I have a Label which takes dynamicaly some data from database.
These data are strings which can sometimes be 3-4-5 rows etc.
So this labe is inside a UIView.
--UIView
--Label
How can i make the UIView
to take the certain height of the Label dynamicaly??
you can just do it with storyboard this pics
set the label height relation to greater than or equal
and set the view height relation to greater than or equal
it work like a magic
Bellow is working solution of your problem. I used autoLayout
. In testView
you don't set heightAnchor
let testView: UIView = {
let view = UIView()
view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
view.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()
return view
}()
let testLabel: UILabel = {
let label = UILabel()
label.numberOfLines = 0
label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
label.text = "jashfklhaslkfhaslkjdhflksadhflkasdhlkasdhflkadshkfdsjh"
return label
}()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
view.addSubview(testView)
testView.centerXAnchor.constraintEqualToAnchor(view.centerXAnchor).active = true
testView.centerYAnchor.constraintEqualToAnchor(view.centerYAnchor).active = true
testView.widthAnchor.constraintEqualToConstant(100).active = true
testView.addSubview(testLabel)
testLabel.topAnchor.constraintEqualToAnchor(testView.topAnchor, constant: 10).active = true
testLabel.leftAnchor.constraintEqualToAnchor(testView.leftAnchor, constant: 10).active = true
testLabel.bottomAnchor.constraintEqualToAnchor(testView.bottomAnchor, constant: -10).active = true
testLabel.rightAnchor.constraintEqualToAnchor(testView.rightAnchor, constant: -10).active = true
}
Below code will resolved your issue :
//Adjust View Height
[yourView setFrame:CGRectMake(yourView.frame.origin.x, yourView.frame.origin.y, yourView.frame.size.width, yourLable.frame.size.height + yourLable.frame.origin.y + extraspace)];
first calculate the size of label with the text it contains, using this function
func calculateSizeOfLabel(text:String,labelWidth:CGFloat,labelFont:UIFont)->CGSize{
let constrainedSize = CGSizeMake(labelWidth , 9999)
var attributesDictionary:[String:AnyObject] = [:]
attributesDictionary = [NSFontAttributeName:labelFont] as [String:AnyObject]
let string:NSMutableAttributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string:text, attributes:attributesDictionary)
var boundingRect = string.boundingRectWithSize(constrainedSize, options:.UsesLineFragmentOrigin, context:nil)
if (boundingRect.size.width > labelWidth) {
boundingRect = CGRectMake(0,0, labelWidth, boundingRect.size.height);
}
return boundingRect.size
}
and then apply the height of returned size to the UIView like this
let labelText = description.text
let labelWidth = description.bounds.width
let labelFont = description.font
let calculatedHeight = calculateSizeOfLabel(labelText,labelWidth:labelWidth,labelFont:labelFont).height
DescView.frame = CGRectMake(DescView.frame.origin.x, DescView.frame.origin.y, DescView.bounds.width,calculatedHeight)
- (IBAction)action:(id)sender {
self.label.text = @"UIImage *imageOne = [UIImage imageNamed:@RosePot.jpUIImageJPEGRepresentationg";
NSLog(@"%f",self.label.bounds.size.height);
float height = [self getHeightForText:@"UIImage *imageOne = [UIImage imageNamed:@RosePot.jpUIImageJPEGRepresentationg" withFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue" size:15] andWidth:self.label.bounds.size.width];
NSLog(@"%f",height);
self.constraint.constant = height + self.viewOne.bounds.size.height;
}
-(float) getHeightForText:(NSString*) text withFont:(UIFont*) font andWidth:(float) width{
CGSize constraint = CGSizeMake(width , 20000.0f);
CGSize title_size;
float totalHeight;
SEL selector = @selector(boundingRectWithSize:options:attributes:context:);
if ([text respondsToSelector:selector]) {
title_size = [text boundingRectWithSize:constraint
options:NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin
attributes:@{ NSFontAttributeName : font }
context:nil].size;
totalHeight = ceil(title_size.height);
} else {
title_size = [text sizeWithFont:font
constrainedToSize:constraint
lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];
totalHeight = title_size.height ;
}
CGFloat height = MAX(totalHeight, 40.0f);
return height;
}
Give leading ,top, trailing and height constraint for view .
And height outlet of view name as constraint [because i used outlet name constraint]
