iOS Objective-C dynamic cell height iOS 7 issue - ios

Question

I am creating an application with iOS 7 devices. This application contains UITableView with dynamic cell height.
To create this I have a custom cell which contains methods:
- (CGFloat)heightWithModel:(Model *)model
{
CGFloat height = 0.0f;
height = self.contentLabel.frame.origin.y + [self contentHeightWithModel:model] + CellBottomOffset;
return height;
}
and...
- (CGFloat)contentHeightWithModel:(Model *)model
{
CGFloat height = 0.0;
NSDictionary *attributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:14.0f] forKey:NSFontAttributeName];
NSString *string = model.content;
NSStringDrawingContext *context = nil;
NSStringDrawingOptions options = NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin;
CGSize size = CGSizeMake(self.contentLabel.bounds.size.width, CGFLOAT_MAX);
CGRect frame = [string boundingRectWithSize:size options:options attributes:attributes context:context];
height = frame.size.height;
return height;
}
In my view controller, I have implemented UITableViewDelegate protocol method:
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
CGFloat height;
static Cell *cell;
if (!cell)
{
cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellReuseIdentifier];
}
height = [cell heightWithModel:[self.dataSource.models objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
return height;
}
As far as I understand, this should be enough to create a table view with dynamic cell height. Despite this, I have a table view like this:
As you see, part of text are hidden, because label (red one) height is too small. Cell height is set dynamically by using Auto Layout (10 px from the bottom).
Can anyone see where is the problem?

Answer 1

First take a variable
CGFloat height;
put this lines in viewdidload method
in that set estimated height of cell and for that label set lines to 0 in inspector panel and change its height = to >= and give constraint from all side
[self.tbl_rating layoutIfNeeded];
[self.tbl_rating setNeedsLayout];
if (NSFoundationVersionNumber > NSFoundationVersionNumber_iOS_7_1 )
{
self.tbl_rating.estimatedRowHeight=153.0f;
self.tbl_rating.rowHeight=UITableViewAutomaticDimension;
}
Now put this two method for finding label height and dynamic cell height increment
In this method set your label text that you retriving from like array or web service
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
// 7.1>
if (NSFoundationVersionNumber <= NSFoundationVersionNumber_iOS_7_1 ) {
height=[self findHeightForText:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[[arr_review valueForKey:#"desc"]objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]] havingWidth:self.view.frame.size.width andFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:12.0f]].height;
return 153+height;
}
return UITableViewAutomaticDimension;
}
-(CGSize)findHeightForText:(NSString *)text havingWidth:(CGFloat)widthValue andFont:(UIFont *)font {
CGSize size = CGSizeZero;
if (text) {
CGRect frame = [text boundingRectWithSize:CGSizeMake(widthValue, CGFLOAT_MAX) options:NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin attributes:#{ NSFontAttributeName:font } context:nil];
size = CGSizeMake(frame.size.width, ceil(frame.size.height));
}
return size;
}
NOTE: In tableview method heightForRowAtIndexPath I recommand you pass text from array value. If this thing doesnt work then check your constraints.
This thing works for me Hope it will work.
Thank you.
