Dynamic Height Issue for UITableView Cells (Swift)

Question

Dynamic text of variable length are being injected into tableview cell labels. In order for the tableview cells' heights to be dynamically sized, I have implemented in viewDidLoad():

self.tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 88.0
self.tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension

This works nicely for the cells that have yet to be scrolled to (as UITableViewAutomaticDimention is called upon scrolling to the cell), but not for the cells that are initially rendered onscreen upon loading the table with data.

I have tried simply reloading the data (as suggested in many other resources):

self.tableView.reloadData()

in both viewDidAppear() and viewWillAppear() and it was to no avail. I am lost.. does anyone know how to have xcode render the dynamic height for the cells loaded initially on screen?

Please let me know, if there is a better alternate method.

Answer 1

Try This:

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGFloat {
    return UITableViewAutomaticDimension
}

EDIT

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, estimatedHeightForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGFloat {
    return UITableViewAutomaticDimension
}

Swift 4

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, estimatedHeightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
    return UITableViewAutomaticDimension
}

Swift 4.2

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, estimatedHeightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
    return UITableView.automaticDimension
}

Define above Both Methods.
It solves the problem.

PS: Top and bottom constraints is required for this to work.

Here is example
