just a quick question. Is there a SIMPLE way to dynamic set the cell height depending on the text that is contained in the cells? Scenario: grouped table view with two sections. sections one and two contain text from a database (with different lengths of text).
I have looked into some tutorials and code snippets but nothing seems to be of any help to me (or i m too thick to get it right).
I would appreciate some advise or a link to a tutorial or even better some coding ideas!
thank you!
Ok here is the answer: (well not completed though) i have a problem with the it and would appreciate some help as it is driving me crazy! (I get a WARNING: Control reaches end of non-void function)
Can someone help here?
here is the code!
#pragma mark -
#pragma mark UITableViewDelegate methods
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
UITableViewCell *cell = [self newOrReusableCell];
if (indexPath.section == A_SECTION) {
NSUInteger row = indexPath.row;
NSString *text = [_centerArray objectAtIndex:row];
UILineBreakMode lineBreakMode = cell.textLabel.lineBreakMode;
CGFloat width = _tableView.contentSize.width - (kTableCellHPadding*2 + tableCellMargin*2);
UIFont* font = cell.textLabel.font;
CGSize size = [text sizeWithFont:font
constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(width, CGFLOAT_MAX)
lineBreakMode:lineBreakMode];
if (size.height > kMaxLabelHeight) {
size.height = kMaxLabelHeight;
}
return size.height + kTableCellVPadding*2;
}
if (indexPath.section == B_SECTION) {
NSUInteger row = indexPath.row;
NSString *text = [_leftArray objectAtIndex:row];
UILineBreakMode lineBreakMode = cell.textLabel.lineBreakMode;
CGFloat width = _tableView.contentSize.width - (kTableCellHPadding*2 + tableCellMargin*2);
UIFont* font = cell.textLabel.font;
CGSize size = [text sizeWithFont:font
constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(width, CGFLOAT_MAX)
lineBreakMode:lineBreakMode];
if (size.height > kMaxLabelHeight) {
size.height = kMaxLabelHeight;
}
return size.height + kTableCellVPadding*2;
}
}//i get the WARNING here!!
