Question

I\'ve spent several days trying to figure this out, but there doesn\'t seem to be a solution. I have a very basic UITableView cell with two labels in it. One of them will be

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{


    NSString *firstLable = firstLable.text;
    NSString *secondLable = SecondLable.text;



    CGSize constraint = CGSizeMake(cell.frame.size.width/2, 20000.0f);
    NSMutableParagraphStyle *paragraphStyle = [[NSMutableParagraphStyle alloc] init];
    paragraphStyle.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
    CGRect firstLableRect = [firstLable boundingRectWithSize:constraint
                       options:NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin
                       attributes:@{NSFontAttributeName:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Your App Font" size:16.0f],      
                        NSParagraphStyleAttributeName: paragraphStyle.copy} context:nil];

    float max = MAX(firstLableRect.size.height, secondLableRect.size.height) + 20;


    //20 for spacing 10 pc above and 10 pc below 


    return max ;
