iOS create UILabels dynamically - ios

Question

Sometimes I want my view to contain 5 UILabels, sometimes 3 and sometimes n.
The number of UILabels depends on data that's fetched from a website.

Answer 1

You'll have to make them in code instead of interface builder
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(/* where you want it*/)];
label.text = #"text"; //etc...
[self.view addSubview:label];
[label release];
}

Answer 2

A generic answer for a generic question:
while (labelsToDisplay)
{
UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:aFrame];
[label setText:#"someText"];
[aViewContainer addSubview:label];
[label release];
}

Answer 3

NSArray *dataArray;
float xCoordinate=10.0,yCoordinate=10.0,width=100,height=40;
float ver_space=20.0;
for (int i = 0; i <dataArray.count; i++)
{
UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(xCoordinate,yCoordinate,width,height)];
label.text = [dataArray objectAtIndex:i];
[self.view addSubview:label];
yCoordinate=yCoordinate+height+ver_space;
}

Answer 4

UILabel *lbl=[[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(125, 12,170,20)];
lbl.text=#"IOS";
lbl.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
lbl.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
lbl.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"AlNile" size:10.0];
lbl.backgroundColor=[[UIColor redColor]colorWithAlphaComponent:0.5f];
lbl.layer.borderColor=[UIColor blackColor].CGColor;
lbl.layer.borderWidth=1.0f;
lbl.layer.cornerRadius = 6.0f;
[self.view addSubview:lbl];

Answer 5

UILabel *lblTitle=[[UILabel alloc]init];
[lblTitle setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100)];
[lblTitle setText:#"MAK"];
[lblTitle setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
[self.view addSubview:lblTitle];
-Here UILable will be created dynamically.
-but property will be set differently.

Answer 6

Create a TextView to show the text on the labels and a NSArray to contain the data.
