POUITextView not Resizing for iPhone
text
Body
copied!<p>I've published an app for the iPad and I'm working on making it universal. I have a UITextView that I want to resize to fit its contents. The TextView is created via storyboard and referenced through an IBOutlet. I read the answer to this question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50467/how-do-i-size-a-uitextview-to-its-content">How do I size a UITextView to its content?</a> and am using the code to resize the TextView. This code works perfectly on the iPad, but when I run it on the iPhone, it doesn't resize. I've been working on this problem for many hours, and it has been killing me. </p> <pre><code>//self.speciesDescription is the TextView in Question here: //set the text self.speciesDescription.text=[self.modal getdescriptionForSpecies:self.plantDisplayed]; //call the method below [self resizeTextView:self.speciesDescription]; //resizes the text view to fit the text -(void)resizeTextView:(UITextView *)textView { CGRect contentFrame=textView.frame; contentFrame.size.height=textView.contentSize.height; textView.frame=contentFrame; } </code></pre> <p>If I call initWithFrame: on the TextView before trying to resize it works fine, but it would save me bunches of time and code if I don't have to do this. Doesn't the StoryBoard call initWithFrame: automatically anyways?</p> <p><strong>edit:</strong> I ran some tests today and realized that the contentSize property of the textView always has a width of 0 and the height is over 16000. Any ideas why that might be?</p>
