Question

Is there any way to reduce font size that can be fit in single segment of UISegmentedControl ?

Have tried many thing something like,

[[U         


        

Answer 1

I found the issue, Actually it was my mistake!!! I was setting numberOfLines,adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth,minimumScaleFactor and TitleTextAttributes toghether. If we set titleTextAttribute then minimumScaleFactor can't work.

Update : (As asked by @HawkEye1194 in comment of another answer)

I have end up with below solution,

 //this will allow multiple lines in label contained by every segment in segmentedcontroller

[[UILabel appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UISegmentedControl class], nil] setNumberOfLines:0];


UISegmentedControl *segment = [[UISegmentedControl alloc]initWithItems:option];
segment.frame = CGRectMake(20, 50, self.view.frame.size.width - 40, 50);
segment.tintColor = [UIColor grayColor];
segment.selectedSegmentIndex = 0;
segment.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
segment.tag = segmentedControllerBaseTag;


[segment addTarget:self action:@selector(segmentChanged:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];

[segment setTitleTextAttributes:@{NSFontAttributeName :[UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue" size:17.0], NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor darkGrayColor] } forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[segment setTitleTextAttributes:@{NSFontAttributeName : [UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue" size:17.0],NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor whiteColor]} forState:UIControlStateSelected];

If your not setting title textattribute as above then you can use below code

// ********** if titletextattributes are not set then below method works ***********

   for(uint i=0;i<[segment subviews].count;i++)
   {
    for(UIView *view in [[[segment subviews] objectAtIndex:i] subviews])
    {
        if([view isKindOfClass:[UILabel class]])
        {

            [(UILabel*)view setNumberOfLines:0];
            [(UILabel*)view setAdjustsFontSizeToFitWidth:YES];
            [(UILabel*)view setMinimumScaleFactor:0.7];


        }
    }
}

You can adjust single segment's size as per it's content by below code,

 //*************** adjust single segment size as per content

 segment.apportionsSegmentWidthsByContent = YES;
