I’m relatively new to iOS development and I have a question that I’m sure the answer to is quite simple.

I have an NSArray populating a UITableView. It’s working perfectly, however I have to manually set the height of each cell. Having a set height makes short amounts of text looks bad and cuts off large amounts of text.

I know there is a way to dynamically resize the cell height. I see it done all the time in apps. I also know that it involves the heightForRowAtIndexPath portion of the Table View delegate.

How should I take the objectAtIndexPath and estimate the size of it in order to accurately size the cell?

    One simple – yet slow – way which I always use as a first stab is to actually configure the cell and then find out how high it is. You might find that unacceptable for your app’s performance, at which point you can look at which bits of the layout logic can be separated out just to work out the height.
