Adding additional space to UILabel to insert image

I have an issue with adding image in the end of the text of the UILabel. How can I detect the size of the text in the label, then add additional space and insert image into it?

i write a little code for this:

-(void) labelSizeGetter
{
    UILabel * mylabel=[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 0, 0)];

    float heigth=25.0;//max height value of label.

    NSString *yourString = @"My great text";

    mylabel.font =[UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica-Bold" size:12];

    [mylabel setText:yourString];

    CGSize s = [mylabel.text sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:12] 
                        constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(MAXFLOAT,heigth)
                            lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];

    // s is a size for text of label. just add 10 pix to width to make it more beautiful.

    NSLog(@"%@", NSStringFromCGSize(s));

    mylabel.frame=CGRectMake(0, 0, s.width+10, s.height);

    [self.view addSubview:mylabel];

    UIView * myimage=[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(mylabel.frame.origin.x+mylabel.frame.size.width , mylabel.frame.origin.y, 30, 30)];//create your images frame according to frame of your label

    myimage.backgroundColor =[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"arti.png"]];

    [self.view addSubview:myimage];

}

i hope it helps

  1. Create some container UIView if you need or just use superview
  2. Put there UILabel and UIImageView
  3. Calculate a size of the text using [NSString sizeWithFont:] or similar sizeWith... method
  4. Calculate position of your UIImageView according to a size of the text

There is a category on NSString that returns the size of a string when rendered with a given font. There are several methods, the most complete on being - (CGSize)sizeWithFont:(UIFont *)font minFontSize:(CGFloat)minFontSize actualFontSize:(CGFloat *)actualFontSize forWidth:(CGFloat)width lineBreakMode:(UILineBreakMode)lineBreakMode (see Apple Docs).

With that information you might be able to achieve what you want to do.

Here is a code snippet which gives you size adjustable for specific font and specific font size. Accordingly you can set frame for your label and then image view as well.

- (CGSize)getSizeFromText:(NSString*)text {

    CGSize constrainedSize;

    constrainedSize.width = give maximum allowable width limit;

    constrainedSize.height = MAXFLOAT;

    CGSize size = [text sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:fontSize] constrainedToSize:constrainedSize lineBreakMode: UILineBreakModeWordWrap];

    return size;
}

Hope this would help you to solve your problem.

If you dont want to use a UIView. Why not check the length of the string in the label. then add some additional space for your image using frame. [UILabel.text length] returns the length.

Best Way is take one UIView.

And Add Both UILabel And UIImageView on This UIView (give Fram as per your Requirement).

And This UIView to your MainView of UIViewController.
