Change of UITextField placeholder color
ios, uitextfield
Solution
From Docs
@property(nonatomic, copy) NSAttributedString *attributedPlaceholder
This property is nil by default. If set, the placeholder string is drawn using a 70% grey color and the remaining style information (except the text color) of the attributed string. Assigning a new value to this property also replaces the value of the placeholder property with the same string data, albeit without any formatting information. Assigning a new value to this property does not affect any other style-related properties of the text field.
Objective-C
NSAttributedString *str = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"Some Text" attributes:@{ NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor redColor] }];
self.myTextField.attributedPlaceholder = str;
Swift
let str = NSAttributedString(string: "Text", attributes: [NSForegroundColorAttributeName:UIColor.redColor()])
myTextField.attributedPlaceholder = str
Swift 4
let str = NSAttributedString(string: "Text", attributes: [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.red])
myTextField.attributedPlaceholder = str
Problem
How to dynamically change placeholder color of the `UITextField`? This is always the same system color. No option in xib editor.
