Reduced cell in grouped UITableview - ios

Question

I am adding one more section to the existing tableView and getting this:
my new cell is reduced by height. Appropriate methods:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
return cells[indexPath.section][indexPath.row];
}
- (CGFloat) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
if ([headers[section] isKindOfClass:[UIView class]])
return [headers[section] frame].size.height;
return 10.0f;
}
- (UIView *) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
if ([headers[section] isKindOfClass:[UIView class]])
return headers[section];
return nil;
}
- (CGFloat) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UITableViewCell *cell = cells[indexPath.section][indexPath.row];
if (cell == clientXibCell) return 100.0f;
if (cell == agencyXibCell) return 145.0f;
return 46.0f;
}
I can't understand what I need to do to fix this. Any ideas where the source of issue can be?
Update
I am now sure that predefining custom cell visual interface making this trouble.
supervisorCell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleValue1 reuseIdentifier:nil];
bgView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:supervisorCell.backgroundView.frame];
[bgView setImage:stretchableImageByHorizontal([UIImage imageNamed:#"cell_bgd_bottom"])];
[supervisorCell setBackgroundView:bgView];
bgView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:supervisorCell.backgroundView.frame];
[bgView setImage:stretchableImageByHorizontal([UIImage imageNamed:#"cell_bgd_bottom_active"])];
[supervisorCell setSelectedBackgroundView:bgView];
When I am uncommenting everything except first statement of creating the cell, everything works fine except custom appearance of cell. What do I need to change in this simple code to fix this?

Answer 1

The height of your cells are controlled by the heightForRowAtIndexPath:. Taking a look on your code, it seems that this method is always returning 46.
Your two ifs are comparing pointers, i. e., instancies of your cells. It means that of all your cells, one will have the height 100, one 145 and all others 46.f.
I think what are you trying to accomplish is set this height for all cells of the same kind, so you should change your heightForRowAtIndexPath: method, like below:
- (CGFloat) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
if ( [cell isKindOfClass:[YourCustomCell1 class]] ) return 100.0f;
if ( [cell isKindOfClass:[YourCustomCell2 class]] ) return 145.0f;
return 46.0f;
}
Ps1: Change YourCustomCell class for your own classes. If you don't have subclasses, try to set tags or something like that to differentiate them.
Ps2: always use tableview's method cellForRowAtIndexPath to get the reference of the cell by the indexPath.
