Calculating proper size of label for given string

Question

I have problem with calculating rect from given string.

Here are my strings:

_name = @"Any veryveryveryvery key here:";
_value = @"Any very very very very long value";

and my layoutSubviews method:

- (void)layoutSubviews {
    [super layoutSubviews];

    CGRect rect = self.contentView.bounds;
    CGFloat verticalMargin = 5.0f;

    //calculate rect for given name string:
    CGFloat halfScreen = CGRectGetMidX(rect); //160points in portrait

    //_nameLabel:
    CGRect nameRect =
    [_name boundingRectWithSize:CGSizeMake(halfScreen, CGRectGetHeight(rect))
                        options:(NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin | NSStringDrawingUsesFontLeading)
                     attributes:@{NSFontAttributeName: [UIFont fontWithName:kHelveticaFont size:_nameLabel.font.pointSize]}
                        context:nil];

    //name rect = origin=(x=0, y=0) size=(width=147.53174, height=34.5) - WHY width = 147.53174 NOT halfScreen = 160points?

    [_nameLabel setFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f,
                                    verticalMargin,
                                    ceilf(CGRectGetWidth(nameRect)),
                                    CGRectGetHeight(rect) - verticalMargin * 2)];

    //calculate rect for given value string:
    //_valueLabel:
    CGFloat maxWidth = CGRectGetWidth(rect) - CGRectGetMaxX(_nameLabel.frame); //172points in portrait
    CGRect valueRect =
    [_value boundingRectWithSize:CGSizeMake(maxWidth, CGRectGetHeight(rect))
                         options:(NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin | NSStringDrawingUsesFontLeading)
                      attributes:@{NSFontAttributeName: [UIFont fontWithName:kHelveticaFont size: _valueLabel.font.pointSize]}
                         context:nil];
    //valueRect = origin=(x=0, y=0) size=(width=160.03418, height=34.5) - WHY width = 160.03418 NOT maxWidth = 172 points?

    [_valueLabel setFrame:CGRectMake(CGRectGetMaxX(_nameLabel.frame),
                                     verticalMargin,
                                     ceilf(CGRectGetWidth(valueRect)),
                                     CGRectGetHeight(rect) - verticalMargin * 2)];

}

And result:

Yellow background is half Width of Screen (160 points). Green background is another 160 points. I want to have _nameLabel with max size equal to half screen width. Anyone has ANY idea how to calculate it properly? Question are also commented in code. Thank you in advance for help.

NOTE: I'm developing an app only for iOS7.

EDIT: Note, that if _name will be much shorter, for example "key", i want to have _valueLabel next to _nameLabel like this (and it works as it should):

Answer 1

I solved my problem. Actually I dived deep in apple documentation and the problem was generated by this argument:

NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin // which means: The specified origin is the line fragment origin, not the base line origin

in line:

options:(NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin | NSStringDrawingUsesFontLeading)

Thats why method:

 (CGRect)boundingRectWithSize:options:attributes:context:

gave me wrong rect dimensions. Now everything works as should.
