Label Size to Fit inside UITableView

Question

The sizeToFit method of UILabel doesn't apply in cellForRowAtIndexPath.

The problem is I need some of my cells to look like this: enter image description here

and others to look like this: enter image description here

What's the solution for this?

Thanks

Try that in willDisplayCell:forRowAtIndexPath: instead of cellForRowAtIndexPath — Ricky, May 14 '14 at 10:55
Try changing the number of lines of the UILabel. Or what you can do is create two separate custom UITableViewCells. — Anil, May 14 '14 at 10:58

The sizeToFit method does what it is supposed to do in the cellForRowAtIndexPath method after disabling auto layout in the storyboard.

I had the same problem and I solved this way:

-(CGFloat) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    UIFont *font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Roboto-Regular" size:14];
    CGSize textSize = [[eventDetails objectForKey:[detailTitle objectAtIndex: indexPath.row]] sizeWithFont:font];
    CGFloat strikeWidth = textSize.width;
    if(strikeWidth <280) // if the length is lower than max width
    {
        return  30; // normal height of cell
    }
    else
    {
        return 30 + ((int) strikeWidth/280 )*15;// if not give the cell the height you want
    }
}

And do not forget to set the number of lines of label to 0 [label setNumberOfLines:0];
