Expanding table view cells disappearing

I have cells that expand by changing their height with a setExpanded: method call.

I then call reloadRowsAtIndexPaths: to refresh the cells.

@Javy,

Thanks for your question. I was developing table with similar behaviour: there are text views (UITextView) in my table view cells (UITableViewCell) that are :

1. expanding if new line is required to display text without scrolling, or
2. collapsing if new line was removed

So I found the same problem. In iOS 5.x when I was starting to type text it suddenly was becoming invisible. But in iOS 4.x everything works fine.

I have found the solution and it works well for me.

Solution: Just try to replace your animation type UITableViewRowAnimationAutomatic with UITableViewRowAnimationNone when reloading the particular cell.

Some additional code: reload both cell in one moment:

    NSMutableArray *indexes = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:2];
    // collapse previous cell
    if( previousCell != nil && [previousCell expandable] )
    {
        if( [previousCell expanded] ) [previousCell setExpanded:NO];
        [indexes addObject:previousIndexPath_];
    }

    // expand new cell
    if( [cell expandable] )
    {
        [cell setExpanded:YES];
        [indexes addObject:indexPath];
    }

    [tableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:indexes withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationNone];

Hope it will help you.
