I have an edit and a delete tableViewRowAction in my tableViewCell. Currently I'm using the built in emojis to use as my title, but it is too small. How do I make the font larger?

I know we can only customise a limited amount of things in the tableViewRowAction. But is there a way to go around it to make just the title font bigger?

I checked other threads and most of them used: 

UIButton.appearance().setAttributedTitle(NSAttributedString(string: "Your Button", attributes: attributes), forState: .Normal)

with a set attribute that determines the font size of course. However, this affects ALL buttons, and that isn't good.

Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

you are setting this to UIButton so it is set for all UIButton objects.

You can set it for specific button object like,

  let myButton: UIButton = UIButton()  //your button here
  let attributedStr: NSAttributedString = NSAttributedString()
  myButton.setAttributedTitle(attributedStr, forState: .Normal)

Update :

You can set title as attributed string.

check Apple documentation for that and refer this answer for more details

Hope this will help :)

  • Hi thanks for the reply. (: However, UITableViewRowAction is not of type UIButton. So I can't use the UIButton route to set the title size. – Raymond Moay May 13 '16 at 06:26
  • Thanks! I understand but how do I set title which is of type String to a NSAttributedString? It gives me an error. Here is my code: `let attributes = [NSFontAttributeName: UIFont.systemFontOfSize(20)] as Dictionary! let attributedStringRemove = NSAttributedString(string: "✖︎", attributes: attributes)` and then adding attributed string into title here: `let removeAction = UITableViewRowAction(style: .Default, title: attributedStringRemove)` – Raymond Moay May 13 '16 at 08:01
  • You're welcome!! Yes, that means you have to used default font size then. If you are not allowed to set attributed text then you can't change title implicitly. I suggest you to use `delete` or `remove` kind of text instead of `x` so that it shows some bigger effect. – Ketan Parmar May 13 '16 at 09:32
