Set proper gap between text.view frame and button frame - ios

Question

I have a text view and buttons. For some reason i got unexpected result when trying to set proper gap between those 2 elements. I think there could be incorrect calculating of text.view frame. That is how i manage to set text.view frame:
//1 Setting properties for text, starting with dictionary containing font size and family
NSDictionary *stringAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[UIFont fontWithName:#"helvetica neue"
size:14]
forKey: NSFontAttributeName];
//Creating frame to hold textView
CGSize maximumLabelSize = CGSizeMake(self.myTextView.frame.size.width, FLT_MAX);
CGSize textViewSize = [self.descriptionStringShort boundingRectWithSize:maximumLabelSize
options:NSStringDrawingTruncatesLastVisibleLine|NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin
attributes:stringAttributes context:nil].size;
//Setting frame
CGRect frame = self.myTextView.frame;
frame.size.height = textViewSize.height;
NSLog(#"%f height", frame.size.height);
self.myTextView.frame = frame;
After that, when tried to set button frames it always show different gap between those to elements (my "rough" solutions is to check height of text.view and set "minimum" and "maximum" y depend on it, but it won't work in a real world app). For example, button frame may be draw on textView.frame or much below it. There is how i set map frame:
CGRect mapButtonFrame = self.mapButton.frame;
mapButtonFrame.origin.x = 30;
if (frame.size.height < 50){
mapButtonFrame.origin.y = (200+frame.size.height + 150);
} else if (frame.size.height >300){
mapButtonFrame.origin.y = (200+frame.size.height +50);
} else {
mapButtonFrame.origin.y = (200+frame.size.height +100);
}
self.mapButton.frame = mapButtonFrame;
Still, that approach is bad, please take a look at screenshots attached:
Here, as you can see, always different gap between 2 elements. How could i make it fixed?
By the way, auto layout is turned off.
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks1

This should work just fine:
[myTextView sizeToFit];//This will change the textView frame according to the text length
CGRect bFrame = self.mapButton.frame;
bFrame.origin.y = myTextView.frame.size.height + 20.0f;// The gap you want between the text and the button
self.mapButton.frame = bFrame;
