UILabel with dynamic height into UITableviewcell - ios

Question

I am developing an app which required to display UILabel into UITableviewCell. I also need to resize UILabel as per text size.
I am using following code for get contentsize of text size.
CGRect rect = [as boundingRectWithSize:CGSizeMake(220.0, 2000.0) options:NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin attributes:#{NSFontAttributeName: font} context:nil];
For update frame of UILabel I use following code.
rect.origin.x = cell.lblDescription.frame.origin.x;
rect.origin.y = cell.lblDescription.frame.origin.y;
rect.size.width = cell.lblDescription.frame.size.width;
[cell.lblDescription setFrame:rect];
It set wrong frame.
Please find attached screenshot.

Answer 1

NSString *text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[[arr_cart objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:#"name"]];
UIFont *font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"ArialMT" size:12];
CGSize size = [(text ? text : #"") sizeWithFont:font constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(200, 9999) lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];
UILabel *lbl_desc=[[UILabel alloc]init];
lbl_desc.numberOfLines = 0;
lbl_desc.frame=CGRectMake(70,18, size.width, size.height);
lbl_desc.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
lbl_desc.text = (text ? text : #"");
lbl_desc.font = font;
lbl_desc.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
lbl_desc.textColor = [UIColor darkTextColor];
[cell.contentView addSubview:lbl_desc];
[lbl_desc release];

You have to check the height of the label in - (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath UITableViewDelegate Method.
CGSize maximumLabelSize = CGSizeMake(your_label_width, FLT_MAX);
CGSize expectedLabelSize = [label_text sizeWithFont:[UIFont fontWithName:#"your_font" size:your_font_size] constrainedToSize:maximumLabelSize lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];
then set the cell height as expectedLabelSize.height.
also do the same thing in your custom cell.

Use following code
[self setDynamicHeightOfLabel:lblName withLblWidth:97 andFontSize:13];
In above method you just need to pass your UILabel name with specific width and fontSize of label.
-(void) setDynamicHeightOfLabel:(UILabel *) myLabel withLblWidth:(CGFloat) width andFontSize:(int) fontSize
{
CGSize myLabelSize = CGSizeMake(width, FLT_MAX);
CGSize expecteingmyLabelSize = [myLabel.text sizeWithFont:myLabel.font constrainedToSize:myLabelSize lineBreakMode:myLabel.lineBreakMode];
CGRect lblFrame = myLabel.frame;
lblFrame.size.height = expecteingmyLabelSize.height;
myLabel.frame = lblFrame;
int addressLine = myLabel.frame.size.height/fontSize;
myLabel.numberOfLines = addressLine;
}
Using above code you can set dynamic height of UILabel.
