iOS7 UITextView contentsize.height alternative

With this following code, you can change the height of your UITextView depending of a fixed width (it’s working on iOS 7 and previous version) :

- (CGFloat)textViewHeightForAttributedText:(NSAttributedString *)text andWidth:(CGFloat)width
{
    UITextView *textView = [[UITextView alloc] init];
    [textView setAttributedText:text];
    CGSize size = [textView sizeThatFits:CGSizeMake(width, FLT_MAX)];
    return size.height;
}

With this function, you will take a NSAttributedString and a fixed width to return the height needed.

If you want to calculate the frame from a text with a specific font you, need to use the following code :

- (CGSize)text:(NSString *)text sizeWithFont:(UIFont *)font constrainedToSize:(CGSize)size
{
    if (SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(@"7.0"))
    {
        CGRect frame = [text boundingRectWithSize:size
                                          options:(NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin | NSStringDrawingUsesFontLeading)
                                       attributes:@{NSFontAttributeName:font}
                                          context:nil];
        return frame.size;
    }
    else
    {
        return [text sizeWithFont:font constrainedToSize:size];
    }
}

You can add that SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO on your prefix.pch file in your project as:

#define SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(v)  ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] compare:v options:NSNumericSearch] != NSOrderedAscending)

You can also replace the previous test SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(v) by :

if ([text respondsToSelector:@selector(boundingRectWithSize:options:attributes:context:)])‌
