Change UITableView direction to Right-to-Left

Question

I develop an iOS application and my native language is Persian (a Right-to-Left language). How can I change UITableView direction to right-to-left in iOS programming?

A UITableView with RTL direction has:

• Icons are at right
• TableCell detail and button are at left
• TableView header and footer are right-aligned

like this :

Is there any UI or programming way to do this?

Answer 1

Try this on Swift 3

tableView.semanticContentAttribute = .forceRightToLeft

or in StoryBoard Cell properties (Semantic dropdown) select "Force Right-To-Left"

Answer 2

我知道它会自iOS8以来自动改为从右到左。

Answer 3

You can try to do this as well

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

    let cell = myTableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("cell")! as UITableViewCell

    cell.textLabel?.textAlignment = .Right

    cell.textLabel?.text = goalsArray[indexPath.row]

    return cell
}

Answer 4

Build your view's constraints with NSLayoutAttributeLeading and NSLayoutAttributeTrailing instead of NSLayoutAttributeLeft and NSLayoutAttributeRight .

Your view's Direction will be the same with your app's language Direction.

Answer 5

for me this way worked

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

    let cell = self.tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: cellReuseIdentifier)! as UITableViewCell

    //cell.myView.backgroundColor = self.colors[indexPath.row]
    cell.textLabel?.text =
    "\((self.FAQs?[indexPath.row].Question)!)"

    cell.textLabel?.textAlignment = .right

    return cell
}
