objective c - Add padding into UIlabel text? -

i've label in table cell , wish add padding top,bottom,left , right.

cgrect initialframe = cgrectmake(10,10,100,20);     uiedgeinsets contentinsets = uiedgeinsetsmake(5, 0, 5, 0);     cgrect padd = uiedgeinsetsinsetrect(initialframe, contentinsets);     self.rewardlabel = [[uilabel alloc] initwithframe:padd];     self.rewardlabel.backgroundcolor =[uicolor colorwithred:0.192 green:0.373 blue:0.561 alpha:1];     self.rewardlabel.layer.cornerradius = 5.0f;     self.rewardlabel.layer.maskstobounds = yes;     self.rewardlabel.textcolor = [uicolor whitecolor];     self.rewardlabel.linebreakmode = nslinebreakbywordwrapping;     self.rewardlabel.numberoflines = 1;     self.rewardlabel.font = [uifont fontwithname:@"helveticaneue" size:14];     [self.contentview addsubview:self.rewardlabel]; 

but seem not working.can tell me how do?

there several ways on how achieve this:

1. if not need specific background color label adjust labels frame add padding (e.g. if text should start 20px cell's left side, set label's frame's x 20).
2. to add padding, use custom uilabel subclass , override drawtextinrect: , intrinsiccontentsize methods. (see question details)
3. if need left , right padding use nsattributedstring add insets uilabel:

uilabel *label = [[uilabel alloc] initwithframe:cgrectmake(0, 0, 200, 40)]; nsmutableparagraphstyle *paragraphstyle = [[nsmutableparagraphstyle alloc] init]; paragraphstyle.headindent = 5.0; paragraphstyle.firstlineheadindent = 5.0; paragraphstyle.tailindent = -5.0; nsdictionary *attrsdictionary = @{nsparagraphstyleattributename: paragraphstyle}; label.attributedtext = [[nsattributedstring alloc] initwithstring:@"your text" attributes:attrsdictionary];
