Question

I created custom UITableViewCell.

@interface AnswerCell : UITableViewCell
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *textLabel;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *detailTextLabel;
@end

and set detailTextLabel.numberOfLines = 0;

        cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:kAnswerIdentifier];
        if (cell == nil)
        {
            [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"AnswerCell" owner:self options:nil];
            cell=answerCell;
        }            

        cell.detailTextLabel.text = [self extractText:indexPath forLabelAttribute:kDetailTextLabel];
        cell.detailTextLabel.font = [self extractFont:indexPath forLabelAttribute:kDetailTextLabel];
        cell.detailTextLabel.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
        cell.detailTextLabel.numberOfLines = 0;

UILabel shows only first line of the text. But why?

UPDATE: My detailTextLabel’s height = 21. What do I need to do? Do I need to change height = 1000?

Answer 1

I guess you cannot show all text because label height is too small. You need to set required height depending on the text length.
