Add text reflection to UITextField

Question

I am developing an app in which there is a requirement in which there is a text in text view. I have to give mirror effect to that text view text. I am searching on Google but can't find any solution.

How can I solve it? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I wrote a blog post awhile ago that uses a view's CAReplicatorLayer. It's designed for handling dynamics updates to a view with reflection. The post uses a UIWebView, but you could just use a UITextView instead.

Answer 2

Add a UILabel right beneath the text field. Apply a scale transformation to mirror it. Scale the y axis by -1 and the x axis by 1. Then all you have to do is update the text in the label every time the text field changes.
