With what should I replace the deprecated sizeWithFont: method?

Question

I have a method that gives me the perfect size for a UITextView given a length of string (with the corresponding correct font size) : ``` - (NSInteger) heightOfLabel:(NSString*) string { CGSize maximumLabelSize = CGSizeMake([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.width - 40, FLT_MAX); CGSize expectedLabelSize = [[NSString stringTrimmedForLeadingAndTrailingWhiteSpacesFromString:string] sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:15] constrainedToSize:maximumLabelSize lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping]; return expectedLabelSize.height + 5; } ``` In fact, it still gives me a perfect fit, even in iOS7. Although now it comes up with a warning method that says I shouldn't use 'sizeWithFont:contrainedToSize:lineBreakMode'. It now says I should be using -boundingRectWithSize:options:attributes:context: This method isn't new to iOS7 and therefore i figure that it is okay to ask it on stack overflow, rather than going across to the official apple developers forum. I have three questions: 1) Because…

Accepted Answer

After an hour of trial error I managed to make it work:

```
CGSize maximumLabelSize = CGSizeMake(tableView.width, MAXFLOAT);

NSStringDrawingOptions options = NSStringDrawingTruncatesLastVisibleLine |
                                 NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin;

NSDictionary *attr = @{NSFontAttributeName: [UIFont systemFontOfSize:15]};
CGRect labelBounds = [string boundingRectWithSize:maximumLabelSize 
                                          options:options
                                       attributes:attr
                                          context:nil];
```

Update:

As Mr. T mentions in answer below : In iOS 7 and later, this method returns fractional sizes (in the size component of the returned CGRect); to use a returned size to size views, you must use raise its value to the nearest higher integer using the ceil function. `ceilf` function is recommended to use.

```
CGFloat height = ceilf(labelBounds.size.height);
```
