The difference is that android:lineSpacingExtra add extra spacing between lines of text of TextView and android:lineSpacingMultiplier work as scale factor for height of line space. in other words, each line height will be height*multiplier + extra
Objective-C NSInteger strLength = [myString length]; NSMutableParagraphStyle *style = [[NSMutableParagraphStyle alloc] init]; [style setLineSpacing:24]; [attString addAttribute:NSParagraphStyleAttributeName value:style range:NSMakeRange(0, strLength)]; Swift 5 let strLength = myString.length() var style = NSMutableParagraphStyle() style.lineSpacing = 24 attString.addAttribute(.paragraphStyle, value: style, range: NSRange(location: 0, length: strLength))
Edit: Evidently NSAttributedString will do it, on iOS 6 and later. Instead of using an NSString to set the label’s text, create an NSAttributedString, set attributes on it, then set it as the .attributedText on the label. The code you want will be something like this: NSMutableAttributedString* attrString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@”Sample text”]; NSMutableParagraphStyle *style … Read more

In Xcode 6 you can do this in the storyboard:
