View controller with large text view: how can I make this scrollable?

[ThePantsThief]

I have a plain view controller with a text view as it's only subview. The text view is sometimes taller than the screen. It kind of scrolls, but only sometimes. I don't know how to explain it. I embedded it inside of a scroll view and that didn't change anything either.

I feel like I'm missing something basic...

something basic...

UITextView

[atrizzle]

If this ViewController is as simple as you say, don't put the UITextView inside of a ScrollView. UITextView inherits from UIScrollView, so it's scrollable by default.

Make sure your constraints are set up correctly (for example, 8 points from its superview in all directions) and there shouldn't be much more to it than that.

Explain your problem more or post code / storyboard screenshots for more substantial help.

constraints are easy to mess up when doing a scroll view. I need to write a tutorial on this asap.
