UIImageView auto resize inside a custom UITableViewCell with varying height - ios

Question

I have set up a custom cell prototype inside storyboard not using autolayout and i have run into a rather vexing problem where a UIImageView i have inside the cell seems to obey constraints all of it's own when i want it to reflect the size of the cell with a bit of padding.
Here is the setup in storyboard interface builder and view mode is set to "scale to fill"
And here is what i get back, with no editing of the placement or scaling of the image, it seems very much like it's using aspect fill.
I have tried various options and none seem to work for me so far, The only other way i can think is turn of auto resizing and set the rect myself manually when the cell is created any ideas?
and my code for setting the cell
- (void)setCell:(NSDictionary*)messageData
{
[_nameLabel setText:messageData[#"name"]];
[_messageLabel setText:messageData[#"message"]];
[_nameLabel sizeToFit];
[_messageLabel sizeToFit];
UIImage *image;
if([messageData[#"direction"] boolValue])
{
image= [[UIImage imageNamed:#"bubble_left"]resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(18, 6, 6, 10) resizingMode:UIImageResizingModeStretch];
}
else
{
image= [[UIImage imageNamed:#"bubble_right"]resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(18, 10, 6, 6) resizingMode:UIImageResizingModeStretch];
}
[_bubbleImage setImage:image];
}
and the protocol methods
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
CUIChatCellTableViewCell *cell = [_chatTableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"CustomCell" forIndexPath:indexPath];
NSDictionary *messageData = _testDataArray[indexPath.row];
[cell setCell:messageData];
return cell;
}
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
_customCell = [_chatTableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"CustomCell"];
//configure cell
NSDictionary *messageData = _testDataArray[indexPath.row];
[_customCell setCell:messageData];
//Get height of the cell
CGFloat height = [_customCell.messageLabel frame].size.height+[_customCell.nameLabel frame].size.height+20;
return height;
}

Answer 1

Set autoresizing properties like this, may you get help from this.

Answer 2

I could not get AutoResizing to work and i tried another test project from scratch and it seemed to work, so it must have been certain settings, either way i ended up having to set the height manually for each cell based on it's content anyway here is the code to do so
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
_customCell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"CustomCell"];
//configure cell
CMessageInfo *messageData = _testDataArray[indexPath.row];
[_customCell setCell:messageData];
//Get height of the cell
CGFloat height = [_customCell.messageLabel frame].size.height+[_customCell.nameLabel frame].size.height+20;
return height;
}
