Static UITableView, make a single cell with dynamic height in Swift - ios

Question

I have a static UITableView which has 12 rows and for 11 rows I know what the height needs to be.
I have a UILabel which has dynamic text which sits inside the 12 row, how do i go about making just that one cell to have a dynamic height based on the text in the UILabel.
I have tried the below code inside viewDidLoad, but it didn't work. The rows remained the same height. I have also set the lines = 0 for the UILabel
tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 100.0
tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension

Answer 1

Have you tried this?
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGFloat {
if (indexPath.row < 11) {
// Everything starts at 0, so this covers 0-10
// Whatever your cell height is
return <#fixedCellHeight#>
} else {
// This is your 12th cell (indexPath.row 11), as we start counting at 0
return UITableViewAutomaticDimension
}
}

Answer 2

Adding to #Adrian answer , if you are using static Cells , changing one cell to dynamic height , and others as they are you can edit it to this .
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGFloat {
if indexPath.row == 11 {
// This is your 12th cell (indexPath.row 11), as we start counting at 0
return UITableViewAutomaticDimension
} else {
return super.tableView(tableView, heightForRowAtIndexPath: indexPath)
}
}

Answer 3

Try this:
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, estimatedHeightForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGFloat {
return UITableViewAutomaticDimension
}

Answer 4

You can create 2 cell prototype cells for the table view. You give them 2 different id.
And then in your code you override this fonction
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
var cell = UITableViewCell()
if indexPath.row < 12 {
cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("cell", forIndexPath: indexPath)
} else {
cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("cell12", forIndexPath: indexPath)
}
return cell
}

Answer 5

You Can create the dynamic cell with Text height then you can set the static and dynamic cell both in on table view
Here is link to dynamic cell with text How to change cell height dynamically in UITableView static cell

Answer 6

More elegant might be to just implement as suggested:
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, estimatedHeightForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGFloat {
return UITableViewAutomaticDimension
}
Or in Objective C:
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
return UITableViewAutomaticDimension;
}
But rather than the row specific logic, add constraints to your static cell's content in the Storyboard to keep the row heights constant. That way if you move rows or change content you don't need to change any code.
