Dynamic height of UITableViewCell with storyboard - ios

Question

I have read alot about dynamic height for UITableViewCell and for the life of me I cannot get it working.
I have a uilabel with dynamic content within a dynamic cell.
I am using the storyboard and have the constraints as so :
I am populating the table using
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *simpleTableIdentifier = #"labelCell";
detailTableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[detailTableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
}
cell.dynamicLabel.text = sectionString;
return cell;
}
I do not know why everything I have tried has failed. I am thinking it may be the connections on the uiLabel?

Answer 1

This is it , Right :
-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
if (indexPath.row == 0) {
NSString *text = myText;// [myArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
CGSize size;
if (SYSTEM_VERSION_LESS_THAN(#"7.0")) {
// code here for iOS 5.0,6.0 and so on
CGSize fontSize = [text sizeWithFont:[UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica" size:17]];
size = fontSize;
}
else {
// code here for iOS 7.0
NSDictionary *attributesDictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica Neue" size:19], NSFontAttributeName,
nil];
CGRect fontSizeFor7 = [text boundingRectWithSize:CGSizeMake(571, 500)
options:NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin
attributes:attributesDictionary
context:nil];
size = fontSizeFor7.size;
}
NSLog(#"indexPAth %ld %f",(long)indexPath.section, size.height);
return size.height +30 ;
}
Finally, at the delegate of cellForRowAtIndexPath: don't forget to make the UILabel flexible for text :
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
// ........
cell.dynamicLabel.text = sectionString;
cell.dynamicLabel.numberOfLines = 0;
return cell;
}
