Jerky Scrolling After Updating UITableViewCell in place with UITableViewAutomaticDimension

Question

I am building an app that has a feed view for user-submitted posts. This view has a UITableView with a custom UITableViewCell implementation. Insid

Answer 1

Following @dosdos answer.

I also found interesting to implement: tableView(tableView: didEndDisplayingCell: forRowAtIndexPath:

Specially for my code, where the cell is changing Constraints dynamically while the cell is already displayed on screen. Updating the Dictionary like this helps the second time the cell is displayed.

var heightAtIndexPath = [NSIndexPath : NSNumber]()

....

tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension
tableView.estimatedRowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension

....

extension TableViewViewController: UITableViewDelegate {

    //MARK: - UITableViewDelegate

    func tableView(tableView: UITableView,
                   estimatedHeightForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGFloat {

        let height = heightAtIndexPath[indexPath]

        if let height = height {

            return CGFloat(height)
        }
        else {

            return UITableViewAutomaticDimension
        }
    }

    func tableView(tableView: UITableView,
                   willDisplayCell cell: UITableViewCell,
                                   forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {

        let height: NSNumber = CGRectGetHeight(cell.frame)
        heightAtIndexPath[indexPath] = height
    }

    func tableView(tableView: UITableView,
                   didEndDisplayingCell cell: UITableViewCell,
                                        forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {

        let height: NSNumber = CGRectGetHeight(cell.frame)
        heightAtIndexPath[indexPath] = height
    }
}
