How to calculate the Width and Height of NSString on UILabel - objective-c

Question

I am working on a project to make the NSString on UILabel Width and Height dynamically.
I tried with:
NSString *text = [messageInfo objectForKey:#"compiled"];
writerNameLabel.numberOfLines = 0;
writerNameLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentRight;
writerNameLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
CGSize constraint = CGSizeMake(296,9999);
CGSize size = [text sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:FONT_SIZE]
constrainedToSize:constraint
lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap];
NSLog(#"sizewidth = %f, sizeheight = %f", size.width, size.height);
NSLog(#"writerNameLabel.frame.size.width 1 -> %f",writerNameLabel.frame.size.width);
[writerNameLabel setFrame:CGRectMake(writerNameLabel.frame.origin.x, writerNameLabel.frame.origin.y, size.width, size.height)];
CGRect labelFram = writerNameLabel.frame;
labelFram.origin.x = cell.frame.size.width - writerNameLabel.frame.size.width - 80;
writerNameLabel.frame = labelFram;
NSLog(#"writerNameLabel.frame.size.width 2-> %f",writerNameLabel.frame.size.width);
Please see the green bubble not the grey one.
Still not right.
The code for bubble
bubbleImageView.frame = CGRectMake(writerNameLabel.frame.origin.x, writerNameLabel.frame.origin.y, writerNameLabel.frame.size.width+15, writerNameLabel.frame.size.height+5);
Please Advise! Thanks!

That's because you did not reuse the table cell, the structure should be like:
NSString *text = [messageInfo objectForKey:#"compiled"];
if(cell == nil)
{
writerNameLabel.numberOfLines = 0;
writerNameLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentRight;
writerNameLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[cell addSubview:writerNameLabel];
}
else {
writerNameLabel = (UILabel *)[cell viewWithTag:WRITER_NAME_LABEL_TAG];
}
CGSize constraint = CGSizeMake(296,9999);
CGSize size = [text sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:FONT_SIZE]
constrainedToSize:constraint
lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap];
[writerNameLabel setFrame:CGRectMake(writerNameLabel.frame.origin.x, writerNameLabel.frame.origin.y, size.width, size.height)];
I've been gone through and answered some of your question, that's correct way to write your tableview controller. And your problem will be solved.
