sizeWithFont method is deprecated. boundingRectWithSize returns an unexpected value

Question

In iOS7, sizeWithFont is deprecated, so I am using boundingRectWithSize(which returns a CGRect value). My code:

 UIFont *fontText = [UIFont fontWithName:[AppHandlers zHandler].fontName size:16];                     // you can use your font.   CGSize maximumLabelSize = CGSizeMake(310, 9999);   CGRect textRect = [myString boundingRectWithSize:maximumLabelSize                                 options:NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin                              attributes:@{NSFontAttributeName:fontText}                              context:nil];   expectedLabelSize = CGSizeMake(textRect.size.width, textRect.size.height); 

In textRect, I'm getting a size greater than my maximumLabelSize, a different size than when using sizeWithFont. How can I resolve this issue?

Answer 1

How about create new label and using sizeThatFit:(CGSize)size ??

UILabel *gettingSizeLabel = [[UILabel alloc] init]; gettingSizeLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"YOUR FONT's NAME" size:16]; gettingSizeLabel.text = @"YOUR LABEL's TEXT"; gettingSizeLabel.numberOfLines = 0; gettingSizeLabel.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping; CGSize maximumLabelSize = CGSizeMake(310, CGFLOAT_MAX);  CGSize expectSize = [gettingSizeLabel sizeThatFits:maximumLabelSize]; 

Edit: This upper code is not good for ios 7 and above, so please use below:

CGRect textRect = [myString boundingRectWithSize:maximumLabelSize                             options:NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin| NSStringDrawingUsesFontLeading                          attributes:@{NSFontAttributeName:fontText}                          context:nil];
