iPhone – Wrap Text in UILabel

iPhone – Wrap Text in UILabel

In UILabel, there is an adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth property which will automatically adjust the text font size to fit the UILabel width.

view source print ?

1	UILabel *aLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 320.0, 20.0)];

2	aLabel.adjustsFontSizetoWidth = YES; // This is a must

3	aLabel.minimumFontSize = 8.0f;

4	aLabel.numberOfLines = 1; // This is a must too =.=

But this only work for numberOfLines = 1…
 

Luckily, i found a workaround from a blog post. Here comes to the solution.

view source print ?

01	// Initialize the Label, Text and Font

02	UILabel *aLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 64.0, 320.0, 60.0)];

03	UIFont *aFont = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:28.0];

04	NSString *aText = @"And I will love you, baby - Always. And I'll be there forever and a day - Always. I'll be there till the stars don't shine. Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme. And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind. And I'll love you - Always.";

05

06	// Logic for adjusting the size

07	for (NSInteger i = 28; i > 8; i--) {

08	aFont = [aFont fontWithSize:i];

09	// Limit the width to UILabel width

10	CGSize constraintSize = CGSizeMake(320.0f, MAXFLOAT);

11	CGSize labelSize = [aText sizeWithFont:aFont constrainedToSize:constraintSize lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap];

12	// Break the loop when text height < UILabel height

13	if (labelSize.height <= 60.0f) {

14

break;

15

}

16

}

17

18	// Set the font and text for UILabel

19	aLabel.font = aFont;

20	aLabel.text = aText;

21	aLabel.numberOfLines = 4;

22

23	// Add the Label to the view and release it

24	[self.view addSubview:aLabel];

25	[aLabel release];
