Center UIPickerView Text


So I have a uipickerview with rows that only contain the number 0-24 and it looks a bit silly since the numbers are left aligned leaving a huge gap on the right of the pickerview.



Is there an easy way to center align text in a uipickerview?

  1. - (UIView *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView viewForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component reusingView:(UIView *)view
    {
    UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 37)];
    label.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"something here"];
    label.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
    label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    [label autorelease];
    return label;
    }


    or something like this.

  2. You can implement this delegate method, which returns a CGFloat

    - (CGFloat)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView widthForComponent:(NSInteger)component

    This is called on the picker view to determine row width.

  3. No property of picker having set alignment capability.

    so you need to hard code for this.

    see this code

    - (NSInteger)numberOfComponentsInPickerView:(UIPickerView *)thePickerView {

    return 1;
    }


    - (NSInteger)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)thePickerView numberOfRowsInComponent:(NSInteger)component
    {
    return 25;

    }

    - (NSString *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)thePickerView titleForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component {

    NSString *title=[NSString stringWithFormat:@" %i",row];//here you give extra spaces.
    return title;
    }

  4. Remember, the view in

    - (UIView *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView viewForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component reusingView:(UIView *)view


    is actually a UITableViewCell, so you can work with it like:

    - (UIView *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView viewForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component reusingView:(UIView *)view
    {
    static NSString *cellIdentifier = @"pickerViewCell";
    UITableViewCell *cell = (UITableViewCell*)view;

    if(cell==nil)
    {
    cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier] autorelease];
    /** customize the cell **/
    }

    /** set the label **/
    cell.textLabel.text = [dataSource objectAtIndex:row];

    return cell;
    }

Wildcards in a hosts file

I want to setup my local development machine so that any requests for *.local are redirected to localhost . The idea is that as I develop multiple sites, I can just add vhosts to Apache called site1.local , site2.local etc, and have them all resolve to localhost , while Apache serves a different site accordingly.
