adding ScrollView to my viewController

Question

My label.text is very huge. I have ensured that my label will contain any amount of text. I just want my view controller to be scrolled so that I can read my label.

I think it's possible with storyboard itself, but I'm not able to do it.

I tried "editor -> embed in -> scroll view". I also tried adding scrollview to my view controller but nothing worked.

no i just want the entire view controller to be scrollable :) i know textview will help. but i need this — Parthasaarathy Sudarsan, Dec 30 '15 at 09:19
One way to do it is adjust the frame of the of uitextview to contain the entire text . check http://stackoverflow.com/questions/50467/how-do-i-size-a-uitextview-to-its-content for furthur help . — Kiran Ruth R, Dec 30 '15 at 09:21
drag a scrollview to the screen, then drag a label as a subview of that scrollview — Twitter khuong291, Dec 30 '15 at 09:27

Maybe you can set the label's property numberOfLines is 0. A Value of 0 means no limit. The text will truncated using the line break mode.

Please specify more for Whole ViewController scrollable means ..

If you add textView then also your view controller is scrollable if you have scroll view in Main view of View Controller.

Nested scroll works very well and scroll whichever scrollview is dragged by user.

And if you want your UILabel scrollable then you need to set ContentSize of scrollView whenever you change Content(text) of UILabel, and don't forget to set Number Of Lines 0 of your UILabel.

Add scrollview from storyboard to your main view in ViewController. and set scrollview size to fully cover main view . – dev_m Dec 30 '15 at 17:03
