UIView dynamic height depending on Label Height

Question

I have a Label which takes dynamicaly some data from database. These data are strings which can sometimes be 3-4-5 rows etc. So this labe is inside a UIView.

Answer 1

first calculate the size of label with the text it contains, using this function

func calculateSizeOfLabel(text:String,labelWidth:CGFloat,labelFont:UIFont)->CGSize{
        let constrainedSize = CGSizeMake(labelWidth , 9999)

        var attributesDictionary:[String:AnyObject] = [:]

            attributesDictionary = [NSFontAttributeName:labelFont] as [String:AnyObject]



        let string:NSMutableAttributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string:text, attributes:attributesDictionary)

        var boundingRect = string.boundingRectWithSize(constrainedSize, options:.UsesLineFragmentOrigin, context:nil)

        if (boundingRect.size.width > labelWidth) {
            boundingRect = CGRectMake(0,0, labelWidth, boundingRect.size.height);
        }


    return boundingRect.size
}

and then apply the height of returned size to the UIView like this

    let labelText = description.text
    let labelWidth = description.bounds.width
    let labelFont = description.font
    let calculatedHeight = calculateSizeOfLabel(labelText,labelWidth:labelWidth,labelFont:labelFont).height 
    DescView.frame = CGRectMake(DescView.frame.origin.x, DescView.frame.origin.y, DescView.bounds.width,calculatedHeight)
