You can use the NSString sizeWithFont: methods to determine the size.

CGRect textViewFrame = textView.frame;
CGSize constrainedSize = CGSizeMake(textViewFrame.size.width, CGFLOAT_MAX);
CGSize textSize = [text sizeWithFont:textView.font constrainedToSize:constrainedSize];
CGRect newTextViewFrame = CGRectMake(textViewFrame.origin.x, textViewFrame.origin.y, textViewFrame.size.width, textSize.height);
textView.frame = newTextViewFrame;

"is there a way where we can change the color of the first word in that textview". No. You can only set the text attributes for the UITextView as a whole. – jbat100 Nov 09 '11 at 16:46
textView is the object of UITextView right – raptor85 Nov 09 '11 at 16:47
Correct. textView is an instance of UITextView – jaminguy Nov 09 '11 at 16:50
