Using a UITableView in Swift, could someone please help me automatically change the height of the cell based on the label, picture, and description please?

I want to dynamically change the cell size as the label text increases. i have already applied autolayout on the labels.

  • can you add image of your tableview cell constraint? – Hitesh Sep 20 '17 at 10:31
  • One thing you will have to do set your labels up like this: `yourLabel.numberOfLines = 0; yourLabel.lineBreakMode = .byWordWrapping`. Another possibility is to set width constraints on the label, then add text, and then call `yourLabel.sizeToFit()` – Joseph Beuys' Mum Sep 20 '17 at 10:35

Considering you have already applied constraints on the label. And also set your number of lines to 0. And then paste the following code in viewDidLoad method

tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 44.0
tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension

If the code below doesnt work in method viewDidLoad doesn't work instead add the code below in method ViewWillAppear

tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 60.0// the estimated row height ..the closer the better
tableView.rowHeight = UITableView.automaticDimension

plus :

  1. The constrain should atleast define the width ,top spacing and bottom spacing not the height constrain.
  2. In attributes set lines to 0

For making the cell auto sizeable, you need to do two things:

  1. Bottom space and top space constraints will push the cell size as needed. number of lines of label is 0.

  2. In your viewDidLoad() method add self.tblList.estimatedRowHeight = 50.0 self.tblList.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension

Swift 4 answer:

tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 44.0
tableView.rowHeight = UITableView.automaticDimension

Please be sure that the constraints are set
