此方法适用于iOS 6和7

- (float)heightForLabelSize:(CGSize)maximumLabelSize  Font:(UIFont *)font String:(NSString*)string {

if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7) {
    NSDictionary *stringAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:font forKey: NSFontAttributeName];

    CGSize adjustedLabelSize = [string maximumLabelSize
                                                                  options:NSStringDrawingTruncatesLastVisibleLine|NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin
                                                               attributes:stringAttributes context:nil].size;
    return adjustedLabelSize.height;
}
else {
    CGSize adjustedLabelSize = [string sizeWithFont:font constrainedToSize:maximumLabelSize lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];

    return adjustedLabelSize.height;
}

}

你可以通过以下方式实现TableViewController的(UITableViewCell *)tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath方法(例如):

#define CELL_LABEL_TAG 1

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView  cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    NSString *text = @"my long text";

    static NSString *MyIdentifier = @"MyIdentifier";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:MyIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero  reuseIdentifier:identifier] autorelease];
    }

    CGFloat width = [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width - 50;
    CGFloat height = [self textHeight:text] + 10;
    CGRect frame = CGRectMake(10.0f, 10.0f, width, height);

    UILabel *cellLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
    cellLabel.tag = CELL_LABEL_TAG;
    cellLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    cellLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    cellLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft;
    cellLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:12.0f];
    [cell.contentView addSubview:cellLabel];
    [cellLabel release];

    return cell;
}

UILabel *label = (UILabel *)[cell viewWithTag:CELL_LABEL_TAG];
label.text = text;
label.numberOfLines = 0;
[label sizeToFit];
return cell;

也可以使用NSString的sizeWithFont:constrainedToSize:lineBreakMode:方法来计算文本的高度。

此方法适用于iOS 6和7

- (float)heightForLabelSize:(CGSize)maximumLabelSize  Font:(UIFont *)font String:(NSString*)string {

if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7) {
    NSDictionary *stringAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:font forKey: NSFontAttributeName];

    CGSize adjustedLabelSize = [string maximumLabelSize
                                                                  options:NSStringDrawingTruncatesLastVisibleLine|NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin
                                                               attributes:stringAttributes context:nil].size;
    return adjustedLabelSize.height;
}
else {
    CGSize adjustedLabelSize = [string sizeWithFont:font constrainedToSize:maximumLabelSize lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];

    return adjustedLabelSize.height;
}

}

由于sizeWithFont已弃用，我使用这个代替。

这个得到标签特定属性。

-(CGFloat)heightForLabel:(UILabel *)label withText:(NSString *)text{

    NSAttributedString *attributedText = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:text attributes:@{NSFontAttributeName:label.font}];
    CGRect rect = [attributedText boundingRectWithSize:(CGSize){label.frame.size.width, CGFLOAT_MAX}
                                           options:NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin
                                           context:nil];

    return ceil(rect.size.height);
}

您可以在设计时在Storyboard/XIB中这样做，而不是通过编程来完成。

在属性检查器中将UIlabel的行数属性设置为0。 然后根据需要设置宽度约束/(或)前导和后导约束。 然后用最小值设置高度约束。最后选择你添加的高度约束，在大小检查器属性检查器旁边，改变高度约束的关系从等于-大于。

NSString *str = @"Please enter your text......";
CGSize lblSize = [str sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:15] constrainedToSize: CGSizeMake(200.0f, 600.0f) lineBreakMode: NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];

UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc]init];
label.frame = CGRectMake(60, 20, 200, lblSize.height);
label.numberOfLines = 0;
label.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
label.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:15];
label.text = str;
label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[label sizeToFit];
[self.view addSubview:label];
