This is what you need to do in iOS Devices

cell.textLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;

If your are developing something for MAC, you should use:

cell.textLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;

Assign Alignment accordingly.

But question is about IOS 6 and there is No use of `UITextAlignment` instead of it we use `NSTextAlignment` ..... !! – TheTiger Dec 14 '12 at 07:16
This really should not be the highest voted answer as it is just wrong as of iOS5 – Rambatino Dec 28 '13 at 14:54
UITextAlignmentCenter is deprecated as of iOS 6. – Beanwah Feb 03 '14 at 23:33

I tried it several time with all its possible alignment but there is no change in the alignment – Kundan Dec 14 '12 at 06:51
If your text label is small, you won't notice any change because the text has nowhere to go. – borrrden Dec 14 '12 at 07:21

You can use the following code:

cell.textLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;

Hope this helps.

Please try with another label and add it to the cell:

Write the following code on top of the class:

#ifdef __IPHONE_6_0
# define ALIGN_CENTER NSTextAlignmentCenter
#else
# define ALIGN_CENTER UITextAlignmentCenter
#endif

Then add a label:

UILabel* label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 30)];
label.text = @"This is a sample text";
label.textAlignment = ALIGN_CENTER;
[cell.contentView addSubview:label];
[label release];

Is it works?

can you please see this link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11920321/label-alignment-in-ios-6-uitextalignment-deprecated please read this thread + what you are getting now ? any error or no changes regarding the code ? + are you getting right output for label color and the font also ? – sumon Dec 14 '12 at 06:54
are you testing in simulator? Is it iPhone 6.0 simulator ? It should work and the issue is also simple. Please don't be frustrated! I think you can solve your problem, can you please recheck the code and ensure that there is no duplicate alignment code + which alignment are you expecting ? Left, right or center? – sumon Dec 14 '12 at 07:06
I have edited the answer, can you please check with another label and check that is it working or not. thanks. – sumon Dec 14 '12 at 07:16

try this man...let see working or not...

write below statement in your common file (for example constant.h)

#define SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(v) ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] compare:v options:NSNumericSearch] != NSOrderedAscending)

//then to check textalignment for ios 6 or ios 5 write below code .m file where you want to use

if(SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(@"6.0"))
{
 cell.textLabel.textAlignment=NSTextAlignmentLeft;
}
else
{
   cell.textLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
}

try this ...

Happy Coding!!!!!
