Adding a subview larger than cellHeight to a UITableViewCell?

Question

I\'m trying to add a subview to a UITableViewCell and the design that I\'m working from demands that this particular subview (an image) needs to be larger than the actual UI

Answer 1

I actually had the opposite just yesterday, I had created a custom table cell and for some reason I got an overflow which I didn't want to have. My solution was to add the following code to my view controller class:

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{  
    return 175;
}

When it matched the height of the table cell there was no overlap; when it was too small there was overlap. Mind you though that I got very quicky behavious so I'm not sure it's a very good idea to do this.
