objective c - iOS: The proper way to display Images and long texts with scroll functionality -

i'm developing app news website, i'm displaying news articles using uitableview each cell article title, when user clicks on cell (i.e article), view opens (using segue), in view want put following:

1. the article's image @ top.
2. the article's date under image.
3. the article's description under date. (which long)
4. the ability user scroll entire view. (not description)

note: have tried many ways, can't seem know proper way implement structure.

the modern solution relatively simple: compose whole thing attributed string , put uitextview. text view automatically deal fact description may long, content should scroll together, etc.

e.g.

nsattributedstring *imagestring = [nsattributedstring attributedstringwithattachment:                 [[nstextattachment new] setimage:[uiimage imagenamed:@"whatever.png"]]]; 

... , use natural means composition of attributed strings , setting things font , colour on other bits of text. textview.attributedstring = compoundstring;.

elaborated example:

- (void)setstory:(story *)story {     nsattributedstring *image = [story imagestring];     nsattributedstring *date = [story datestring];     nsattributedstring *body = [story bodystring];      nsmutableattributedstring *wholestory = [nsmutableattributedstring new];      // todo: can sure image, date , body non-nil?     nsarray *allcomponents = @[image, date, body];     for(nsattributedstring *component in allcomponents)     {         [wholestory appendattributedstring:component];         if(component != [allcomponents lastobject])             [[wholestory mutablestring] appendstring:@"\n\n"];     }      self.textview.attributedstring = wholestory; }  ... elsewhere, in story object ...  - (uiimage *)image {     // ...something... }  - (nsstring *)datetext {     // ...something, using nsdateformatter unless it's returned     // server or wherever formatted... }  - (nsstring *)bodytext {     // ... ... }  - (nsattributedstring *)imagestring {     return [nsattributedstring attributedstringwithattachment:             [[nstextattachment new] setimage:[self image]]]; }  - (nsattributedstring *)datestring {     return [[nsattributedstring alloc]              initwithstring:[self datetext]              attributes:              @{                  nsfontattributename: [uifont preferredfontfortextstyle: uifonttextstylesubheadline],                  ... etc ...              }]; }  - (nsattributedstring *)bodystring {     return [[nsattributedstring alloc]              initwithstring:[self bodytext]              attributes:              @{                  nsfontattributename: [uifont preferredfontfortextstyle: uifonttextstylebody],                  ... etc ...              }]; } 

check out nsattributedstring uikit additions documentation lists of various attributes can set other nsfontattributename. note i've gone ios 7+ way of asking fonts purpose rather specific size or font. means users have turned default font size larger text in app.
