UIScrollView and UITextView autosizing possible? - iphone

Question

I have a view that is pushed onto the Screen via navigation controllers:
Inside is a UIScrollView.
Then inside the UIScrollView are a few static objects like Images and Labels.
Then comes the hard bit, There is a UITextView with its text loaded from different text files of varying length.
I need to be able to have the UITextView size dynamically to its contents, and the same for the UIScrollView. Is this possible?

Answer 1

float length = [yourText length];
textview.frame = CGRectMake(44, 87, 923, ceilf(length/142)*25);
Here 25 is the constant value assumed as text font width. From this you can set scrollview frame reference to the textview frame.

Answer 2

You can do that with the help of following code. I had done that code for Label and same way you can do that with the help of text-field.
NSString *cellText = "Text Of Your Text-Field";
UIFont *cellFont = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Your Font Name" size:FONT_SIZE];//UIFont *cellFont = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica-Bold" size:13.0];
CGSize constraintSize = CGSizeMake(#"Width Of Your Text-Field", MAXFLOAT);//CGSize constraintSize = CGSizeMake(220.0f, MAXFLOAT);
CGSize labelSize = [cellText sizeWithFont:cellFont constrainedToSize:constraintSize lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap];
int height = labelSize.height;
frame.origin.x = Starting Position of X;
frame.origin.y = Starting Position of Y;
frame.size.width = Width Of Your TextField;
frame.size.height = height;
UILabel *lblName = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:frame] autorelease];
lblName.numberOfLines = 0;
lblName.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
lblName.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft;
lblName.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
lblName.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
lblName.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:13.0];
And same way you can do For the Scrollview. Just you have to set the Frame of that scrollview and you are done.

Answer 3

Yes you could do something like this:
if ([textView length] > int//any number you want) {
textView.frame = CGRectMake(//just adjust the size an position here);
scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(//adjust scrollView size)
}
else if ([textView length] > int//just another number) {
// you can continue looping that for how often you want
}
For the int in the if statement you check how long the text is. Based on that you adjust the size of both the scrollView and textView.
