How to find actual number of lines of UILabel?
None of these worked for me. Below one did,
Swift 4.2:
extension UILabel {
func calculateMaxLines() -> Int {
let maxSize = CGSize(width: frame.size.width, height: CGFloat(Float.infinity))
let charSize = font.lineHeight
let text = (self.text ?? "") as NSString
let textSize = text.boundingRect(with: maxSize, options: .usesLineFragmentOrigin, attributes: [NSAttributedString.Key.font: font], context: nil)
let linesRoundedUp = Int(ceil(textSize.height/charSize))
return linesRoundedUp
}
}
Swift 4/4.1:
extension UILabel {
func calculateMaxLines() -> Int {
let maxSize = CGSize(width: frame.size.width, height: CGFloat(Float.infinity))
let charSize = font.lineHeight
let text = (self.text ?? "") as NSString
let textSize = text.boundingRect(with: maxSize, options: .usesLineFragmentOrigin, attributes: [.font: font], context: nil)
let linesRoundedUp = Int(ceil(textSize.height/charSize))
return linesRoundedUp
}
}
Swift 3:
extension UILabel {
func calculateMaxLines() -> Int {
let maxSize = CGSize(width: frame.size.width, height: CGFloat(Float.infinity))
let charSize = font.lineHeight
let text = (self.text ?? "") as NSString
let textSize = text.boundingRect(with: maxSize, options: .usesLineFragmentOrigin, attributes: [NSFontAttributeName: font], context: nil)
let linesRoundedUp = Int(ceil(textSize.height/charSize))
return linesRoundedUp
}
}
Swift 5 (IOS 12.2)
Get max number of lines required for a label to render the text without truncation.
extension UILabel {
var maxNumberOfLines: Int {
let maxSize = CGSize(width: frame.size.width, height: CGFloat(MAXFLOAT))
let text = (self.text ?? "") as NSString
let textHeight = text.boundingRect(with: maxSize, options: .usesLineFragmentOrigin, attributes: [.font: font], context: nil).height
let lineHeight = font.lineHeight
return Int(ceil(textHeight / lineHeight))
}
}
Get max number of lines can be displayed in a label with constrained bounds. Use this property after assigning text to label.
extension UILabel {
var numberOfVisibleLines: Int {
let maxSize = CGSize(width: frame.size.width, height: CGFloat(MAXFLOAT))
let textHeight = sizeThatFits(maxSize).height
let lineHeight = font.lineHeight
return Int(ceil(textHeight / lineHeight))
}
}
Usage
print(yourLabel.maxNumberOfLines)
print(yourLabel.numberOfVisibleLines)
Firstly set text in UILabel
First Option :
Firstly calculate height for text according to font :
NSInteger lineCount = 0;
CGSize labelSize = (CGSize){yourLabel.frame.size.width, MAXFLOAT};
CGRect requiredSize = [self boundingRectWithSize:labelSize options:NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin attributes:@{NSFontAttributeName: yourLabel.font} context:nil];
Now calculate number of lines :
int charSize = lroundf(yourLabel.font.lineHeight);
int rHeight = lroundf(requiredSize.height);
lineCount = rHeight/charSize;
NSLog(@"No of lines: %i",lineCount);
Second Option :
NSInteger lineCount = 0;
CGSize textSize = CGSizeMake(yourLabel.frame.size.width, MAXFLOAT);
int rHeight = lroundf([yourLabel sizeThatFits:textSize].height);
int charSize = lroundf(yourLabel.font.lineHeight);
lineCount = rHeight/charSize;
NSLog(@"No of lines: %i",lineCount);
