I have created an app with a table view. Which uses a view and a label in each cell. But if I create the views and cells in the (!cell) code it returns empty cells and if I
I saw a lot of solutions but all was wrong or uncomplet. You can solve all problems with 5 lines in viewDidLoad and autolayout. This for objetive C:
_tableView.delegate = self;
_tableView.dataSource = self;
self.tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 80;//the estimatedRowHeight but if is more this autoincremented with autolayout
self.tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension;
[self.tableView setNeedsLayout];
[self.tableView layoutIfNeeded];
self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(20, 0, 0, 0) ;
For swift 2.0:
self.tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 80
self.tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension
self.tableView.setNeedsLayout()
self.tableView.layoutIfNeeded()
self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(20, 0, 0, 0)
Now create your cell with xib or into tableview in your Storyboard With this you no need implement nothing more or override. (Don forget number os lines 0) and the bottom label (constrain) downgrade "Content Hugging Priority -- Vertical to 250"
