After the user taps a tableview cell, I’d like to slide open a small view just below the cell . The first screenshot of these two apps show this:

I know how to dynamically increase the height of a cell but that is a different effect than the above. The slide out view affect doesn’t seem to increase the cell’s height. Also, the new view isn’t as wide. Any suggestions on how to go about designing that?

    You could create and insert, with animation, a new custom cell under it. Check out insertRowsAtIndexPaths:withRowAnimation:.

    UPDATE
    I also really like your idea of using a “slideout” view, but I agree with TechZen that this should be added as a subview of the cell.
    If you want to increase the height of the cell, you need to return the correct heights for all the cells from the delegate method tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath:. You will need to return the same height (standard is 44) for all rows except the one with the extra view which will be increased by the height of the new view.
