Change the UIView height which is inside the UITableViewCell - ios

I am trying to change the UIView height which is inside of the tableView. UIView height should not exceed the cell height.
i was trying to set the bounds of the view but it did not effect the view.
how can i fix this and change height of view
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
UIView *view=(UIView *)[cell viewWithTag:999];
view.backgroundColor=[UIColor redColor];
[view setBounds:CGRectMake(view.bounds.origin.x, view.bounds.origin.y, view.bounds.size.width, 400)];
return cell;
}

i found another way to do it. add a identifier to the view height constraints. and i can access it in controller like this.. link -> Is there a way to add an identifier to Auto Layout Constraints in Interface Builder?

Auto-resizing table view cells with button added as subview

Hi I'm able to achieve auto-resizing table view cells (based on amount of text) by pinning textLabel's top, bottom, left and right to content view's top, bottom, left and right. I was able to get different cell height for cell with different text length. But I want to achieve same auto-resizing result with button added as subview to cell. I have added exact same contrains to button as I have it with textLabel. Any help is greatly appreciate .
Summary : Here is an hand-made example about this problem.
First, read the answer about autoresizing tableviewcell with UILabel because you will do like that with a little changes.
The difference between UILabel and UIButton is UILabel has Intrinsic Content Size based on Width and Height. So you need to subclass UIButton and override method :
-(CGSize)intrinsicContentSize {
return CGSizeMake(self.frame.size.width, self.titleLabel.frame.size.height);
}
In your CustomCell class, override method
- (void)layoutSubviews{
[super layoutSubviews]; //btnTest is your Button
[self.contentView setNeedsLayout];
self.btnTest.titleLabel.preferredMaxLayoutWidth = CGRectGetWidth(self.btnTest.titleLabel.frame);
}
In your ViewController :
- (void)configureCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath: (NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
if ([cell isKindOfClass:[TestCell class]]) {
TestCell *testCell = (TestCell *)cell;
[testCell.btnTest setTitle:#"An example autoresizing UITableViewCell height based on UIButton added as subview by Matie.An example autoresizing UITableViewCell height based on UIButton added as subview by Matie.An example autoresizing UITableViewCell height based on UIButton added as subview by Matie." forState:UIControlStateNormal];
#warning You need to have this below line, to calculate height when the first time viewDidLoad.
testCell.btnTest.titleLabel.text = #"An example autoresizing UITableViewCell height based on UIButton added as subview by Matie.An example autoresizing UITableViewCell height based on UIButton added as subview by Matie.An example autoresizing UITableViewCell height based on UIButton added as subview by Matie.";
}
}
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
[self configureCell:self.prototypeCell forRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
//
self.prototypeCell.bounds = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, CGRectGetWidth(self.tableView.bounds), CGRectGetHeight(self.prototypeCell.bounds));
[self.prototypeCell setNeedsLayout];
[self.prototypeCell layoutIfNeeded];
CGSize size = [self.prototypeCell.contentView systemLayoutSizeFittingSize:UILayoutFittingCompressedSize];
return size.height +1;
}

Outlets cannot connected to repeating content in uitableview

I'm using Two tableview cells on single tableview like dis...enter image description here
and when I put subviews on both cells it is showing Outlets cannot connected to repeating content in uitableview
You can access the views with the help "tag". First set tag to the required view then access it as follows,
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"tCell"];
//I have set CollectionView tag to 100 and Label tag to 50
UICollectionView *collect = (UICollectionView *) [cell viewWithTag:100]; //if the view is CollectionView
UILabel *lbl = (UILabel *) [cell viewWithTag:50]; //if it is a UILabel
return cell;
}

iOS 8 Draw outside of UITableViewCell bounds

thats simple I want my UILabel inside UITableViewCell draw outside of cell bounds to overlap tableHeaderView.
my tableViewView has only 1 row and tableHeaderView. I have not subclassed UITableViewCell
what I have done:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
[cell.contentView.superview setClipsToBounds:NO];
[cell.contentView setClipsToBounds:NO];
[cell setClipsToBounds:NO];
}
but still cell clips its subview.
whats your idea?
#anhtu thanks for your hint. I just sent tableHeaderView to back which fixed the problem
[self.tableView sendSubviewToBack:self.tableView.tableHeaderView];
if you have only one cell and this label will appear only one time
put label outside the table view and put constrains for it

Add left and right margin to tableview of UITableViewController

I have tableview of UITableViewController with static cells.
Now I want to add left and right margin constrain at the runtime because I can not add constrain using Interface Builder.
Thanks
You could embed a UITableView inside a UIView instead of the UIViewController. If you did this you could resize the tableview and set margins in the interface builder. Create a new UIViewController (one that doesn't have a UITableView included) then drag a new UITableView onto it. Remember to set the data source and delegate to the new UIViewController. That should do it.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
if(indexPath.row==0){
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"Cell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.textLabel.text = #"your text";
return cell;
}
if(indexPath.row==1){
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"Cell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
cell.textLabel.text = #"your text2";
return cell;
}
etc...
Not sure but May be - tableView's scrollview insets can help you-

UIView resize inside a UITableViewCell not displaying unless table is scrolled

I got a UIView inside a UITableViewCell (dynamic prototype, not sure if it's important to clarify that) with a background color and changed the view's frame with the following code (inside cellForRowAtIndexPath method):
UIView* verde = (UIView*) [cell viewWithTag:202];
verde.frame =CGRectMake(20, 30, x, y);
The problem is that when the UITableView is drawn for the first time (when the screen loads) the UIView has the original size (established by default on the original prototype from the storyboard). But when I scroll down, the cell leaves the screen, therefore reused by another cell. When scrolling back to the cell, cellForRowAtIndexPath is called again and now the frame has the correct size.
I've tried calling [verde setNeedsDisplay]; after changing the frame without success.
Disabling autolayout solved the issue as pointed out by Timothy Moose. Somehow the cells in the first draw (screen first load) retain the layout specified in the storyboard, when they leave screen and they are reused or created again the views are finally drawn with the correct frame.
Try this , Hope you can resolve the issue
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)theTableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [theTableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleValue1 reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
}
else{
[[cell.contentView viewWithTag: 202] removeFromSuperview];
}
UIView *view =[[UIView alloc]init];
view.frame = cell.contentView.frame;
view.tag = 202;
view.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];//To be sure that the custom view in the cell
[cell addSubview:view];
return cell;
}
