UILabel with Multiple links

Question

Hello I am trying to tappable UILabel similar to Facebook's like text, Label's text would be similar to

"You, Steve and 50 others like this."

Where "You", "Steve" and "50 others" should be tappable separately.

I am trying my luck with NSAttributedString but it is not helping me, Can anyone help me to find a way ?

Glad to know that. You might require three separate UILables for that. But give a try first. — Mrunal, Nov 14 '14 at 12:30
Try this, use method in this answer http://stackoverflow.com/a/20633388/3604161 to calculate relative location of words you want to make tappable, add tap gesture recognizer to label, after tap compare locations — Seryozha, Nov 14 '14 at 13:06

try this, but it's not for label but it's for textView.

    NSMutableAttributedString * string = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"firstsecond"];
[string addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:[UIColor redColor] range:NSMakeRange(0,5)];
[string addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:[UIColor greenColor] range:NSMakeRange(5,6)];




//[string addAttribute:NSUnderlineStyleAttributeName value:[NSNumber numberWithInt:10] range:NSMakeRange(0,5)];

[string addAttribute:NSLinkAttributeName value:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.google.co.in"] range:NSMakeRange(0,5)];



[string addAttribute:NSLinkAttributeName value:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.yahoo.com"] range:NSMakeRange(5,6)];



self.txtView.attributedText=string;
self.txtView.scrollEnabled = NO;
self.txtView.editable = NO;
self.txtView.textContainer.lineFragmentPadding = 0;
self.txtView.textContainerInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 0);
self.txtView.delegate = self;
 }
- (BOOL)textView:(UITextView *)textView shouldInteractWithURL:(NSURL *)url inRange:        (NSRange)characterRange
 {
    return YES;
  }

"Links in text views are interactive only if the text view is selectable but noneditable." - May be use to someone, I waste lot of time for this. — Naveen Shan, Jan 28 '16 at 11:30
