Why UITextView won't appear? - swift

Question

I have a custom tableView Cell, I can't figure out why my UITextView won't show up.
This is my UITextView:
fileprivate let notificationBody: UITextView = {
let text = UITextView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 0, height: 0))
text.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
text.backgroundColor = UIColor.appWhite
text.font = UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: .headline)
text.isScrollEnabled = true
text.isEditable = false
text.text = "hjfhsdjfdsfhjksdfhksdjhkfsdjhfshjdfahsdjfdsjklfjsdkfjksdlfjkdsfjklsdlkjfsdjklfsdjklfsdjklfjkldsfjklsdfkjldskjfsdlkjfsdklfjlkdsjflksdajflkdsjflksdjflksdajflksdajflsdkjflsdkjflsdkjflsdkjflsdjflsdjflsdjfsdlkjfslkd"
text.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.natural
return text
}()
this is how I set it:
fileprivate func setupNotificationBody(){
addSubview(notificationBody)
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
notificationBody.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: notificationTitle.bottomAnchor, constant: 5),
notificationBody.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.leadingAnchor, constant: 5),
notificationBody.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.trailingAnchor, constant: -5),
notificationBody.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.dismissNotificationButton.topAnchor, constant: -5)
])
}
And ofcourse I called setupNotificationBody in Init.
I also have in this cell another button and a uilabel which show up correctly.

It looks like you need your cell to have dynamic height. In this case, you should set the property isScrollEnabled in your UITextView to false, so the UITextView will be able to calculate it's own height.
Also, remember to set the cell height to UITableView.automaticDimension in your UITableViewDelegate.
