabel properties." Apply the alignement to the wanted `UILabel`, not the cell. — Larme, May 17 '16 at 09:30
@AntonelloRossi: Often, when a method is deprecated, the doc says what new method to use if available. If not, there are often on SO questions about the issue. — Larme, May 17 '16 at 15:02

The correct answer for people using Swift 4 would be:

cell.textLabel?.textAlignment = .center

You have to center your image first, then add contraints to your label after centered it in your image – Thomas May 25 '16 at 15:16
The Answer above didn't work for me. Is there another way to solve the problem? – Exitare Jun 20 '18 at 21:15

It will work only when your UITableViewCell Style is default

Swift 4.1

cell = UITableViewCell(style: UITableViewCellStyle.default, reuseIdentifier: "DefaultCell")
cell.textLabel?.textAlignment = .center

I assume you are using a label on your cell? Make sure the label is centered in the cell and give it a width that is big enough for your needs. Then you can use two methods, you can align the label using the code:

label.textAlignment = .Center

or you can change this using the interface builder:

Hope this helps!
