A simple subclass of UILabel that allows users to copy text with a long press. Handles highlighting the label as needed.
PPCopiableLabel can be used as a drop-in replacement for UILabel. You can simply
change the custom class of any UILabel in Interface Builder, and now that label will
have the ability to display the Copy menu when pressed for a second.
While it displays the menu, the label changes to highlighted state, so you can easily
customize its appearance with UILabel's highlightedTextColor property, or within
Interface Builder, as shown in the demo.
label.highlightedTextColor = [UIColor redColor];
If no highlight color is specified, PPCopiableLabel takes over the label's tintColor,
which is blue by default on iOS 7.
Install via Cocoapods. Here's a sample Podfile:
pod 'PPCopiableLabel'
Alternatively, just drop the two files (PPCopiableLabel.m and PPCopiableLabel.h) into your project tree.
