As you can see in this image
the UITextView
changes it's height according to the text length, I want to make it adjust it's height according to the text length.
*I saw other questions, but solutions there didn't work for me

this Works for me, all other solutions didn't.
func adjustUITextViewHeight(arg : UITextView)
{
arg.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = true
arg.sizeToFit()
arg.scrollEnabled = false
}
In Swift 4 the syntax of arg.scrollEnabled = false
has changed to arg.isScrollEnabled = false
.
Give this a try:
CGRect frame = self.textView.frame;
frame.size.height = self.textView.contentSize.height;
self.textView.frame = frame;
Edit- Here's the Swift:
var frame = self.textView.frame
frame.size.height = self.textView.contentSize.height
self.textView.frame = frame
Followed by DeyaEldeen's answer.
In my case. I grow the textview height automatically by adding
swift 3
textView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
textView.isScrollEnabled = false
Swift 4
Add It To Your Class
UITextViewDelegate
func textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) {
let fixedWidth = textView.frame.size.width
textView.sizeThatFits(CGSize(width: fixedWidth, height: CGFloat.greatestFiniteMagnitude))
let newSize = textView.sizeThatFits(CGSize(width: fixedWidth, height: CGFloat.greatestFiniteMagnitude))
var newFrame = textView.frame
newFrame.size = CGSize(width: max(newSize.width, fixedWidth), height: newSize.height)
textView.frame = newFrame
}
In Storyboard / Interface Builder simply disable scrolling in the Attribute inspector.
In code textField.isScrollEnabled = false
should do the trick.
it's straight forward to do in programatic way. just follow these steps
add an observer to content length of textfield
[yourTextViewObject addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"contentSize" options:(NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew) context:NULL];
implement observer
-(void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath ofObject:(id)object change:(NSDictionary *)change context:(void *)context {
UITextView *tv = object;
//Center vertical alignment
CGFloat topCorrect = ([tv bounds].size.height - [tv contentSize].height * [tv zoomScale])/2.0;
topCorrect = ( topCorrect < 0.0 ? 0.0 : topCorrect );
tv.contentOffset = (CGPoint){.x = 0, .y = -topCorrect};
mTextViewHeightConstraint.constant = tv.contentSize.height;
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.2 animations:^{
[self.view layoutIfNeeded];
}];
}
if you want to stop textviewHeight to increase after some time during typing then implement this and set textview delegate to self.
-(BOOL)textView:(UITextView *)textView shouldChangeTextInRange:(NSRange)range replacementText:(NSString *)text
{
if(range.length + range.location > textView.text.length)
{
return NO;
}
NSUInteger newLength = [textView.text length] + [text length] - range.length;
return (newLength > 100) ? NO : YES;
}
just make a connection with your textView's height Constraint
@IBOutlet var textView: UITextView!
@IBOutlet var textViewHeightConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint!
and use this code below
textViewHeightConstraint.constant = self.textView.contentSize.height
its working
func textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) {
let fixedWidth = textviewconclusion.frame.size.width
textviewconclusion.sizeThatFits(CGSize(width: fixedWidth, height: CGFloat.greatestFiniteMagnitude))
let newSize = textviewconclusion.sizeThatFits(CGSize(width: fixedWidth, height: CGFloat.greatestFiniteMagnitude))
var newFrame = textviewconclusion.frame
newFrame.size = CGSize(width: max(newSize.width, fixedWidth), height: newSize.height)
textviewconclusion.frame = newFrame
}
In my project, the view controller is involved with lots of Constraints and StackView, and I set the TextView height as a constraint, and it varies based on the textView.contentSize.height value.
step1: get a IB outlet
@IBOutlet weak var textViewHeight: NSLayoutConstraint!
step2: use the delegation method below.
extension NewPostViewController: UITextViewDelegate {
func textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) {
textViewHeight.constant = self.textView.contentSize.height + 10
}
}
SWIFT 4
Change the size when typing
UITextViewDelegate
func textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) {
yourTextView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = true
yourTextView.sizeToFit()
yourTextView.isScrollEnabled = false
let calHeight = yourTextView.frame.size.height
yourTextView.frame = CGRect(x: 16, y: 193, width: self.view.frame.size.width - 32, height: calHeight)
}
Change the size when load
func textViewNotasChange(arg : UITextView) {
arg.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = true
arg.sizeToFit()
arg.isScrollEnabled = false
let calHeight = arg.frame.size.height
arg.frame = CGRect(x: 16, y: 40, width: self.view.frame.size.width - 32, height: calHeight)
}
Call the function of the second option like this:
textViewNotasChange(arg: yourTextView)
Here are two pitfalls in iOS 8.3 when coming with textView.textContainer.maximumNumberOfLines = 10
Refer to my gist, please.
textView.attributedText = originalContent
let lineLimit = 10
textView.isEditable = true
textView.isScrollEnabled = false
textView.textContainerInset = .zero // default is (8, 0, 8, 0)
textView.textContainer.maximumNumberOfLines = lineLimit // Important condition
textView.textContainer.lineBreakMode = .byTruncatingTail
// two incomplete methods, which do NOT work in iOS 8.3
// size.width可能比maxSize.width小 ————遗憾的是 iOS 8.3 上此方法无视maximumNumberOfLines参数,所以得借助于UILabel
// size.width may be less than maxSize.width, ---- Do NOT work in iOS 8.3, which disregards textView.textContainer.maximumNumberOfLines
// let size = textView.sizeThatFits(maxSize)
// 遗憾的是 iOS 8.3 上此方法失效了,得借助于UILabel
// Does not work in iOS 8.3
// let size = textView.layoutManager.usedRectForTextContainer(textView.textContainer).size
// Suggested method: use a temperary label to get its size
let label = UILabel(); label.attributedText = originalContent
let size = label.textRect(forBounds: CGRect(origin: .zero, size: maxSize), limitedToNumberOfLines: lineLimit).size
textView.frame.size = size
1 Add an observer to the content length of textfield
yourTextView.addObserver(self, forKeyPath: "contentSize", options: (NSKeyValueObservingOptions.new), context: nil);
2 Implement observer
override func observeValue(forKeyPath keyPath: String?, of object: Any?, change: [NSKeyValueChangeKey : Any]?, context: UnsafeMutableRawPointer?) {
let tv = object as! UITextView;
var topCorrect = (tv.bounds.size.height - tv.contentSize.height * tv.zoomScale)/2.0;
topCorrect = ( topCorrect < 0.0 ? 0.0 : topCorrect );
tv.contentOffset.x = 0;
tv.contentOffset.y = -topCorrect;
self.yourTextView.contentSize.height = tv.contentSize.height;
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.2, animations: {
self.view.layoutIfNeeded();
});
}
Better yet swift 4 add as an extension:
extension UITextView {
func resizeForHeight(){
self.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = true
self.sizeToFit()
self.isScrollEnabled = false
}
}
You can do that with IB.
Create outlet from UITextView height constraint.
Inherit your UIViewController from UITextViewDelegate
Then
`
func textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) {
// calculate text height
let constraintRect = CGSize(width: textView.frame.width,
height: .greatestFiniteMagnitude)
let boundingBox = self.boundingRect(with: constraintRect,
options: .usesLineFragmentOrigin,
attributes: [.font: textView.font],
context: nil)
let height = ceil(boundingBox.height)
// textViewHeightConstraint - your height constraint outlet from IB
if height > textViewHeightConstraint.constant {
textViewHeightConstraint.constant = height
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3, animations: {
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
})
}
}`
