Question

Ok I am working on a project, and it would be VERY helpful if I could somehow figure out how to change one (or all) of the cells so that their height is contingent on the amount of text they hold. I found a tutorial on the internet that made it seem quite feasible, but I just am getting stuck becuse I am copying and pasting his code right into my app, and there is an error that pops up where his code reads:

NSString *text = [items objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];

If there is a quick fix using this tutorial, or if anyone could explain what the items thing is all about, thatd be great

Answer 1

In this example ‘items’ is an NSArray that holds the values to be added as cells to the table. Often you would populate such an array in your

-(void)viewDidLoad

or

-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated

So, once you use this method to supply your data the method in the tutorial you linked should work.

in your header file you would want

NSArray *items;

and

@property(nonatomic,retain)NSArray *items;

and in your .m file

@synthesize items;

then in either of the methods listed above, this

self.items = /* however you can build an NSArray with the data you need*/
