ios4 - How do I create a multiline table cell in iOS? -

how can second cell expand fit text rather scaling text? there built in way of doing in ios or have come home-cooked solution? if in ios contacts application, there's box address. can't find how implement though.

---

for looking achieve in future, here's code solution:

header file:

#define font_size 22.0f #define cell_content_width 320.0f #define cell_content_margin 5.0f 

implementation file:

- (cgfloat)tableview:(uitableview *)tableview heightforrowatindexpath:(nsindexpath *)indexpath {      if (indexpath.section == 0 && indexpath.row == 1) {          nsstring *text = [atmannotation address];          cgsize constraint = cgsizemake(cell_content_width - (cell_content_margin * 2), 20000.0f);          cgsize size = [text sizewithfont:[uifont systemfontofsize:font_size] constrainedtosize:constraint linebreakmode:uilinebreakmodewordwrap];         nslog(@"size address height:%f width:%f",size.height,size.width);          cgfloat height = max(size.height, 44.0f);          return height + (cell_content_margin * 2);        }     return 44.0f; } 

here's screenshot of result:

unfortunately, going have implement feature yourself. there variety of methods , callbacks need make use of calculate height of rows , labels. if need getting started, can amend answer include sample code. otherwise, i'm sure there related questions here on or google can started. in summary, however:

• determine height of row in uitableviewdelegate method -tableview:heightforrowatindexpath:. you'll need use nsstring uikit addition methods calculate how tall string given font size, etc. return proper height delegate method.
• make sure label (either in ib or configured programmatically) set use multiple lines. if set numberoflines 0, label use many lines necessary.
• in uitableviewdatasource implementation of -tableview:cellforrowatindexpath:, you'll need use same logic before determine frame of labels. set text want, change frame label tall enough barely fit text.
