UITextView text not starting from top

Question

I have a UITextView. I want its text to start from top but I it is not coming from top. Please have a look at my code :

UITextView *myTextView = [[UITextView alloc] init]; myTextView.frame = rect; myTextView.editable = NO; myTextView.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:MAIN_FONT_SIZE]; myTextView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor]; myTextView.text = sourceNode.label; myTextView.dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypeAll; [cell.contentView addSubview:myTextView]; [myTextView sizeToFit]; [self alignTextToTopTextView:myTextView];  

alignTextToTopTextView:

-(void)alignTextToTopTextView :(UITextView*)textView{      CGRect frame = textView.frame;     frame.size.height = textView.contentSize.height;     textView.frame = frame; }  

Please see the below screenshot.

UITextView is on the right side.

Answer 1

Set the Content Inset like this in your UITextView

youtextView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(-7.0,0.0,0,0.0); 

Adjust the Top value the way you want. this shoud fix your problem.

EDIT:

If you're having issues with iOS7 or above, try using...

[yourTextView setContentOffset: CGPointMake(x,y) animated:BOOL];

Answer 2

in the viewDidLoad method add

self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = false
