iOS: UIButton resize according to text length

Question

In interface builder, holding Command + = will resize a button to fit its text. I was wondering if this was possible to do programmatically before the

Answer 1

If your button was made with Interface Builder, and you're changing the title in code, you can do this:

[self.button setTitle:@"Button Title" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[self.button sizeToFit];

Answer 2

This button class with height autoresizing for text (for Xamarin but can be rewritten for other language)

[Register(nameof(ResizableButton))]
public class ResizableButton : UIButton
{
    NSLayoutConstraint _heightConstraint;
    public bool NeedsUpdateHeightConstraint { get; private set; } = true;

    public ResizableButton(){}

    public ResizableButton(UIButtonType type) : base(type){}

    public ResizableButton(NSCoder coder) : base(coder){}

    public ResizableButton(CGRect frame) : base(frame){}

    protected ResizableButton(NSObjectFlag t) : base(t){}

    protected internal ResizableButton(IntPtr handle) : base(handle){}

    public override void LayoutSubviews()
    {
        base.LayoutSubviews();
        UpdateHeightConstraint();
        InvalidateIntrinsicContentSize();
    }

    public override void SetTitle(string title, UIControlState forState)
    {
        NeedsUpdateHeightConstraint = true;
        base.SetTitle(title, forState);
    }

    private void UpdateHeightConstraint()
    {
        if (!NeedsUpdateHeightConstraint)
            return;
        NeedsUpdateHeightConstraint = false;
        var labelSize = TitleLabel.SizeThatFits(new CGSize(Frame.Width - TitleEdgeInsets.Left - TitleEdgeInsets.Right, float.MaxValue));

        var rect = new CGRect(Frame.X, Frame.Y, Frame.Width, labelSize.Height + TitleEdgeInsets.Top + TitleEdgeInsets.Bottom);

        if (_heightConstraint != null)
            RemoveConstraint(_heightConstraint);

        _heightConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint.Create(this, NSLayoutAttribute.Height, NSLayoutRelation.Equal, 1, rect.Height);
        AddConstraint(_heightConstraint);
    }

     public override CGSize IntrinsicContentSize
     {
         get
         {
             var labelSize = TitleLabel.SizeThatFits(new CGSize(Frame.Width - TitleEdgeInsets.Left - TitleEdgeInsets.Right, float.MaxValue));
             return new CGSize(Frame.Width, labelSize.Height + TitleEdgeInsets.Top + TitleEdgeInsets.Bottom);
         }
     }
}
