当自动布局被启用时，调整大小不工作:)

问题是，没有提到的函数是可靠的，一些字符串和字体将返回不正确的高度值。尤其是带属性的文本。

唯一可行的解决方案是:https://stackoverflow.com/a/4214978/699944，重点是使用CoreText手动计算每一行的高度，以获得正确的大小。没有其他已知的方法可以做到这一点。

我计算UILabel动态高度的方法。

    let width = ... //< width of this label 
    let text = ... //< display content

    label.numberOfLines = 0
    label.lineBreakMode = .byWordWrapping
    label.preferredMaxLayoutWidth = width

    // Font of this label.
    //label.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17.0)
    // Compute intrinsicContentSize based on font, and preferredMaxLayoutWidth
    label.invalidateIntrinsicContentSize() 
    // Destination height
    let height = label.intrinsicContentSize.height

包装功能:

func computeHeight(text: String, width: CGFloat) -> CGFloat {
    // A dummy label in order to compute dynamic height.
    let label = UILabel()

    label.numberOfLines = 0
    label.lineBreakMode = .byWordWrapping
    label.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17.0)

    label.preferredMaxLayoutWidth = width
    label.text = text
    label.invalidateIntrinsicContentSize()

    let height = label.intrinsicContentSize.height
    return 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。

基于Swift 4及以上答案的UILabel扩展

extension UILabel {

    func retrieveTextHeight () -> CGFloat {
        let attributedText = NSAttributedString(string: self.text!, attributes: [NSFontAttributeName:self.font])

        let rect = attributedText.boundingRect(with: CGSize(width: self.frame.size.width, height: CGFloat.greatestFiniteMagnitude), options: .usesLineFragmentOrigin, context: nil)

        return ceil(rect.size.height)
    }

}

可以这样使用:

self.labelHeightConstraint.constant = self.label.retrieveTextHeight()
