Problem setting dynamic UITableViewCell height
- by HiveHicks
I've got a UITableView with two dynamic rows. Each of the rows is a subclass of UITableViewCell and is loaded from nib. As my rows contain dynamic content, I use layoutSubviews to reposition all subviews:
- (void)layoutSubviews
{
[super layoutSubviews];
CGFloat initialHeight = titleLabel.bounds.size.height;
CGSize constraintSize = CGSizeMake(titleLabel.bounds.size.width, MAXFLOAT);
CGSize size = [titleLabel.text sizeWithFont:titleLabel.font constrainedToSize:constraintSize];
CGFloat delta = size.height - initialHeight;
CGRect titleFrame = titleLabel.frame;
titleFrame.size.height += delta;
titleLabel.frame = titleFrame;
locationLabel.frame = CGRectOffset(locationLabel.frame, 0, delta);
dayLabel.frame = CGRectOffset(dayLabel.frame, 0, delta);
timeLabel.frame = CGRectOffset(timeLabel.frame, 0, delta);
}
The problem is that I can't find a way to determine the height in table view delegate's tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath: method.
The trick is that I load cell from nib, so just after it's loaded titleLabel.bounds.size.width is 300 px (as in nib), not taking into account type of the device (iPhone/iPad) and current orientation, so it seems impossible to calculate the height without conditional checks for orientation and device type. Any ideas?
