How to resize custom cells in a TableView?
I am learning iOS development and Swift. I am trying to create a simple to-do app, with custom cells in a TableView. I have created the custom cell with a XIB file. In this, the cell looks like this:
However, when I run the app on the simulator, it looks like this:
Where am I going wrong and how can I Fix it?
Solution
You can fix the cell height to a default value by putting something like
self.tableView.rowHeight = 44.0
In your viewDidLoad, where tableView corresponds to the IBOutlet that is your UITableView in your xib file.
If you would like to do this dynamically e.g. by calculating the size of the cell's contents and then resizing the cell so it fits nice and snug, you should implement
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
return 44 // The cell's height
}
Be sure to set your UITableView's delegate to self to use this last method.
