    <p>I'm trying to create a text field with a persistent "placeholder" of sorts by adding a UILabel as a subview of the text field. However, my label keeps being truncated, and I can't figure out why. Any advice is much appreciated!</p> <p>Here's what I'm currently getting (it's supposed to say "first name": <img src="https://imgur.com/58PEPW4.png" alt="Current"></p> <p>Here's the code I have: </p> <pre><code>#import "LabeledTextField.h" @interface PlaceholderLabel : UILabel @end @implementation PlaceholderLabel -(void)drawTextInRect:(CGRect)rect { UIEdgeInsets insets = {0, 10, 0, 0}; return [super drawTextInRect:UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(rect, insets)]; } @end @interface LabeledTextField () @property (nonatomic) PlaceholderLabel *placeholderLabel; @end @implementation LabeledTextField - (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame { self = [super initWithFrame:frame]; if (self) { _placeholderLabel = [[PlaceholderLabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, [self frame].size.height/2, 0, 0)]; [_placeholderLabel setBackgroundColor:UIColorFromRGB(0xdedede)]; [_placeholderLabel setTextColor:UIColorFromRGB(0x787878)]; [_placeholderLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue" size:kTextFieldPlaceholderFontSize]]; [_placeholderLabel setLineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail]; [_placeholderLabel setNumberOfLines:1]; } return self; } -(void)layoutSubviews { [super layoutSubviews]; [self setLeftView:_placeholderLabel]; } -(void)drawPlaceholderInRect:(CGRect)rect { return; } -(void)setPlaceholder:(NSString *)placeholder { [_placeholderLabel setText:placeholder]; [_placeholderLabel sizeToFit]; } -(CGRect)leftViewRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds { CGRect frame = [_placeholderLabel frame]; frame.origin.y = (self.frame.size.height - frame.size.height)/2; frame.size = [[_placeholderLabel text] sizeWithFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue" size:kTextFieldPlaceholderFontSize]]; return frame; } @end </code></pre>

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
