Question

-(void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{   
    CGContextRef  context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
    CGContextSelectFont(context, "Arial", 24, kCGEncodingFontSpecific);
    CGContextSetTextPosition(context,80,80);
    CGContextShowText(context, "hello", 6);
    //not even this works
    CGContextShowTextAtPoint(context, 1,1, "hello", 6);
}

I want to know how to call the above method, I have pasted the above code into the implementation file, but don’t know why it’s not called when I execute the project.

Does anyone know why this could be?

Answer 1

setNeedsDisplay should do that for you, here is a link link text

The methods is also called when the view first displays…
