UIAlertAction Button Text Alignment Left

Question

I want to align UIAlertAction text alignment to Left and add the icon as in image shown. I spent lot of time on google to get the solution but not found the right answer. Every body post for the alert title not for the alert action title.

Please suggest me the right way for swift.

Thanks!!

Answer 1

You can do that with bellow example code. Easy and Simple.

Swift 4

let actionSheetAlertController: UIAlertController = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: nil, preferredStyle: .actionSheet)

let cancelActionButton = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel, handler: nil)
actionSheetAlertController.addAction(cancelActionButton)


let documentsActionButton = UIAlertAction(title: "Documents", style: .default, handler: nil)
actionSheetAlertController.addAction(documentsActionButton)
documentsActionButton.setValue(#imageLiteral(resourceName: "doccument"), forKey: "image")
documentsActionButton.setValue(kCAAlignmentLeft, forKey: "titleTextAlignment")

let cameraActionButton = UIAlertAction(title: "Camera", style: .default, handler: nil)
actionSheetAlertController.addAction(cameraActionButton)
cameraActionButton.setValue(#imageLiteral(resourceName: "camera"), forKey: "image")
cameraActionButton.setValue(kCAAlignmentLeft, forKey: "titleTextAlignment")

let galleryActionButton = UIAlertAction(title: "Gallery", style: .default, handler: nil)
actionSheetAlertController.addAction(galleryActionButton)
galleryActionButton.setValue(#imageLiteral(resourceName: "gallery"), forKey: "image")
galleryActionButton.setValue(kCAAlignmentLeft, forKey: "titleTextAlignment")

actionSheetAlertController.view.tintColor = kTHEME_COLOR
self.present(actionSheetAlertController, animated: true, completion: nil)

Answer 2

An updated version to swift 5.0 of kCAAlignmentLeft (as answered by @Niraj Solanki here) is CATextLayerAlignmentMode.left So the code should be as below:

Swift 5.0

documentsActionButton.setValue(CATextLayerAlignmentMode.left, forKey: "titleTextAlignment")
