add button inside a text view

I have a text view in which i want a button for camera. In my application i want that user type some text then he/she want to attach a photo or video. I have done that but the camera button i want inside the text view. when i try to add a button as subview that button scrolled with the text but i want button fixed and another problem is that the text comes in button area not visible so i want that the cursor will not go in that area which is covered by button.

UIButton *myButton  =   [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
myButton.frame      =   CGRectMake(0, 0, 50.0, 30.0);

[editButton addTarget:self action:@selector(editPressed:)forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
myButton.backgroundColor=[UIColor blueColor];
[txtView addSubview:myButton];

  • Try this .It will definitely work for you and will solve your issue

  • Write below code in ViewDidLoad Method.

    .

-(void)textResizeForButton{

    CGRect buttonFrame = self.button.frame;
    UIBezierPath *exclusivePath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRect:buttonFrame];
    self.textView.textContainer.exclusionPaths = @[exclusivePath];

}

Add it on self.view not on UITextField so it won't be scrolled anywhere. Just get the CGrect right.

For offsetting the text on the right to fit UIButton try this:

    UIView *rightMarginView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, leftMargin, txtField.frame.size.height)];
    rightMarginView.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
    [txtField setRightView:rightMarginView];
    txtField.rightViewMode = UITextFieldViewModeAlways;
