How to get the correct width of a UILabel after the text has been set?
You should use [label sizeToFit]
sizeToFit on label will stretch the label to accommodate the text.
The other solution is to calculate the width of the string and reframe the label based on the strings width.
For the second solution you can calculate the size of string as
CGSize strSize = CGSizeZero;CGSize minSize = CGSizeZero;if([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7.0){ NSAttributedString *attributedText = [[[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:text attributes:@{NSFontAttributeName: label.font}] autorelease]; CGRect rect = [attributedText boundingRectWithSize:constraintSize options:NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin context:nil]; strSize = rect.size;}else{ strSize = [text sizeWithFont:label.font constrainedToSize:constraintSize];}
