How to set UILabel only width and height and constraints programmatically


To create label with height and width constraints here is the constraints...And don't forget to add label in to view with addSubview method

UILabel *Label = [[UILabel alloc] init];[Label setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints:NO];  [self.view addSubview:Label];// Width constraint[Label addConstraint:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:Label                                                      attribute:NSLayoutAttributeWidth                                                      relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual                                                         toItem:nil                                                      attribute: NSLayoutAttributeNotAnAttribute                                                     multiplier:1                                                       constant:200]];// Height constraint[Label addConstraint:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:Label                                                      attribute:NSLayoutAttributeHeight                                                      relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual                                                         toItem:nil                                                      attribute: NSLayoutAttributeNotAnAttribute                                                     multiplier:1                                                       constant:21]];

Swift 4:

label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = falselabel.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: label, attribute: .height, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: nil, attribute: .notAnAttribute, multiplier: 1, constant: 21))label.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: label, attribute: .width, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: nil, attribute: .notAnAttribute, multiplier: 1, constant: 200))

And In Swift

 Label.setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints(false) self.view.addSubview(Label) Label.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: Label, attribute: .Height, relatedBy: .Equal, toItem: nil, attribute: .NotAnAttribute, multiplier: 1, constant: 21)) Label.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: Label, attribute: .Width, relatedBy: .Equal, toItem: nil, attribute: .NotAnAttribute, multiplier: 1, constant: 200))

i try this method to change height as text length in your label.

put viewdidload

[yourlabel setNumberOfLines:0];    CGRect mainframe = _lbl_board.frame;    mainframe.size.height =  [self getLabelHeight:yourlabel];    yourlabel.frame = mainframe;

method

- (CGFloat)getLabelHeight:(UILabel*)label{    CGSize constraint = CGSizeMake(label.frame.size.width, CGFLOAT_MAX);    CGSize size;    NSStringDrawingContext *context = [[NSStringDrawingContext alloc] init];    CGSize boundingBox = [label.text boundingRectWithSize:constraint                                                  options:NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin                                               attributes:@{NSFontAttributeName:label.font}                                                  context:context].size;    size = CGSizeMake(ceil(boundingBox.width), ceil(boundingBox.height));    return size.height;}


In Swift 3 : (just replace .Height by .height and .Equal by .equal)

self.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: self, attribute: .height, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: nil, attribute: .notAnAttribute, multiplier: 1, constant: 35))
