Question

tl;dr: Can I cause the detailTextLabel to have its size updated by the auto layout system in iOS on a value change?

Has anyone else had issues with the detailText l

Answer 1

I have same problem with cell not updating correctly when using segue in storyboard. Tried

[setNeedsLayout] and [layoutIfNeeded]

on the view and the tableview and it is NOT working.

[self.tableView reloadData] is in viewDidAppear, as it should.

Then I tried the advice from pixbug, and it worked. But one should NOT use [layoutSubviews] directly. So I tried the ones that is adviced by the documents on the cell instead of tableView or the view.

Tried

[cell setNeedsLayout] 

but this did NOT work.

Tried

[cell layoutIfNeeded] 

this WORKED for me.

I put this before returning the cell.
