iphone - Adding Images to UITextView

Question

In my app I have a UITextView and a button just below the text view to insert a photo into the UITextView while editing.

My requirement is that the user user is able to edit the text within, and insert images when needed.

Similar to StackOverflow's app's own UITextView:

Answer 1

You can add the image view as a subView of UITextView.

Create an imageView with image:

UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:yourImage];
[imageView setFrame:yourFrame];
[yourTextView addSubview:imageView];

Edit:

For avoiding the overlapping use (Thanks @chris):

CGRect aRect = CGRectMake(156, 8, 16, 16);
[imageView setFrame:aRect];
UIBezierPath *exclusionPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRect:CGRectMake(CGRectGetMinX(imageView.frame), CGRectGetMinY(imageView.frame), CGRectGetWidth(yourTextView.frame), CGRectGetHeight(imageView.frame))];
yourTextView.textContainer.exclusionPaths = @[exclusionPath];
[yourTextView addSubview:imageView];
