Easy Variable Height Table Cells

[dougdrury]

I was trying to find a clean way to change the cell height based on a large variable length label I have in a custom cell. I found this and it worked like a charm.

Apple - Support - Discussions - UITableView variable row height ...

Note sponnos post (second from the bottom):

- (CGFloat) tableView: (UITableView *) tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath: (NSIndexPath *) indexPath
{
    // Use the method that you would have created above to get the cell.
    // Any other method seems to result in infinite recursion like you said.
    TweetCell *cell = (TweetCell*)[self tableView:tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
	
	NSString *text = cell.textView.text; //[[menuList objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:@"status"];
	CGFloat height = [text sizeWithFont:cell.textView.font constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(240,70) lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap].height;
	//return MAX(height, MinHeight);
	
	return height+30; 
}

hey thanks a lot for this great idea..we can also implement this by another way just pasting the code..


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

NSString *text = [[videoCommentArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]getVideoComment];
CGFloat height = [text sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:10] constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(240,300) lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap].height;


return height+60;
}

I had done it for custom cell only and getVideoComment is the method from where i got a string.
