I have a custom table cell with a UILabel in. What I want can be done with two ways.
1- Find the height of the Label that contains long text and set the rowHeight to make the whole text visible.
2- Make the UILabel scrollable so the user can move the text up/down with his hand to read the whole string.
Can you please advice me on which one to do an how to do it?
If your text is static and won’t change dynamically, you should use the first option. You can cache the result so whenever you refresh the table, you won’t have to recalculate the text. You can use sizeWithFont:constrainedToSize:lineBreakMode to calculate the actual text size.
For the row height: you should use tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath: and not rowHeight, since rowHeight will change the height for ALL rows – not only a single cell.
A far as a scrollable text view inside a table: in my opinion – it looks like a cheap solution in an app and makes it a bit amateur.
