在swift 5。工作很好。

class BaseTextView: UITextView {

    // MARK: - Views
    private var placeholderLabel: UIlabel!

    // MARK: - Init
    override init(frame: CGRect, textContainer: NSTextContainer?) {
        super.init(frame: frame, textContainer: textContainer)
        setupUI()
        startupSetup()
    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)
        setupUI()
        startupSetup()
    }

    deinit {
        NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self)
    }    
}

// MARK: - Setup UI
private extension BaseTextView {
    func setupUI() {
        addPlaceholderLabel()

        textColor = .textColor
    }

    func addPlaceholderLabel() {
        placeholderLabel = BaseLabel(frame: .zero)
        placeholderLabel.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        insertSubview(placeholderLabel, at: 0)

        placeholderLabel.alpha = 0
        placeholderLabel.numberOfLines = 0
        placeholderLabel.backgroundColor = .clear
        placeholderLabel.textColor = .lightTextColor
        placeholderLabel.lineBreakMode = .byWordWrapping
        placeholderLabel.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
        placeholderLabel.font = UIFont.openSansSemibold.withSize(12)

        placeholderLabel.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: topAnchor, constant: 8).isActive = true
        placeholderLabel.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: leftAnchor, constant: 5).isActive = true
        placeholderLabel.rightAnchor.constraint(lessThanOrEqualTo: rightAnchor, constant: -8).isActive = true
        placeholderLabel.bottomAnchor.constraint(lessThanOrEqualTo: bottomAnchor, constant: -8).isActive = true
    }
}

// MARK: - Startup
private extension BaseTextView {
    func startupSetup() {
        addObservers()
        textChanged(nil)
        font = UIFont.openSansSemibold.withSize(12)
    }    

    func addObservers() {
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(textChanged(_:)), name: UITextView.textDidChangeNotification, object: nil)
    }
}

// MARK: - Actions
private extension BaseTextView {
    @objc func textChanged(_ sender: Notification?) {
        UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.2) {
            self.placeholderLabel.alpha = self.text.count == 0 ? 1 : 0
        }    
    }
}

// MARK: - Public methods
extension BaseTextView {
    public func setPlaceholder(_ placeholder: String) {
        placeholderLabel.text = placeholder
    }
}

这里有一个简单而聪明的方法来获得完美的行为。

让我们借用UITextField中的占位符。

Set up a textField and set its text transparent. self.placeholderTextField = [[UITextField alloc] init]; /* adjust the frame to fit it in the first line of your textView */ self.placeholderTextField.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, yourTextView.width, 30.0); self.placeholderTextField.textColor = [UIColor clearColor]; self.placeholderTextField.userInteractionEnabled = NO; self.placeholderTextField.font = yourTextView.font; self.placeholderTextField.placeholder = @"sample placeholder"; [yourTextView addSubview:self.placeholderTextField]; Set textView's delegate and synchronize the textField and textView. yourTextView.delegate = self; then - (void)textViewDidChange:(UITextView *)textView { self.placeholderTextField.text = textView.text; } That's all.

简单的Swift 3解决方案

添加UITextViewDelegate到类中

设置你的textview .delegate = self

创建placeholderLabel和位置它在你的textview

现在动画placeholderLabel。alpha在textViewDidChange:

  func textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) {
    let newAlpha: CGFloat = textView.text.isEmpty ? 1 : 0
    if placeholderLabel.alpha != newAlpha {
      UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3) {
        self.placeholderLabel.alpha = newAlpha
      }
    }
  }

你可能不得不使用placeholderLabel位置来设置它，但这应该不会太难

我创建了一个实例变量来检查是否显示占位符:

BOOL showPlaceHolder;
UITextView * textView; // and also the textView

在viewDidLoad上设置:

[self setPlaceHolder]; 

下面是它的作用:

- (void)setPlaceholder
{
    textView.text = NSLocalizedString(@"Type your question here", @"placeholder");
    textView.textColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
    self.showPlaceHolder = YES; //we save the state so it won't disappear in case you want to re-edit it
}

我还创建了一个按钮来退出键盘。您不必这样做，但这里很酷的事情是，如果没有输入任何内容，占位符将再次显示

- (void)textViewDidBeginEditing:(UITextView *)txtView 
{
    self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Done" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:@selector(resignKeyboard)];
    if (self.showPlaceHolder == YES) 
    {
        textView.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
        textView.text = @"";
        self.showPlaceHolder = NO;
    }
}

- (void)resignKeyboard 
{
    [textView resignFirstResponder];
    //here if you created a button like I did to resign the keyboard, you should hide it
    if (textView.text.length == 0) {
        [self setPlaceholder];
    }       
}

另一个解决方案

import UIKit

protocol PlaceholderTextViewDelegate: class {

    func placeholderTextViewDidChangeText(_ text: String)
    func placeholderTextViewDidEndEditing(_ text: String)
}

final class PlaceholderTextView: UITextView {

    weak var notifier: PlaceholderTextViewDelegate?
    var ignoreEnterAction: Bool = true

    var placeholder: String? {
        didSet {
            text = placeholder
            selectedRange = NSRange(location: 0, length: 0)
        }
    }

    var placeholderColor = UIColor.lightGray {
        didSet {
            if text == placeholder {
                textColor = placeholderColor
            }
        }
    }
    var normalTextColor = UIColor.lightGray

    var placeholderFont = UIFont.sfProRegular(28)

    fileprivate var placeholderLabel: UILabel?

    // MARK: - LifeCycle

    override var text: String? {
        didSet {
            if text == placeholder {
                textColor = placeholderColor
            } else {
                textColor = normalTextColor
            }
        }
    }

    init() {
        super.init(frame: CGRect.zero, textContainer: nil)
        awakeFromNib()
    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)
    }

    override func awakeFromNib() {
        super.awakeFromNib()

        self.delegate = self
    }
}

extension PlaceholderTextView: UITextViewDelegate {

    // MARK: - UITextViewDelegate
    func textView(_ textView: UITextView, shouldChangeTextIn range: NSRange, replacementText text: String) -> Bool {

        if text == "" && textView.text == placeholder {
            return false
        }

        if let placeholder = placeholder,
            textView.text == placeholder,
            range.location <= placeholder.count {
            textView.text = ""
        }

        if ignoreEnterAction && text == "\n" {
            textView.resignFirstResponder()
            return false
        }
        return true
    }

    func textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) {
        if let placeholder = placeholder {
            textView.text = textView.text.replacingOccurrences(of: placeholder, with: "")
        }

        if let placeholder = placeholder,
            text?.isEmpty == true {
            text = placeholder
            textColor = placeholderColor

            selectedRange = NSRange(location: 0, length: 0)
        } else {
            textColor = normalTextColor
        }

        notifier?.placeholderTextViewDidChangeText(textView.text)
    }

    func textViewDidChangeSelection(_ textView: UITextView) {
        if let placeholder = placeholder,
            text == placeholder {
            selectedRange = NSRange(location: 0, length: 0)
        }
    }

    func textViewDidEndEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {
        notifier?.placeholderTextViewDidEndEditing(textView.text)

        if let placeholder = placeholder,
            text?.isEmpty == true {
            text = placeholder
            textColor = placeholderColor
            selectedRange = NSRange(location: 0, length: 0)
        } else {
            textColor = normalTextColor
        }
    }
}

结果:

    - (void)textViewDidChange:(UITextView *)textView
{
    placeholderLabel.hidden = YES;
}

在textview上放一个标签。
