increase uitableviewcell height simultaneously increasing the inner UITextView

Question

I create a UITableView with different types of UITableViewCell depending on the type of content to display. One of this is a UITableViewCell

Answer 1

Siba Prasad Hota's code probably will do the trick (You need reference to table view from cell level), but I have another, longer approach. I always do such stuff in this way, because I like to have all things separated (MVC pattern). If I were You, I would do this like that (code from head):

Cell parent protocol:

@protocol CellParent 
@required
@property (nonatomic, strong) UITableView *tableView;
@end

Cell model:

@interface CellModel
@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL hasTextView;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *textViewContent;
-(float)getCurrentHeightForCell;//implement calculating current height of cell. probably     2 * SOME_MARGIN + height of temporary textView with textViewContent variable

Cell

@interface MyCell
@property (nonatomic, strong) CellModel *dataModel;
@property (nonatomic, weak) id parent;
@property (nonatomic, strong) UITextView *textView;
- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style andModel:(CellModel*) model;

with implementations like this:

(id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style andModel:(CellModel*) model
{
    self = [super initWithStyle:style reuseIdentifier:@"MyCell"];
    if (self) 
    {
        [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"MyCell" owner:self options:nil];
        self.dataModel = model;
    }
    return self;
}


-(void) setDataModel:(CellModel *)dataModel
{
    _dataModel = dataModel;
    if(_dataModel.hasTextView)
    {
        //show text view
    }
    else
    {
        //hide text view
    }
    //do other cell modifications
}

-(BOOL)textView:(UITextView *)textView shouldChangeTextInRange:(NSRange)range replacementText:(NSString *)text 
{
    self.dataModel.textViewContent = textView.text;
    [self.parent.tableView beginUpdates];
    [self.parent.tableView endUpdates];
    return YES;
}

Controller with table view

-(UITableViewCell*) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{  
    MyCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"MyCell"];
    if (cell == nil) 
    {
        cell = [[MyCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault andModel:          [self.cellsModels objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
    }
    cell.dataModel = [self.cellsModels objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    cell.parent = self;
    return cell;
}

-(CGFloat) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath     *)indexPath
{
    return [((CellModel*)[self.tableContentArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]) getCurrentHeightForCell];
}
