How to change cell height dynamically in UITableView static cell

Question

I am using UITableViewController instead detailView to show one entity details. I populated one row of data from PFQuery in my viewDidLoad method.

Answer 1

I have been doing trying to achieve this from many days but could not. I tried Fahim answer and got clue, following I got from other different answer and have been able to complete it. Code in I added following function to get exact size of my label

-(CGFloat)getLabelHeightForText:(NSString *)text andWidth:(CGFloat)labelWidth
{

    CGSize maximumSize = CGSizeMake(labelWidth, 10000);
    NSLog(@"crossing getLabelheightForText");

    //provide appropriate font and font size
    CGSize labelHeighSize = [text sizeWithFont: [UIFont fontWithName:@"Trebuchet MS" size:17.0f]
                             constrainedToSize:maximumSize
                                 lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail];
    return labelHeighSize.height;
}

Than I have added indexPath with all cell sizes to be returned showing here only one cell size.

    -(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    switch (indexPath.section)
    {
        case 0:
        {
            if (indexPath.row == 0)  // category name size
                return 44.0;   
            if (indexPath.row == 1)  // image size
                return 204;
        }
        default:
            return 44.0       
    }
}

But after this I was getting perfect size of label but still have more to do as I was using PFQuery and tableView indexPath runs first that is why it could not update my table and I was still not able to resize cell. Than here is magic line that reloads my tableView and resolve my issue

[self.tableView reloadData];

Although issue is simple but it has a lot things so I put as reply to help other peoples.
