iOS: Dynamic Height For UITableViewCell

Question

I\'m using iOS9 XCode7 I need to change the height of cell Dynamically according to labelText Height

I have used:

self.tableView.ro         


        

Answer 1

I'm not quite sure what this sentence means (a screenshot would've helped):

"I need to change the height of cell Dynamically according to labelText Height"

So, you have a UITableViewCell, containing a UILabel, and want each cell in your table to have a height depending on that cell's label ?

Here's the code I use.

In my UITableViewCell class, I'll define a static function to measure, and return the height of my .xib file:

@implementation MikesTableViewCell

...

+(CGSize)preferredSize
{
    static NSValue *sizeBox = nil;
    static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
    dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
        // Assumption: The XIB file name matches this UIView subclass name.
        NSString* nibName = NSStringFromClass(self);
        UINib *nib = [UINib nibWithNibName:nibName bundle:nil];

        // Assumption: The XIB file only contains a single root UIView.
        UIView *rootView = [[nib instantiateWithOwner:nil options:nil] lastObject];

        sizeBox = [NSValue valueWithCGSize:rootView.frame.size];
    });
    return [sizeBox CGSizeValue];
}

@end

Then, in my UIViewController class, I'll tell my UITableView to use this cell, find out it's height.

@property (nonatomic) float rowHeight;

UINib *cellNib = [UINib nibWithNibName:@"MikesTableViewCell" bundle:nil];
[self.tableView registerNib:cellNib forCellReuseIdentifier:@"CustomerCell"];

rowHeight = [MikesTableViewCell preferredSize].height;

...

-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    return (float)rowHeight;
}

Again, this might not be exactly what you're looking for, but I hope this helps.
