Question

I’ve created a custom UITableViewCell in IB, linked it to the root view controller’s property for it, and set it up in CellForRowAtIndexPath. But the height of my drawn cells doesn’t match what I setup in IB, advice? Here’s some screenshots and the code.

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
        static NSString *AddressCellIdentifier = @"AddressCellIdent";

    UITableViewCell *thisCell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:AddressCellIdentifier];
    if (thisCell == nil) {
        [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"AddressCell" owner:self options:nil];
        thisCell = addressCell;
        self.addressCell = nil;
    }

    return thisCell ;
}

addressCell is a @property (nonatomic, assign) IBOutlet UITableViewCell *addressCell;, and is linked up in IB to the file’s owner (the table view controller).

I’m using the example from Apple’s table view programming guide.

You can adjust the height of the cell by using:

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    CGFloat result;
    result = 120.0f;
    return result;
}

This will work with custom cells.
