UITextView text not starting from top

iphone, uitextview

Solution

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];

Problem

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.
