iOS calculate text height in tableView cell

Question

i\'m currently developing on an app, which displays some tweets in a tableview. On the storyboard i created a prototype-cell, which includes the basic gui concept of a tweet

Answer 1

Try this for your issue:

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

    NSDictionary * currentTweet = [tweetArray objectAtIndex: indexPath.row];

    NSString * tweetTextString = [currentTweet objectForKey: @"text"];

    CGSize textSize = [tweetTextString sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:15.0f] constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(240, 20000) lineBreakMode: UILineBreakModeWordWrap]; //Assuming your width is 240

    float heightToAdd = MIN(textSize.height, 100.0f); //Some fix height is returned if height is small or change it to MAX(textSize.height, 150.0f); // whatever best fits for you

    return heightToAdd;
}

Hope it helps.
