Question

I have added multiple labels in My Tableview cell. I am displaying facebook message and sender name and photos.For some posts it might be possible that message is unavailable or photo is unavailable .. I checking null condition and if there is no value present I am not creating label for that particular cell… now some label has large string , some may have small.. I am confused with cell’s height ,, I am able to get dynamic height for 1 label like this in example dynamic height but how can I manage Height according to number of label’s text… my code is like

    if ([(Facebook * )[tableArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]sender]!= nil) {
    labelSender = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(image_view.frame.size.width+20, 20, 120, 20) ];



    labelSender.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[(Facebook * )[tableArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]sender]];

    [labelSender setLineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap];

    [labelSender setNumberOfLines:0];

    labelSender.textColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:59/255.0 green:89/255.0 blue:153/255.0 alpha:1.0];

    labelSender.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial" size:15.0];

    [cell.contentView addSubview:labelSender];


    [labelSender release];

    }


if ([(Facebook * )[tableArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]post]!= nil) {


        NSLog(@"post is ==%@",[(Facebook * )[tableArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]post]);

        labelMessage = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(image_view.frame.size.width+20, labelSender.frame.size.height + 20, 200, 20)];

        labelMessage.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[(Facebook * )[tableArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]post]];

        [labelMessage setLineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap];

        [labelMessage setNumberOfLines:0];

        labelMessage.backgroundColor = [UIColor yellowColor];

        labelMessage.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial" size:13.0];

        [cell.contentView addSubview:labelMessage];

        [labelMessage release];

I feel its better to go for UITextView whenever handling dynamic content.
