Question

UILineBreakModeWordWrap doesn’t work with UITableViewCellStyleValue2. Please see my screenshot.

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView_ cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
 UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView_ dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"any-cell"];
 if(cell == nil)
 {
    cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleValue2 reuseIdentifier:@"any-cell"] autorelease];
 }
  cell.textLabel.text = @"Address";
  cell.textLabel.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
  cell.textLabel.numberOfLines = 0;

  cell.detailTextLabel.text = @"1838 East Wardlow St (Corner of Cherry & Wardlow)";
  cell.detailTextLabel.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
  cell.detailTextLabel.numberOfLines = 0;

   return cell;
}

Result:

Do you have any solutions?

Answer 1

The UILineBreakModeWordWrap does actually work seeing your screenshot.

What’s happening is that the height of your UITableViewCell is not big enough.

You can calculate the needed height and set it in the tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath: method of the TableView’s delegate like so:

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

    NSString *cellText = @"1838 East Wardlow St (Corner of Cherry & Wardlow)";

    CGSize textSize = [cellText sizeWithFont:LABEL_FONT constrainedToSize:LABEL_SIZE lineBreakMode:LABEL_LINEBREAKMODE];

    return textSize.height; // Add margins accordingly
}
