I want to customize the size of a custom media item in JSQMessagesViewController. I am adding a label to a UIView and trying to set the size by setting the frame size of my container view.
UIView* containerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100) ]
containerView.frame = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 315.0f, 100.0f);
UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 50, 50)];
label.text = @"vendor name";
[containerView addSubview:label];
Setting frame size works for image view but now UIView. Even then, there is a white space for unfilled content in case of image view.
Also, I can resize the placeholder for all the views by mediaViewDisplaySize but then I cannot customize each subclass differently.
How do I selectively set the size for placeholderview depending on the subclass?
In your mediaItem subclass, you'll need to override mediaViewDisplaySize. If you need different sizes for each type of mediaItem, then subclassing each will be easiest.
