iOS8: Possible to use “tableview.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension” for static cells?

Question

I have a UITableView that has five static cells. I need the cell height of one cell to adjust automatically to its contents, which is one UILabel.

Is there any way I

Answer 1

I was looking for an answer to this as well and found this solution, which i tested and works perfectly in iOS8.

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    if (indexPath.row == 2)  //Dynamic Height
    {
        return UITableViewAutomaticDimension;
    }
    else 
    {
        return 50;  // Static Height
    }
}

Answer 2

For iOS 8, I found out that you cannot do the same strategy as for Dynamic Table View Cell.

To automatically adjust the height of static cells, I implement these two UITableViewDelegate methods:

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

-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView estimatedHeightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    return 44;
}

Hope it helps.
