Multiline Label

Question

I want to create multiline label in iOS 6 app. It runs successfully in < iOS V6.0 app, now i am using same code in iOS6 app but its not working.

Here is my code:`

descriptionLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial" size:13];
 text2 = [text2 stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];
descriptionLabel.text=text2;
//here i calculate label height.
float messeglblHeight = [self calculateHeightOfTextFromWidth:text2 : [UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial" size:13] :280 :UILineBreakModeWordWrap];
[descriptionLabel setFrame:CGRectMake(descriptionLabel.frame.origin.x,  descriptionLabel.frame.origin.y, 280, messeglblHeight)];
descriptionLabel.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
descriptionLabel.numberOfLines = 0;
[descriptionLabel sizeToFit];

And i Calculate the label height from below function:

-(float) calculateHeightOfTextFromWidth:(NSString*) text: (UIFont*)withFont: (float)width :(UILineBreakMode)lineBreakMode
{
CGSize suggestedSize = [text sizeWithFont:withFont constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(width, FLT_MAX) lineBreakMode:lineBreakMode];

return suggestedSize.height;
}

So please give me some suggestions.

PS: The code is in iOS 5, wants to run in iOS6

Answer 1

Dont use the auto layout for you label, make it uncheck, the code is working fine and there is no problem other than this, hope it helps for you!

Answer 2

You don't need last line of the code.

[descriptionLabel sizeToFit];
