UITextView with large font size and magnifying glass

Question

I have a UITextView wrapped inside a UIView which can be resized (increasing frame and font size), and the magnifying glass works fine with smaller textview sizes

But if I increase the textview size a lot, the magnifying glass starts going out of its frame

Can I just remove the magnifying glass without affecting cursor selection, or decrease the scale value inside the glass so the content fits its frame?

Answer 1

Ok, managed to disable magnifying glass without removing the ability to move curser.

To do that, I removed the UILongPressGestureRecognizer to get rid of magnifying glass. Then used my UIPanGestureRecognizer to track the touch location of the user

CGPoint currentPos = [panRecognizer locationInView:self];

and then set the cursor location

UITextPosition *cursorPosition=[self closestPositionToPoint:CGPointMake(currentPos.x, currentPos.y)];
[self setSelectedTextRange:[self textRangeFromPosition:cursorPosition toPosition:cursorPosition]];
