UIScrollView size to match UITextView size

Question

I have a UIScrollView with a block of text in a UITextView. The text could be any amount of words coming from a server.

I want the scroll view to be the correct scroll size to match the size of the UITextView.

What is the current practice to do this?

You can use something like below to get the height for your textview

CGSize size = [@"Your string" 
           sizeWithFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT" size:22] 
           constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(500, CGFLOAT_MAX)];

_textView.frame = CGRectMake(x,y, width, size.height);  
_scrollview.frame = CGRectMake(x,y, width, size.height);  

or there is a littl hack you can use :p Use a Label to get the height for your text view.

   UILabel *tempLabel = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrmae:_textView.bounds];
   tempLabel.numberOfLines = 0; // Important to do 
   tempLabel.text = @"Your Text";
   [tempLabel sizeToFit]; // This will resize your Label and now you can use it's height to manage your textView.

Now use this tempLabel's height

tempLabel.frame.size.height

UITextView is an extension of UIScrollView. So you can get its content size using contentSize propery.
