Autosize UILabel

Question

Is there a way to auto size a UILabel? given size 40 x 40 the text font size would adjust based on the number of characters.

Answer 1

uhm, did you check out the UILabel API http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/uikit/reference/UILabel_Class/Reference/UILabel.html there's a neat property called adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth

Answer 2

You can use the adjustFontSizeToFitWidth property. So something like this.

UILabel *myLabel = [[UILabel alloc] init];
[myLabel setAdjustFontSizeToFitWidth:YES];

In Interface Builder there is a check box on the Label Attributes screen to allow you to adjust the font size to fit the label as well.
