Set UIView size to fit subViews

Question

I\'m having a UIView that\'s containing two UILabels, which have dynamic heights. I want the UIView to fit the size of the UILabels + some padding.

Answer 1

@Girish M answer is correct. Just to clarify. Set the top label's constraint to the views' top, vertical spacing between the two labels and a bottom constraint between the bottom label and UIView. Do not set any height constraints.

Alternatively, if you want a bit more control over the heights of the UILabels, you can add height constraints in storyboard for the labels and create outlets for them in your code. Perform this code when changing the text of the labels.

    label1.sizeToFit()
    label2.sizeToFit()

    label1HeightConstraint.constant = label1.frame.size.height
    label2HeightConstraint.constant = label2.frame.size.height

    view.layoutSubviews()
