I am getting the text size of a string with this
textSize = [[tempDict valueForKeyPath:@"caption.text"] sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:12] constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(280, CGFLOAT_MAX) lineBreakMode: NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];
The only problem I have is that if the string only contains an emoji, my app crashes. Is there an easy way to check for emojis or do I have to create an array with all possible emojis and then check for them using that?
error:
-[NSNull sizeWithFont:constrainedToSize:lineBreakMode:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x3aa88a60
if ([tempDict valueForKeyPath:@"caption.text"]){
NSLog(@"%@", [tempDict valueForKeyPath:@"caption"]);
//Measure the message label box height
textSize = [[tempDict valueForKeyPath:@"caption.text"] sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:12] constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(280, CGFLOAT_MAX) lineBreakMode: NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];
int height = 320 + 20 + textSize.height;
[cellHeight addObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:height]];
}
try this code:
- (BOOL)stringContainsEmoji:(NSString *)string {
__block BOOL returnValue = NO;
[string enumerateSubstringsInRange:NSMakeRange(0, [string length]) options:NSStringEnumerationByComposedCharacterSequences usingBlock:
^(NSString *substring, NSRange substringRange, NSRange enclosingRange, BOOL *stop) {
const unichar hs = [substring characterAtIndex:0];
// surrogate pair
if (0xd800 <= hs && hs <= 0xdbff) {
if (substring.length > 1) {
const unichar ls = [substring characterAtIndex:1];
const int uc = ((hs - 0xd800) * 0x400) + (ls - 0xdc00) + 0x10000;
if (0x1d000 <= uc && uc <= 0x1f77f) {
returnValue = YES;
}
}
} else if (substring.length > 1) {
const unichar ls = [substring characterAtIndex:1];
if (ls == 0x20e3) {
returnValue = YES;
}
} else {
// non surrogate
if (0x2100 <= hs && hs <= 0x27ff) {
returnValue = YES;
} else if (0x2B05 <= hs && hs <= 0x2b07) {

} else if (hs == 0xa9 || hs == 0xae || hs == 0x303d || hs == 0x3030 || hs == 0x2b55 || hs == 0x2b1c || hs == 0x2b1b || hs == 0x2b50) {

@Simha.IC answer is great.
However it does not work with the new iOS 9.1 emojis'.
Simha.IC snippet is not detecting these ones:
