I have searched around for any tip for my problem. But I cannot find a solution for this.
I have made a subclass of UITableviewCell (FeedCell). With one image and two labels.
The problem is that the label I need to be multiline does not show up with multilines.
I use autolayot.
This is an app who display the users twitterfeed.
My code:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
FeedCell *tweetCell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (tweetCell == nil) {
tweetCell = [[FeedCell alloc]
initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
[tweetCell.tweetText setNumberOfLines:0];
[tweetCell.tweetText setLineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];
[tweetCell.tweetText setFont:[self fontForCell] ];
}
NSDictionary *tweet = _dataSource[[indexPath row]];
NSString *tweetString = [tweet valueForKey:#"text"];
tweetCell.name.text =[tweet valueForKeyPath:#"user.name"];
[tweetCell.tweetText setText:tweetString];
return tweetCell;
}
I have also set the heigthforRowAtIndexPath:
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
NSDictionary *tweet = _dataSource[[indexPath row]];
NSString *theText=[tweet valueForKey:#"text"];
UIFont *cellFont = [self fontForCell];
CGSize constraintSize = CGSizeMake(280.0f, MAXFLOAT);
CGSize labelSize = [theText sizeWithFont:cellFont constrainedToSize:constraintSize lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];
return labelSize.height + 20;
}
The problem is that the tweet cell.tweetText does not show up with multilines. I have not tried this with another CellStyle (I use custom cellstyle).
Any tip anyone?
For mutiline use the following:
tweetCell.tweetText.numberOfLines = 0;
[tweetCell.tweetText sizeToFit];
for testing purpose set the height of row as 46.0f in the following method:
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
I could not get the height issue fixed but this did give me a UILabel with multiple lines
I know this is an old post, but it came up when I was searching.
I got an example like this by following http://www.raywenderlich.com/73602/dynamic-table-view-cell-height-auto-layout.
I think for iOS8 the following is required:
Setting the lines to 0
Setting the word wrap
Setting the label size to be >= 20
Making sure there are enough constraints to determine the cell height (height of title and vertical spacing)
try
[tweetCell.tweetText sizeToFit]
Firstly, if you want to show 2 line of text (minimum 1 and maximum 2), the numberOfLines must be set to 2. Setting it to 0 means no limit.
Secondly, setting just the number of lines is not enough. The label width HAS to be specified. Either use sizeToFit, or set a constant value.
Try putting the code that sets number of lines, linebreakmode, and font OUTSIDE of those curly braces

Need the required height of UITextView. sizeThatFits returns bigger, but the correct height than boundingRectWithSize. Why difference exist?
At two places I need to know the height. In cellForRowAtIndexPath and in heightForRowAtIndexPath.
I do not think it is efficient to create always a UITextView in heightForRowAtIndexPath just to know what height is required.
What workaround do you know to calculate height of a UITextView in heightForRowAtIndexPath?
I met similar problem last month for UITableView, and I use boundingRectWithSize to calculate the size, it is actually correct. I then put it into UITextView.
Some mistakes I made:
I forget to set the same font size when calculating and for UITextView
UITextView has margins, I will manually add it in heightForRowAtIndexPath and set textContainerInset to the same one.
Hope it helps you.
-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
NSInteger section = indexPath.section;
NSUInteger axisIndex = section - 2;
yAxis *yAxisObj = self.yAxisInfoArray[axisIndex];
boundingRect = [yAxisObj.yAxisDescription boundingRectWithSize:CGSizeMake(self.descriptionViewWidth, CGFLOAT_MAX)
options:NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin|NSStringDrawingUsesFontLeading
attributes:#{NSFontAttributeName:self.contentFont}
context:nil];
return boundingRect.size.height + TEXT_TOP_MARGIN + TEXT_BOTTOM_MARGIN;
}
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *cellId = #"ChartDescriptionCell";
ChartDescriptionCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellId];
if (!cell) {
cell = [[ChartDescriptionCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellId];
cell.textView.bounces = NO;
cell.textView.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = NO;
cell.textView.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = NO;
cell.textView.font = self.contentFont;
cell.textView.textColor = [UIColor colorWithHex:#"#333333"];
cell.textView.textContainerInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(TEXT_TOP_MARGIN, -5, TEXT_BOTTOM_MARGIN, -5);
}
NSInteger section = indexPath.section;
NSUInteger axisIndex = section - 2;
yAxis *yAxisObj = self.yAxisInfoArray[axisIndex];
cell.textView.text = yAxisObj.yAxisDescription;
}
return cell;
}
boundingRectWithSize returns size for text, so you should manually provide your font.
sizeThatFits returns size of UITextView with this text inside
If you are pointing to iOS 8 and above you can use Dynamic cell height which is very easy. In case of iOS 7 you need some workaround.

Related question with nice answer: Using Auto Layout in UITableView for dynamic cell layouts & variable row heights
I'm using a default UITableViewCell, just its textLabel. My text is multi-line. What's the best way to compute its height?
I know there are various NSString sizing methods, but in order to use those, you have to specify a width. And I don't know the width of the default textLabel, and I suspect it changes based upon which text is placed inside it.
I've tried also using the method described here:
Using Auto Layout in UITableView for dynamic cell layouts & variable row heights
...but it doesn't work (estimated size always comes back 0); there's an implication in that post that that solution only works for UITableViewCell subclasses. (I could subclass, but it's not necessary.)
Suggestions? My app is iOS 7-specific.
Thanks!
UITableView rowHeight property. If you do not explicitly set it, UITableView sets it to a standard value.
I got it working with a standard UITableViewCell - using the github in the question you listed, but replace these functions.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
cell.textLabel.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
cell.textLabel.numberOfLines = 0;
cell.textLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica" size:17.0];
}
// Configure the cell for this indexPath
//[cell updateFonts];
NSDictionary *dataSourceItem = [self.model.dataSource objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text =[dataSourceItem valueForKey:#"body"];
return cell;
}
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSDictionary *dataSourceItem = [self.model.dataSource objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
NSString *cellText = [dataSourceItem valueForKey:#"body"];
UIFont *cellFont = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica" size:17.0];
CGSize constraintSize = CGSizeMake(280.0f, MAXFLOAT);
CGSize labelSize = [cellText sizeWithFont:cellFont constrainedToSize:constraintSize lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap];
return labelSize.height;
}
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView estimatedHeightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if (self.isInsertingRow) {
// A constraint exception will be thrown if the estimated row height for an inserted row is greater
// than the actual height for that row. In order to work around this, we return the actual height
// for the the row when inserting into the table view.
// See: https://github.com/caoimghgin/TableViewCellWithAutoLayout/issues/6
return [self tableView:tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
} else {
return 500.0f;
}
}
Oh also remove the register to the custom cell class so we get a UITableViewCell instead of RJTableViewCell. Also I think with this in here (even if it was a UITableViewCell) dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier would never return nil and we wouldn't setup our cell correctly.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
//[self.tableView registerClass:[RJTableViewCell class] forCellReuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
...
}
Basically followed this example here - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/129502/how-do-i-wrap-text-in-a-uitableviewcell-without-a-custom-cell. I think the key is to not ask the cell for it's height like you do if you subclass the cell, but instead figure it out based on the text and font. The fact you can't ask the cell for it's hight seems a bit weird to me, and makes me think perhaps #Jeffery Thomas is right, it may be safer in the long run to just create a custom cell. Probably depends on your projet I would guess.
You need to subclass UITableViewCell.
You are asking more from UITableViewCell than it promises to provide. This is a recipe for trouble.
Create a subclass and build a prototype. You will know all the constraints, so this will be easy.
I have a prototype cell inside my UITableView which contains a UILabel. I want to dynamically change the size of the label (and the cell) depending on the size of the text in the label.
I create the prototype cell in cellForRowAtIndexPath like this:
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"ProgramDetailCell";
ProgramDetailCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
cell.descriptionLabel.text = self.program.subtitle;
return cell;
Then my ProgramDetailCell has the following implementation:
#implementation ProgramDetailCell
- (void)layoutSubviews {
[super layoutSubviews];
[self.descriptionLabel sizeToFit];
}
#end
The first time the cell is displayed, layoutSubviews is called, but the descriptionLabel does not get resized. However, if I scroll down the table and back up again, the "reused" cell appears with the label correctly resized!
Why does it not work the first time the cell is displayed - and what do I need to do to fix it.
Thanks in advance!
In xib, go to first tab, under Interface Builder Document , uncheck use Auto Layout box.
It doesn't work because you are using auto layout. You need some auto layout way to achieve this.
Here's the solution.
Step 1 :
Have the UILabel Pinned to Top and Bottom of the UITableViewCell. You can achieve this through the Interface Builder by having Vertical Constraint on UILabel from top and bottom of the cell. This will make the UILabel increase in height if the cell's height increase or vice versa.
Step 2:
In your UIViewController in - (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath method calculate the size of the UITableViewCell.
You can calculate it using :
CGRect textFrame = [YourText boundingRectWithSize:CGSizeMake(width of the label, FLT_MAX) options:NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin attributes:#{NSFontAttributeName:Your Font} context:nil];
now return the textFrame.size.height + padding if present.
Step 3 :
You will achieve what you wanted --- "dynamically change the size of the label (and the cell) depending on the size of the text in the label" after compiling and running even for the first time.
After retrieving all data from server you can get height of that UILabel using this method.
CGSize maximumSize = CGSizeMake(210, 9999);
for (int i = 0; i < [_arrProductList count]; i++) {
float row_height = 0.0f;
ProductInformation *product_obj = [_arrProductList objectAtIndex:i];
CGSize desc_size = [self measureHeightForText:product_obj.product_desc forFont: [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14] forSize:maximumSize];
row_height = row_height + desc_size.height;
// [_arrRowHeights addObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f", row_height]]; You can take it into array.
}
[tableView reloadData];
And here i have given description of measureHeightForText:. This logic is working in all iOS5,iOS6,iOS7.
-(CGSize)measureHeightForText:(NSString *)strText forFont:(UIFont *)font forSize:(CGSize)size{
if (!testingLabel) {
testingLabel = [[UILabel alloc] init];
// testingLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:[AppHandlers zHandler].fontName size:16];
testingLabel.text = #"";
testingLabel.numberOfLines = 0;
}
testingLabel.text =strText;
testingLabel.font = font;
CGSize expectedSize = [testingLabel sizeThatFits:size];
return expectedSize;
}
And then update size of your label according it. This is working fine for me. I am using it.
Because when layoutSubviews is called your descriptionLabel's text is not set yet. And when you scroll, the text is set. So it is correct now.
I suggest you call sizeToFit after you set the text.
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"ProgramDetailCell";
ProgramDetailCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
cell.descriptionLabel.text = self.program.subtitle;
[cell.descriptionLabel sizeToFit];
return cell;
Call this in heightForRowAtIndexPath and manually calculate the height
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"ProgramDetailCell";
ProgramDetailCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
cell.descriptionLabel.text = self.program.subtitle;
[cell.descriptionLabel sizeToFit];
return cell.descriptionLabel.frame.size.height+cell.descriptionLabel.frame.origin.y;
You can use below code:
//Calculate the expected size based on the font and linebreak mode of your label
// FLT_MAX here simply means no constraint in height
CGSize maximumLabelSize = CGSizeMake(296, FLT_MAX);
CGSize expectedLabelSize = [yourString sizeWithFont:yourLabel.font constrainedToSize:maximumLabelSize lineBreakMode:yourLabel.lineBreakMode];
//adjust the label the the new height.
CGRect newFrame = yourLabel.frame;
newFrame.size.height = expectedLabelSize.height;
yourLabel.frame = newFrame;
If your requirement is dynamically changing label height mean follow the below link. When we need to change height of label we need to change the row height also:
Resizing UILabel not quite working
Use below code for dynamic height set in cell
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSString *messagetext=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[[arryStoryView objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] valueForKey:#"messagetext"]];
CGSize StoryTextSize= [messagetext sizeWithFont:[UIFont fontWithName:#"Georgia" size:17.0f] constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(300, MAXFLOAT) lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];
int TotalHeight;
TotalHeight= StoryTextSize.height + 10;
return TotalHeight;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell1";
UITableViewCell *cell=[tblSendMsg dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault
reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
NSString *storytext=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[[arryStoryView objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] valueForKey:#"storytext"]];
CGSize StoryTextSize = [storytext sizeWithFont:[UIFont fontWithName:#"Georgia" size:17.0f] constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(300, MAXFLOAT) lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];
lblStoryText.frame=CGRectMake(5, 25, [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.width-10, StoryTextSize.height+30);
int nooflines=StoryTextSize.height/16;
int i= StoryTextSize.height;
if(i%16 !=0)
{
nooflines=nooflines+1;
}
lblStoryText.numberOfLines=nooflines;
lblStoryText.font=[UIFont fontWithName:#"Georgia" size:17.0f];
lblStoryText.text=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",storytext];
return cell;
}
If you are using autolayout, modifying the frame will have no effect.
Instead, you should modify the constraints.
Im trying to implement dynamically sized tableView cells. The cells have a UILabel (among other things) that holds a variable amount of text. Before I customized the cell I was just using cell.textLabel.text to set the text and the cell resized fine and all the text was shown. I did not have to mess with the label at all. But now I have a custom UILabel inside my cell and the text is being cut off. Ive looked at a lot of answers on here but nothing seems to be working.
Here is my code:
//This method gets the size of the text that will be inside the cell/label. This works fine
-(CGFloat)getLabelHeightForText:(NSString *)text andWidth:(CGFloat)labelWidth
{
CGSize maximumSize = CGSizeMake(labelWidth, 10000);
UIFont *systemFont = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:15.0];
//provide appropriate font and font size
CGSize labelHeightSize = [text sizeWithFont:systemFont
constrainedToSize:maximumSize
lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];
return labelHeightSize.height;
}
//Dynamically changes the cell height. This works fine
-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSString *reviewText = [[self.reviews objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:#"reviewText"];
CGFloat textHeight = [self getLabelHeightForText:reviewText andWidth:self.tableView.frame.size.width];
return (textHeight + 40);
}
//This is what doesnt seem to be working.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];
//Review label
NSString *reviewText = [[self.reviews objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:#"reviewText"];
UILabel *reviewLabel = (UILabel *)[cell viewWithTag:102];
CGFloat reviewLabelHeight = [self getLabelHeightForText:reviewText andWidth:reviewLabel.frame.size.width];
reviewLabel.frame = CGRectMake(reviewLabel.frame.origin.x, reviewLabel.frame.origin.y, reviewLabel.frame.size.width, reviewLabelHeight);
reviewLabel.text = reviewText;
reviewLabel.numberOfLines = 0;
reviewLabel.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
NSLog(#"Height: %f", reviewLabel.frame.size.height);
NSLog(#"Width: %f", reviewLabel.frame.size.width);
// cell.textLabel.text = [[self.reviews objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:#"reviewText"];
//
// cell.textLabel.numberOfLines = 0;
//
// cell.textLabel.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
return cell;
}
As you can see, ive logged the height and width of the label. The width stays a constant 280 which is correct and the height changes dynamically depending the text. Everything looks as if it should be working fine. But sadly it doesnt. The cell resizes fine. The label (judging from the NSLogs) seems to resize fine, so why does my text get cut off?
Thanks
I have currently resolved this by adding some autolayout constraints to my prototype cell. Turning off autolayout also worked.
I'm having problems with my custom UITableView. I was wondering as to how to properly make a group of text into the cell without seeing any ellipses "..." and without the text getting cut off at the end of the cell.
