How to add counter label to textView input??

[Lam Luong]

Hello guys, I'm finding the way to add the counter label to textView input! My purpose is to limit the number of text that user can type in and they can see it! But I don't know to add it to textView input

[Michael D]

Create a UILabel and place it near where the textView is and keep it hidden until someone types into the textView

@mding5692 thank guy, but I mean the label will be inside the textview! How to do that??

@luongnhatlam, @mding5692's solution is not totally wrong except he did not mention what's the hierarchy of label and text view. Visually, it will meet what you are asking for. If you really want to put a label inside the text view. You can addSubview to make it happen.

Hope it helps.
