另一个解决方案是使用keyboardWillHide和keyboardWillShow通知，就像我做的那样。

首先，您需要分别处理viewWillAppear和viewWillAppear方法中的侦听和取消侦听通知(以处理内存泄漏)。

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)
    setupKeyboardNotificationListeners(enable: true)
}

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
    setupKeyboardNotificationListeners(enable: false)
}

然后是处理监听/取消监听通知的方法:

private func setupKeyboardNotificationListeners(enable: Bool) {
        if enable {
            NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.keyboardWillShow), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)
            NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.keyboardWillHide), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillHide, object: nil)
        } else {
            NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self)
        }
    }

然后在keyboardWillHide和keyboardWillShow的两个方法中，你处理文本的占位符和颜色变化。

@objc func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
    if self.textView.text == self.placeholder {
        self.textView.text = ""
        self.textView.textColor = .black
    }
}

@objc func keyboardWillHide(notification: NSNotification) {
    if self.textView.text.isEmpty {
        self.textView.text = self.placeholder
        self.textView.textColor = .lightGrey
    }
}

我发现这个解决方案是目前为止最好的，因为文本会在键盘出现时立即删除，而不是在用户开始输入时删除，这可能会导致混乱。

在视图加载中设置值

    txtVw!.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionType.No
    txtVw!.text = "Write your Placeholder"
    txtVw!.textColor = UIColor.lightGrayColor()



func textViewDidBeginEditing(textView: UITextView) {
    if (txtVw?.text == "Write your Placeholder")

    {
        txtVw!.text = nil
        txtVw!.textColor = UIColor.blackColor()
    }
}

func textViewDidEndEditing(textView: UITextView) {
    if txtVw!.text.isEmpty
    {
        txtVw!.text = "Write your Placeholder"
        txtVw!.textColor = UIColor.lightGrayColor()
    }
    textView.resignFirstResponder()
}

协议版本的clearlight的答案上面，因为协议是伟大的。随便放哪都行。扣篮!

extension UITextViewPlaceholder where Self: UIViewController {

    // Use this in ViewController's ViewDidLoad method.
    func addPlaceholder(text: String, toTextView: UITextView, font: UIFont? = nil) {
        placeholderLabel = UILabel()
        placeholderLabel.text = text
        placeholderLabel.font = font ?? UIFont.italicSystemFont(ofSize: (toTextView.font?.pointSize)!)
        placeholderLabel.sizeToFit()
        toTextView.addSubview(placeholderLabel)
        placeholderLabel.frame.origin = CGPoint(x: 5, y: (toTextView.font?.pointSize)! / 2)
        placeholderLabel.textColor = UIColor.lightGray
        placeholderLabel.isHidden = !toTextView.text.isEmpty
    }

    // Use this function in the ViewController's textViewDidChange delegate method.
    func textViewWithPlaceholderDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) {
        placeholderLabel.isHidden = !textView.text.isEmpty
    }
}

迅速的回答

这是一个自定义类，用于动画占位符。

class CustomTextView: UITextView {
    
    //   MARK: - public
    
    public var placeHolderText: String? = "Enter Reason.."
    
    public lazy var placeHolderLabel: UILabel! = {
        let placeHolderLabel = UILabel(frame: .zero)
        placeHolderLabel.numberOfLines = 0
        placeHolderLabel.backgroundColor = .clear
        placeHolderLabel.alpha = 0.5
        return placeHolderLabel
    }()
    
    //   MARK: - Init
    
    override init(frame: CGRect, textContainer: NSTextContainer?) {
        super.init(frame: frame, textContainer: textContainer)
        enableNotifications()
    }
    
    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)
        enableNotifications()
    }
    
    func setup() {
        placeHolderLabel.frame = CGRect(x: 8, y: 8, width: self.bounds.size.width - 16, height: 15)
        placeHolderLabel.sizeToFit()
    }
    
    //   MARK: - Cycle
    
    override func awakeFromNib() {
        super.awakeFromNib()
        
        textContainerInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 8, left: 5, bottom: 8, right: 8)
        returnKeyType = .done
        addSubview(placeHolderLabel)
        placeHolderLabel.frame = CGRect(x: 8, y: 8, width: self.bounds.size.width - 16, height: 15)
        placeHolderLabel.textColor = textColor
        placeHolderLabel.font = font
        placeHolderLabel.text = placeHolderText
        bringSubviewToFront(placeHolderLabel)
    }
    
    override func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()
        setup()
    }
    
    //   MARK: - Notifications
    
    private func enableNotifications() {
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(textDidChangeNotification(_:)), name: UITextView.textDidChangeNotification , object: nil)
    }
    
