在iOS 6中，苹果为UILabel添加了一个属性，极大地简化了标签的动态垂直大小调整:preferredmaxlayoutidth。

将此属性与lineBreakMode = nslinebreakbywordwrapped和sizeToFit方法结合使用，可以轻松地调整UILabel实例的大小，以容纳整个文本的高度。

引用iOS文档:

preferredMaxLayoutWidth 多行标签的首选最大宽度(以点为单位)。 讨论 当对标签应用布局约束时，此属性将影响标签的大小。在布局过程中，如果文本扩展到超出此属性指定的宽度，则附加文本将流动到一个或多个新行，从而增加标签的高度。

一个示例:

...
UILabel *status = [[UILabel alloc] init];
status.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
status.numberOfLines = 5; // limits to 5 lines; use 0 for unlimited.

[self addSubview:status]; // self here is the parent view

status.preferredMaxLayoutWidth = self.frame.size.width; // assumes the parent view has its frame already set.

status.text = @"Some quite lengthy message may go here…";
[status sizeToFit];
[status setNeedsDisplay];
...

UILabel *itemTitle = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10.0f, 10,100, 200.0f)];
itemTitle.text = @"aseruy56uiytitfesh";
itemTitle.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = NO;
itemTitle.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
itemTitle.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:18.0];
itemTitle.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
itemTitle.shadowColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
itemTitle.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 1);
itemTitle.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
itemTitle.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
itemTitle.numberOfLines = 0;
[itemTitle sizeToFit];
[self.view addSubview:itemTitle];

使用这里所有的属性都使用在标签上，并通过增加itemTitle中的文本来测试它。文本

itemTitle.text = @"diofgorigjveghnhkvjteinughntivugenvitugnvkejrfgnvkhv";

它会根据你的需要给出完美的答案

你也可以把它作为一种方法。@Pyjamasam是非常正确的，所以我只是在创建它的方法。它可能对其他人有帮助

-(CGRect)setDynamicHeightForLabel:(UILabel*)_lbl andMaxWidth:(float)_width{
    CGSize maximumLabelSize = CGSizeMake(_width, FLT_MAX);

    CGSize expectedLabelSize = [_lbl.text sizeWithFont:_lbl.font constrainedToSize:maximumLabelSize lineBreakMode:_lbl.lineBreakMode];

    //adjust the label the the new height.
    CGRect newFrame = _lbl.frame;
    newFrame.size.height = expectedLabelSize.height;
    return newFrame;
}

就像这样

label.frame = [self setDynamicHeightForLabel:label andMaxWidth:300.0];

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。

根据iOS7更新

// If description are available for protocol
protocolDescriptionLabel.text = [dataDictionary objectForKey:@"description"];
[protocolDescriptionLabel sizeToFit];
[protocolDescriptionLabel setLineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];

CGSize expectedLabelSize = [protocolDescriptionLabel
               textRectForBounds:protocolDescriptionLabel.frame
               limitedToNumberOfLines:protocolDescriptionLabel.numberOfLines].size;
NSLog(@"expectedLabelSize %f", expectedLabelSize.height);

//adjust the label the the new height.
CGRect newFrame = protocolDescriptionLabel.frame;
newFrame.size.height = expectedLabelSize.height;
protocolDescriptionLabel.frame = newFrame;

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;
}

}
