Setting maximum number of characters of `UITextView ` and `UITextField `
Swift 4:
func textView(_ textView: UITextView, shouldChangeTextIn range: NSRange, replacementText text: String) -> Bool {
let newText = (textView.text as NSString).replacingCharacters(in: range, with: text)
return newText.count <= 70
}
Update Swift 4.X
func textView(_ textView: UITextView, shouldChangeTextIn range: NSRange, replacementText text: String) -> Bool {
let newText = (textView.text as NSString).replacingCharacters(in: range, with: text)
let numberOfChars = newText.count
return numberOfChars < 10 // 10 Limit Value
}
Try this out:
func textView(textView: UITextView, shouldChangeTextInRange range: NSRange, replacementText text: String) -> Bool {
let newText = (textView.text as NSString).stringByReplacingCharactersInRange(range, withString: text)
let numberOfChars = newText.characters.count // for Swift use count(newText)
return numberOfChars < 10;
}
