How to put an image and write text in same UILabel?

Question

I want to put an image in my UILabel which should be right aligned and write some text in the same UILabel which should be left aligned. How can i do that programatically? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Set that image as background image

theLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"blah"]];

and write text as

thelabel.text =  @"abc"

set the align of the label

[thelabel setTextAlignment:UITextAlignmentLeft];

Answer 2

I am not sure that you can actually put an image inside a UILabel, but if you can, you'll be using the addSubView: method.

UILabel *label = ....
label.text = @"Hi there";

UIImageView *image = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(x,y,width,height)];
[label addSubView:image];

Try it out and see if it works, if not, then you'll probably have to set the image's frame to a frame that floats along with the label's.
