So, create the UIImage of the colored circle in code:

Then use it for attachment.
Does that make sense to you ?
What do you mean "with rounded label in it"?
Hi,
i need to create a string with a colored circle before it.
I know that we can attach an image with an attributed string.
So i thought to create an attributed string with a label.
Is it possible?
Yes it is possible.
See details here:
h ttps://www.hackingwithswift.com/example-code/system/how-to-insert-images-into-an-attributed-string-with-nstextattachment
// create an NSMutableAttributedString that we'll append everything to
let fullString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "Start of text")
// create our NSTextAttachment
let image1Attachment = NSTextAttachment()
image1Attachment.image = UIImage(named: "circleIcon.png")
// wrap the attachment in its own attributed string so we can append it
let image1String = NSAttributedString(attachment: image1Attachment)
// add the NSTextAttachment wrapper to our full string, then add some more text.
fullString.append(image1String)
fullString.append(NSAttributedString(string: "End of text"))
// draw the result in a label
yourLabel.attributedText = fullString
Hi,
I dont want to attach an image in attributed string.
As the color code of the circle comes from api,
i need to attach a label and i need to set the backgorund color of the label with the color comes from api.
How to acheive this?
I don't understand
You said : i need to attach a label
when you say label, that's not a UILabel ? Is that simply a string ?
Attach to what ?
Attaching a UILabel inside an attributedString does not make sense.
What you can do is compute an image of a label with a circle, set its backgroundColor programmatically and include in AttributedString as explained before through attachement.
But I understand you don't want that.
So, do you want to attach to the UILabel where the attributedString is displayed ?
Let's try to draw it
___ _________________________
| 1 | | attributedString |
|___| |________________________|
UILabel UILabel
1 is the label, with a background color.
Is it what you want ?
If not, please try to draw what you want
Hi,
Sample String :
" Starting String ➖ end String " ( hypen not required in the circle).
i will get the color of the circle from api.
According to the color received from api, i need to change the color of the circle.
So, create the UIImage of the colored circle in code:

Then use it for attachment.
