iOS 8 auto-sizing UITableViewCell with UITextView

Question

iOS 8 introduced a way for tableViews to automatically adjust their cell\'s height based on their content (via AutoLayout).

// in viewDidLoad:
tableView.rowHeigh         


        

Answer 1

Reload the cell in the textViewDidBeginEditing: method of your UITextViewDelegate

[self.tableView beginUpdates];
[self.tableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:@[[NSIndexPath indexPathForItem:0 inSection:0]] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];
[self.tableView endUpdates];

Obviously you should change the indexpath to the correct one for your cell. This will get the cell to update its constraints and resize itself.
