I'm trying to figure out where to properly set tableView.rowHeight. Currently I have it in my ViewDidLoad method, but as I am using images it seems to be scaling the images up from the default.
E.g. my cell images are 55px squared. But if I set [self.tableView.rowHeight = 55.0]; in ViewDidLoad, they look a bit blurry.
You have to make space for the table view separator line (that is 1px), so if your image height is 55px, your table row height needs to be 56px.

im using NSTableView which needs to be updated with dynamic height
`NSAnimationContext.runAnimationGroup { (context) in
context.duration = 5
tableView.reloadIndex(tableView.selectedRow)
tableView.noteHeightOfRows(withIndexesChanged: [tableView.selectedRow])
}`
this is the code i used to animate... first if i try to animate by increasing one cell height the whole table view height increases gradually along with the animation... but again if i selected another cell..... the old selected cell should minimize the height and then increase the height of newly selected cell.... but what happens is... the table view automatically increases the size before cell completely loads and it looks weird (image 1)
in the image provided you can see how it looks (image2) but i want like this image to increase the height along with cell height hope some one helps me in understanding this... im a newbie so please help
I have an UIView that it should contains UILabels, and these UILabels are not fixed if an UILabel is nil, i don't display it, and if is not i must resize the UILabel to fit text (they can be 2 ligne) and put it under another UILabel, and after i must resize the UIView container for the amount of this UILabels. this the Screen Shot that i want to do programmatically:
UILabels can fit large amounts of text by automatically making the font smaller (see the minimum font size value in the Interface Builder). Instead of labels, I would use UITextViews. They fit large amounts of text by allowing the user to scroll. To make them hidden, use change the hidden selector attribute of the UITextViews. Because the UITextViews will never change in size, you can easily calculate how much to decrease the height of the UIView container by per UITextView. Hope this helps!
I think you have to calculate the height of the labels (more specifically, the addition from the original height) one by one. Of course you should be able to do this systematically by having all the labels in an array.
You can use [NSString sizeWithFont:] methods (there are several with similar names) to calculate the height.
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UIKit/Reference/NSString_UIKit_Additions/Reference/Reference.html
If you want to keep the same font size then you can calculate the frame size for the label at run time depending upon the length of the text..
See here
You need to used following two properties of label-
lineBreakMode
numberOfLine
when you use both of these properties then you will achieve what you want.
This may sound a newbie question, however I'm new to iOS dev.
I've got a UITableView on my iPad app. TableView has obly three rows, is there a way to tell UITableView to view rows vertically centered, i.e. to not from the top to down.
Figure out the sum of the heights of all 3 rows, call it MyTotalHeight.
float MyTotalHeight = heightOfRow0 + heightOfRow1 + heightOfRow2;
Set your
tableView.frame = CGRectMake(start_X, start_Y, tableWidth, MyTotalHeight);
If you want the contents of each row/cell to be centered vertically within the cell, this will depend greatly on what is in the cell. You will need to calculate the height of the content and then center that content vertically within the cell by adjusting it's frame.
You may want to try the UiTableView.sectionHeaderHeight property. Play with the number until the cells are centered vertically. If your using a plain table view, I don't know how well this will work for you.

I wanted to make a UITableView with text that is both right-aligned and indented as depicted in the image below:
Unfortunately, I can not do this by writing :-
cell.textLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentRight;
cell.indentationLevel = 10; // or even -10
Can this be done using UITableView's properties? If not, the only way I could think of is using [myString drawInRect:withFont:]; but I would like to go through methods based on alignment and indentation before getting into that [I have already written code for that :-) ], so other work-arounds are welcome!
Additional info: The indentation varies with accelerometer values so I can not have hard-coded Label frame positions. I've uploaded sample code at github in which I've used only the alignment and indentation info so far, so continuing to use that would make this easier.
Subclass UITableViewCell and you can position the frame of the text label however you like. In the if statement where you dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier: where a reusable cell doesn't exist, just modify the frame and then set the label to use the adjusted frame with setFrame. The autoresizing mask should remain the same.
You could always create your own custom cells and place a UITextLabel in the cell, and make the UITextLabel's alignment right aligned.
Also set the autoresizing mask of the UITextLabel to the right so the indentation distance stays the same no matter the orientation.
I have this interface with multiple UILabels.
On view loading i populate white labelled values with some data from a db.
The problem is, some of that fields are potentially too long for the interface, so i'd like to compute the total height of one label once the text is word wrapped and reposition the 2 labels below (shifting the Y coordinate) accordingly to the previous label's height.
All of this should go inside a UIScrollView to let the user scroll those labels vertically.
Any chance i can do this easily with some control i still don't know, or do i have to do it manually?
Thanks
You'll need to use the NSString UIKit Additions to compute the height you need to set on your UILabel, and then adjust the other controls appropriately.
Specifically, I think you want to use sizeWithFont:forWidth:lineBreakMode: to get the rect for your UILabel.
Alternatively, you could use a UIWebView and display the information as HTML. I don't know if it's necessarily less work, but you'll get a layout that automatically adjusts to the size of its contents.
