UITextView is not showing long text

Question

I have an UITextView inside a UIScrollView. The textView display correctly when text is not too long.

But when text is long long, it is not showing text in textView. However, the textView is still selectable.

Here is my layout.

Thank you so much!

Answer 1

I had the same problem displaying very long text (33745 chars) in a UITextView and after experimenting with different copy lengths the limitation is with the simulator. If the number of chars was over 7435 the simulator did not show the text but I could scroll, copy etc.

But testing on several devices, the 33745 chars text displayed correctly.

Answer 2

Just say

yourTextView.scrollEnabled = YES;

and see the magic
