Set the Text in the UILablel both vertically and horizontally centered without changing the frame

Question

As stated in the Title , I would like to center the Text in a UILabel both horizontally and vertically ..
I can vertically align it if i call size to fit and horizontally align it through setAdjustsFontSizeToFitWidth But using both together seem to counteract one another ..

The green part is the UILabel and the red is the text ..

enter image description here

I would like to vertically align the text as seen in the image
Thanks !

Try to implement this logic:


-(void)adjustLabel1Text1:(NSString *)text1 
{
    UILabel *lbl_first = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:12];



    text1 = [text1 stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];


    float hedingLblHeight = [self calculateHeightOfTextFromWidth:text1 : [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:12] :118 :UILineBreakModeWordWrap];

    lbl_first.text=text1;


    [lbl_first setFrame:CGRectMake(lbl_first.frame.origin.x, lbl_first.frame.origin.y, 118, hedingLblHeight)];
    lbl_first.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
    lbl_first.numberOfLines = 0;
    [lbl_first sizeToFit];




//////////Adjust the lable or any UIControl below this label accordingly.

    float endResultHeight=[self calculateHeightOfTextFromWidth:text2 : [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:15] :299 :UILineBreakModeWordWrap];

    if(hedingLblHeight>secondImgTitleHeight)
    {
    [lbl_endResult setFrame:CGRectMake(lbl_endResult.frame.origin.x, lbl_first.frame.origin.y+lbl_first.frame.size.height+5, 299, endResultHeight)];
    }
    else
    {
        [lbl_endResult setFrame:CGRectMake(lbl_endResult.frame.origin.x, lbl_first.frame.origin.y+lbl_first.frame.size.height+5, 299, endResultHeight)];

    }

    lbl_endResult.lineBreakMode=UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
    lbl_endResult.numberOfLines = 0;
    [lbl_endResult sizeToFit];



}

-(float) calculateHeightOfTextFromWidth:(NSString*)text : (UIFont*) withFont:(float)width :(UILineBreakMode)lineBreakMode
{

    CGSize suggestedSize = [text sizeWithFont:withFont constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(width, FLT_MAX) lineBreakMode:lineBreakMode];

    return suggestedSize.height;
}

It has helped me a lot.Hope it works for you.
