Question

hi I am new to iPad developing. So I am using web service to display data in tableview. So how can I change the row heigh of each cell I tried but it showing more height for that one?
I used three arrays for displaying data in tableview So if I give more data to array through web Service. So how can I change for every row for table view. Can anyone help me ?

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section{
    return [arrOutline1 count] + [arrOutline2 count];           
}

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{       
    if ((indexPath.row)%2==0) {
        return 100;         
    }
    else {          
         //strData3 =[[NSMutableString alloc]init];
        NSLog(@" the data is %@",[arrOutline3 objectAtIndex:countRow]);

        //strData3 = [NSMutableString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[arrOutline3 objectAtIndex:countRow]];
      int myLength = [[NSMutableString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[arrOutline3 objectAtIndex:countRow]] length]; 
        NSLog(@" the length of dat is :%d",myLength);

        int LengthCell;
            int LengthCell = myLength /3;
            CGFloat heightCell3 ;
        int l = LengthCell * 19;
        heightCell3 =(CGFloat )l;
        NSLog(@" the heigh of cell is :%f",heightCell3 );
        countRow = countRow + 1;
        return heightCell3;
    }
}

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{

        static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

        if ((indexPath.row)%2==0) {
            UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

            if (cell == nil) {

            }

Answer 1

- (CGFloat) tableView: (UITableView *) tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath: (NSIndexPath *) indexPath
{
    CGSize labelSize = CGSizeMake(200.0, 20.0);
    NSString *strTemp = [arrServices objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    if ([strTemp length] > 0)
        labelSize = [strTemp sizeWithFont: [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize: 14.0] constrainedToSize: CGSizeMake(labelSize.width, 1000) lineBreakMode: UILineBreakModeWordWrap];
    return (labelSize.height + 10);
}

This is what I used in my project and it worked perfectly well. Change the values according to your requirements.
