The leftView and rightView views of an UITextField on iOS7 are really close to the textfield border.
How may I add some (horizontal) padding to those items?
I tried modifying the frame, but did not work
uint padding = 10;//padding for iOS7 UIImageView * iconImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:iconImage]; iconImageView.frame = CGRectMake(0 + padding, 0, 16, 16); textField.leftView = iconImageView;
Please, note that I'm not interested in adding padding to the textfield's text, like this Set padding for UITextField with UITextBorderStyleNone
A much simpler solution, which takes advantage of contentMode
:
arrow = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"down_arrow"]]; arrow.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, arrow.image.size.width+10.0, arrow.image.size.height); arrow.contentMode = UIViewContentModeCenter; textField.rightView = arrow; textField.rightViewMode = UITextFieldViewModeAlways;
In Swift 3,
let arrow = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "arrowDrop")) if let size = arrow.image?.size { arrow.frame = CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width: size.width + 10.0, height: size.height) } arrow.contentMode = UIViewContentMode.center self.textField.rightView = arrow self.textField.rightViewMode = UITextFieldViewMode.always
