Self Sizing Cells do not work with Storyboard? - ios

Question

I've making a simple UITableViewCell prototype in a storyboard, but I'm having some issues with the self-sizing aspect. As you can see in the image below, the cell size increases, but the text doesn't move down. (It has 0 lines.) Here's the table's view controller.
import UIKit
class ViewController: UITableViewController {
let events = ["Kaufman Family Finished Project Reception", "Home Remodelers' Survival Guide", "Mori Family Mid-Construction Showcase"]
let locations = ["La Cañada Flintridge", "Claremont", "Claremont"]
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 70.0
tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension
tableView.reloadData()
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return events.count;
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
var cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("EventCell") as EventTableViewCell
cell.eventName.text = events[indexPath.row]
cell.eventLocation.text = locations[indexPath.row]
return cell
}
}
Obviously I can't provide you with dozens of screenshots of the storyboard, so comment if you need other information. Here's some basic pictures though.

Hard to tell from the constraint diagram... for this arrangement to work you need:
Event Name label set to 0 lines (you said you do)
Event Name label set to word wrap (by default it isn't)
Event Name label constrained to top of cell and leading/trailing edges of cell
Event Name label bottom constrained to top of Event Location label
Same conditions for Event Location label - word wrap, 0 lines, if you want it to have variable number of lines
Event Location label constrained to bottom of cell and leading/trailing edges of cell
This should allow both labels to dynamically size their height and for the cell to size itself to accommodate the label heights and margins.
One last thing... you are calling sizeToFit on the label after setting the text, right?
Here are some images from a project of mine where resizing labels work:
Final result:
"Questions Here" is the label being changed.