This is what my cell looks like, currently:
It is a part of a UISplitViewController. The problem with this is, before for some reason it would show the whole length of the text but it would get to the end of the cell and the rest of the string is cut off (this happens when I check "AutoLayout").
This is what my code looks like currently:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"BCell";
BracketTableCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if(cell == nil)
{
cell = [[BracketTableCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
[cell.description setLineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];
cell.description.numberOfLines = 0;
cell.description.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica" size:14.0];
}
Bracket *bracket = [brackets objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[cell.description setText:bracket.name];
[cell.bracketId setText:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", bracket.bracketId]];
return cell;
}
I am experimenting on height, but that doesn't seem to matter because I can set the height to whatever, but it still shows truncated text.
Thanks!
Typically my approach to supporting variable height cells is to define a class method that can calculate sizing for a given model object:
+ (CGFloat)heightForBracket:(Bracket*)bracket;
The beauty of making it a class method is that you can share constants (padding values, font sizes, indentation levels, etc) with your code that actually implements the layout without having to expose them to any other classes. If you want to change those constants in the future, you only have to make the change in one place in the cell subclass. An example subclass implementation:
#define kPaddingHorizontal 10.0
#define kPaddingVertical 10.0
#define kFontSizeName 17.0
+ (CGFloat)heightForBracket:(Bracket*)bracket {
// determine the dimensions of the name
UIFont *nameFont = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:kFontSizeName];
CGFloat nameSize = [bracket.name sizeWithFont:nameFont
constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(300, CGFLOAT_MAX) // 300 is the width of your eventual label
lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];
// Apple recommends all cells be at least 44px tall, so we enforce a minimum here
return MAX(44, nameSize.height + 20 + kPaddingVertical*2); // 20 is space for the subtitle label
}
- (id)initWithReuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier {
self = [super initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
if (self) {
// bracket name
self.textLabel.numberOfLines = 0; // 0 makes this variable height
self.textLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:kFontSizeName];
self.textLabel.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail;
self.textLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
// if you wanted to hardcode a specific width, to a subview do it here as a constant and then share it with heightForBracket:
// bracket number
self.detailTextLabel.numberOfLines = 1;
self.detailTextLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14.0];
self.detailTextLabel.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail;
self.detailTextLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
}
return self;
}
- (void)setBracket:(Bracket*)bracket {
_bracket = bracket;
self.textLabel.text = bracket.name;
self.detailTextLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", bracket.bracketId];
}
You can then call heightForBracket: in tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath::
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
Bracket *bracket = [brackets objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return [BracketTableCell heightForBracket:bracket];
}
tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: becomes very easy, just set the appropriate bracket on the cell:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"BCell";
BracketTableCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[BracketTableCell alloc] initWithReuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}
Bracket *bracket = [brackets objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.bracket = bracket;
return cell;
}
A few notes:
this assumes the cell is not using Auto Layout
this explicitly hardcodes a width for the cell/label, which may or may not fit your use case
you should never name a property description because that is a method that already exists on the NSObject protocol
other enhancements would be caching the result of heightForBracket: to improve scrolling performance, especially if you start doing sizing logic for a ton of subviews
#gdubs you can use custom UITableViewCells
for reference you can use Customize Table View Cells for UITableView
I guess it would be easy for you to customize UILabels then. like if you want to add mutilple lines then set TitletLabel.numberOfLines=0; and if you want wordwrapping TitleLabel.lineBreakMode=NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;. There are other options in word wrapping as well.
The key to happiness with labels and Autolayout is to set the preferredMaxLayoutWidth property on the label. Without this labels don't wrap properly (or at all, in some cases, which is what you were seeing before, I think?).
Set the value to your maximum line width, and the labels should then behave correctly.
I think the problem has to do with the width of your label, if you are using auto layout expand your label's width to fill the parent cell and add trailing and leading to superview constraints, so that it resizes with it.
