How to make the cell height fit the screen - ios

I have a UITableView and there are 10 rows (This is a dynamic table, so more rows will be loaded).
Each cell/row should have the height of the full screen. There are different screen sizes in iOS now.
Therefore i am not able to give a fixed height for cell row as iOS devices have varying heights.
So how can I make a cell height to fit the screen height ?

If your tableView is in a ViewController then you can use this code below:
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
return CGRectGetHeight(self.view.bounds);
}
Else if your screen covers full screen, then use this
return CGRectGetHeight([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]);
Else if your screen contains a Navigation Bar as well, then use
return CGRectGetHeight([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds] - 64.0f);
Or the Best Solution would be perhaps
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
return CGRectGetHeight(tableView.bounds);
}
Edited
Its better to use rowHeight property instead of the delegate. Reason discussed below:
There are performance implications to using
tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath: instead of rowHeight. Every
time a table view is displayed, it calls
tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath: on the delegate for each of its
rows, which can result in a significant performance problem with table
views having a large number of rows (approximately 1000 or more).

How about this?
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
return self.view.frame.size.height-yourTableViewStartingYPosition;
}
If it's full screen it will be return self.view.frame.size.height

How to increase UITableView Height Dynamically When number of cell is increased using Objective C?

I am new to iOS. I have implemented a table view which is populated with array values successfully, but I'm not satisfied with the result. When I scroll my table view the top values are hiding.
Here is my problem: based on the cell height the table view height should also get increased dynamically in UITableview. How can I accomplish that?
For UITableViewCell dynamic height you can use following delegate by return UITableViewAutomaticDimension
-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView estimatedHeightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
return 300; //give maximum heigh you want
}
-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
return UITableViewAutomaticDimension;
}
and to increase tableview height based on content size use the below line of code
YOUR_TABLE_VIEW_HEIGHT_CONSTRAINT.constant = [YOUR_TABLE_VIEW contentSize].height;
Hope this will help you

Too much space between cells

I'm having trouble with reducing the spacing between my cells, I want it to be 1 px. Inside my cell I have a stackView which fills my entire cell, both set to 70.
I can accomplish almost what I want by adding negative constrains, but then my cells gets too big, I only want it to be 70. I set the cell to 70 in the custom cell class
self.frame.size.height = 70
And my stackView is set to the very same. I don't see why I get that amount of spacing between my cells?
Please use the below method to adjust the cell height;
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
return 78;
}
1) Between 2 cells of table view always has no space
2) You set self.frame.size.height = 70 in your custom cell. But it will be useless ! Try this datasource method
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
3) Please check the height of the white view

iOS8 automatic tableviewheight wrong on first cells

I'm using Autolayout on iOS 8 and make use of UITableViewRowAnimationAutomatic and all of its magic.
When the Tableview appears the cells have a wrong height and the subviews are distributed over the whole cell with a lot of horizontal space between them. When I scroll down or rotate the device and back alls cells are drawn correctly with the correct size.
Debugger says no error and Autolayout warnings are not present.
These cells are only drawn on iPad and I have specified only for sizeclass (Regular | Regular).
Do you any hints what could be the problem?
There are three things that you need to make sure you are doing...
The AutoLayout Constraints should cover the entire height of the cell. So just by looking at the constraints you should be able to say exactly how tall the cell is.
Implement the estimated height for row method...
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView estimatedHeightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
// return an actual number here. This is a guess of how tall the cells are
return 100;
}
or
// Thanks #rdelmar :-)
self.tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 100;
Implements height for row...
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
// return auto dimension here
return UITableViewAutomaticDimension;
}
Once you have done all three of these it will work.

Static UITableView with custom row heights

I'm trying to create detail view controller as a list of information and I think it would be nice and clean to present this with a static UITableView. But after that it came to my mind that on some level it might be difficult, so please resolve my doubts!
Every UITableViewCell has different style (some are custom, some are basic and few are right-detailed etc.).
What is more, content size of each cell may vary as I have long names put inside labels so they use autolayout to fit.
There is no problem when I have the same cells repeating but with different tex inside UILabels. In that case I use a simple:
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if (!self.prototypeCell) {
self.prototypeCell = [self.tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"ActivityCell"];
}
[self fetchedResultsController:[self fetchedResultsController] configureCell:self.prototypeCell atIndexPath:indexPath];
CGSize size = [self.prototypeCell.contentView systemLayoutSizeFittingSize:UILayoutFittingCompressedSize];
return size.height;
}
I don't know how to deal with heightForRowAtIndexPath. I can give an identifier to each cell, call cellForRowAtIndexPath:, and make a big switch or if statement, but is it right? The same problem occurs while I think of cellForRowAtIndexPath: and populating those UITableViewCells. With those testing statements this code won't be pretty and readable.
Any ideas on that case?
In the delegate function of the table view named heightForRowAtIndexPath try to calculate the height for each row and then return it.
//return height for row
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if(tableView==tblLanguage)
{
//Here calculate the dynamic height according to songs count for specific language
return (([[arrSongListForSpecificLanguage objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] count]*40)+40);
}
return 40.0;
}

Remove space at the top of first row in table view

In my application i'm using custom cell in table view to display images in all rows. But in my .xib file there is a big empty space comes at the top of the custom cell. Can anyone tell me that how remove that space in iOS7 (iPad)? (like how to change the Y axis of the custom cell)
This is an IOS7 related issue with UITableViewStyleGrouped and size of footer views in section.
If you set the footerView to be size 0 it defaults to a larger value, The solution I found was to set the footer to a very small non zero number
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section{
return 0.0000001f;
}
Try to set into your property inspector like this..
This might help you:
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {
UILabel *sectionHeader = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectNull];
sectionHeader.hidden = YES;
return sectionHeader;
}
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {
return 0;
}
Sometimes the empty space in the first row is the section header space. This functions eliminate it.