    @objc func textDidChangeNotification(_ notify: Notification) {
        guard self == notify.object as? UITextView else { return }
        guard placeHolderText != nil else { return }
        
        UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.25, animations: {
            self.placeHolderLabel.alpha = (self.text.count == 0) ? 0.5 : 0
        }, completion: nil)
    }
    
}

我很惊讶没有人提到NSTextStorageDelegate。UITextViewDelegate的方法只能由用户交互触发，而不是以编程方式触发。例如，当你以编程方式设置一个文本视图的文本属性时，你必须自己设置占位符的可见性，因为委派方法不会被调用。

然而，使用NSTextStorageDelegate的textStorage(_:didProcessEditing:range:changeInLength:)方法，你会收到任何文本更改的通知，即使它是通过编程完成的。就像这样分配它:

textView.textStorage.delegate = self

(在UITextView中，这个委派属性默认为nil，所以它不会影响任何默认行为。)

将它与@clearlight演示的UILabel技术结合起来，可以轻松地将整个UITextView的占位符实现包装成一个扩展。

extension UITextView {

    private class PlaceholderLabel: UILabel { }

    private var placeholderLabel: PlaceholderLabel {
        if let label = subviews.compactMap( { $0 as? PlaceholderLabel }).first {
            return label
        } else {
            let label = PlaceholderLabel(frame: .zero)
            label.font = font
            addSubview(label)
            return label
        }
    }

    @IBInspectable
    var placeholder: String {
        get {
            return subviews.compactMap( { $0 as? PlaceholderLabel }).first?.text ?? ""
        }
        set {
            let placeholderLabel = self.placeholderLabel
            placeholderLabel.text = newValue
            placeholderLabel.numberOfLines = 0
            let width = frame.width - textContainer.lineFragmentPadding * 2
            let size = placeholderLabel.sizeThatFits(CGSize(width: width, height: .greatestFiniteMagnitude))
            placeholderLabel.frame.size.height = size.height
            placeholderLabel.frame.size.width = width
            placeholderLabel.frame.origin = CGPoint(x: textContainer.lineFragmentPadding, y: textContainerInset.top)

            textStorage.delegate = self
        }
    }

}

extension UITextView: NSTextStorageDelegate {

    public func textStorage(_ textStorage: NSTextStorage, didProcessEditing editedMask: NSTextStorageEditActions, range editedRange: NSRange, changeInLength delta: Int) {
        if editedMask.contains(.editedCharacters) {
            placeholderLabel.isHidden = !text.isEmpty
        }
    }

}

注意，使用了一个名为PlaceholderLabel的私有(嵌套)类。它根本没有实现，但它为我们提供了一种识别占位符标签的方法，这比使用tag属性要“快捷”得多。

使用这种方法，你仍然可以将UITextView的委托分配给其他人。

你甚至不需要改变文本视图的类。只要添加扩展，你就可以为项目中的每个UITextView分配一个占位符字符串，甚至在接口生成器中也是如此。

出于清晰的原因，我省略了placeholderColor属性的实现，但是它可以用与placeholder类似的计算变量在多几行中实现。

基于这里已经给出的一些很好的建议，我能够将以下轻量级的、与接口生成器兼容的UITextView子类组合在一起，它是:

包括可配置的占位符文本，样式就像UITextField一样。 不需要任何额外的子视图或约束。 不需要来自ViewController的任何委托或其他行为。 不需要任何通知。 保持占位符文本与查看字段文本属性的任何外部类完全分离。

任何改进建议都是受欢迎的，特别是如果有任何方法通过编程来获取iOS的占位符颜色，而不是硬编码它。

斯威夫特v5:

import UIKit
@IBDesignable class TextViewWithPlaceholder: UITextView {
    
    override var text: String! { // Ensures that the placeholder text is never returned as the field's text
        get {
            if showingPlaceholder {
                return "" // When showing the placeholder, there's no real text to return
            } else { return super.text }
        }
        set { super.text = newValue }
    }
    @IBInspectable var placeholderText: String = ""

        // If the current text is the placeholder, remove it
        if showingPlaceholder {
            text = nil
            textColor = nil // Put the text back to the default, unmodified color
            showingPlaceholder = false
        }
        return super.becomeFirstResponder()
    }
    
    override func resignFirstResponder() -> Bool {
        // If there's no text, put the placeholder back
        if text.isEmpty {
            showPlaceholderText()

        return super.resignFirstResponder()
    }
    
    private func showPlaceholderText() {
        showingPlaceholder = true
        textColor = placeholderTextColor
        text = placeholderText
