iPhone UITextView leaves room for 2 lines at the bottom

Question

Hi Guys,

When i start typing text in a default textView in my viewcontroller, its not going to the bottom of the textfield. It leaves room for 2 more lines of text and then starts scrolling. I want it to start scrolling when i start going beyond the last line.

I tried everything, and i dont know what i can do? Anyone any ideas?

Answer 1

as UITextView is a subclass of UIScrollView, look at UIScrollVIew's properties, like contentInset and others to see if they might be creating a gap between your frame/bounds and the content inside.

Answer 2

Just adding to what mahboudz already said. Here's some sample code that can be adjusted to get what you need:

    UIEdgeInsets contentInset = notes.contentInset;
    contentInset.bottom = 10.0;
    notes.contentInset = contentInset;

Where notes in this example is the UITextView.

Answer 3

In addition to what mahboudz and Aaron said, I can confirm that UITextView does add some contentInset to the bottom, so I put the following code inside textView:shouldChangeTextInRange:replacementText: of UITextViewDelegate

textView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 5, 0);
