is there any way to do JUSTIFY the text in a UITextView in iOS

Question

Is there any way to 'justify' the text in a UITextView in an iOS app?

Not out-of-the-box. See duplicate post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/402339/getting-justified-text-in-uitextfield. — petert, Jul 26 '11 at 07:57

No that's not possible in a UITextView. There are two ways to achieve this.

Write a method that adusts the text with spaces in a way that it fits the textview exactely
Use CATextLayer. That class has a property to set the alignment to Justifiy.

I hope this helps you out.

Like the possible use of CATextLayer - I'll try this myself! +1 – petert Jul 26 '11 at 08:07
Thanks. I did it myself. But if the layer has not a big width, the result looks ugly... – Sandro Meier Jul 26 '11 at 08:25
I followed this approach and did it view `UILabel` and `drawRect:` http://furbo.org/2008/10/07/fancy-uilabels/ – petert Jul 26 '11 at 11:37
