Blurry UILabel when added programmatically

Question

I am adding a UILabel to a view meant for loading purposes. However, it gets blurry after I added it. The weird thing is that I just about the same code for an loading view

Answer 1

Your label is blurry because the frame is using floating numbers.

To force integers value for your frame just do :

[loadingText setFrame:CGRectIntegral(loadingText.frame)];

You could also cast all your values composing your frame to int, but CGRectIntegral does all the job for you.

Answer 2

For those of you that couldn't use the previous answers, I found that if I turned off the autoresizingmask feature it called the setShouldRasterize method.

[loadingText setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints:NO];

thus if you comment this line out, it will display correctly

Answer 3

Apart from the float/int issue, calling setShouldRasterize on the parent view of the UILabel can also cause this problem to appear.
