changing the color of Phone number(UITextView...with detect Phone Number enabled in xib file) in objective c

Question

Can we change from default blue color of Phone number(UITextView...with detect Phone Number option enabled in xib file) to other color in objective c?

For example number like 00471122345 shown in blue color in app which is not suiting by application back ground.

@ender: maybe you should post this as an answer (since it is) or the SO guys should merge/close the question. — Rok Jarc, Mar 02 '12 at 20:09

You can't change the default text colors in a UITextView. If you want control over text colors, the best way is to use UIWebView. It even has built-in detect phone numbers, if you want that. In a web view, you can change the text color, the background color, the link color, the visited link color, etc. just like on a normal web page.

(You can also do fancy alignment, tabling, add images, put have different parts of text be different size/font/color, etc. It's just a web page! :)
