Adjust UILabel to change it's frame according to it's content

UILabel+dynamicSizeMe.h

@interface UILabel (dynamicSizeMe)

-(float)resizeToFit;
-(float)expectedHeight;

@end

UILabel+dynamicSizeMe.m

#import "UILabel+dynamicSizeMe.h"

@implementation UILabel (dynamicSizeMe)

-(float)resizeToFit{
    float height = [self expectedHeight];
    CGRect newFrame = [self frame];
    newFrame.size.height = height;
    [self setFrame:newFrame];
    return newFrame.origin.y + newFrame.size.height;
}

-(float)expectedHeight{
    [self setNumberOfLines:0];
    [self setLineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap];

    CGSize maximumLabelSize = CGSizeMake(self.frame.size.width,9999);
    
    CGSize expectedLabelSize = [[self text] sizeWithFont:[self font] 
                                            constrainedToSize:maximumLabelSize
                                            lineBreakMode:[self lineBreakMode]]; 
    return expectedLabelSize.height;
}

@end

It won't cause breakage Abizern, it will merely override the already existing method. That is the behavior of categories.

I've changed -(float)expectedHeight method to work in iOS7 and Xcode 5 without any warnings. Hope it will help someone:

-(float)expectedHeight {

[self setNumberOfLines:0];
[self setLineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByCharWrapping];

UIFont *font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14.0]; //Warning! It's an example, set the font, you need

NSDictionary *attributesDictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                                      font, NSFontAttributeName,
                                      nil];

CGSize maximumLabelSize = CGSizeMake(self.frame.size.width,9999);

CGRect expectedLabelRect = [[self text] boundingRectWithSize:maximumLabelSize
                                                     options:(NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin | NSStringDrawingUsesFontLeading)
                                                  attributes:attributesDictionary
                                                     context:nil];
CGSize *expectedLabelSize = &expectedLabelRect.size;

return expectedLabelSize->height;

}

Thanks @WingedDoom

Your answer made me create this:

    ...
    UILabel *titleLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 80)];
    [titleLabel setText:response[@"title"]];
    [titleLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue-Bold" size:22]];
    [ATStringHelper setExpectedHeightForLabel:titleLabel maxHeight:80];
    [self.view addSubview: titleLabel];
}

- (void)setExpectedHeightForLabel:(UILabel *)label maxHeight:(CGFloat)maxHeight
{
    [label setNumberOfLines:0];
    [label setLineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];
    CGSize currentLabelSize = CGSizeMake(label.frame.origin.x, label.frame.origin.y);

    NSDictionary *attributesDictionary = @{NSFontAttributeName:label.font};
    CGSize maximumLabelSize = CGSizeMake(label.frame.size.width, maxHeight);
    CGRect expectedLabelRect = [label.text boundingRectWithSize:maximumLabelSize options:(NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin | NSStringDrawingUsesFontLeading) attributes:attributesDictionary context:nil];
    CGSize expectedLabelSize = expectedLabelRect.size;
    [label setFrame:CGRectMake(currentLabelSize.width, currentLabelSize.height, expectedLabelSize.width, expectedLabelSize.height)];
}

i only wanted to know the size of the label reduces according to the data but it is alwaz in single line....max 45 charc
