Iphone CATextLayer doesn't show it's text.
- by lovecactus
Here is my new bee issue:
I was simply trying to add a CATextlayer in an UIView layer. However, according to the following code, I only get the CATextlayer's background color be displayed in the UIView, without any text. Just wonder what did I missed to display the text.
Could anyone ofter a hint/sample how to use CATextlayer? Thanks.
(id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil {
if ((self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil])) {
// Custom initialization
CATextLayer *TextLayer = [CATextLayer layer];
TextLayer.bounds = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f);
TextLayer.string = @"Test";
TextLayer.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:18].fontName;
TextLayer.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor].CGColor;
TextLayer.wrapped = NO;
//TextLayer.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
self.view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f)];
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
[self.view.layer addSublayer:TextLayer];
[self.view.layer layoutSublayers];
}
return self;
}
