How to set dynamic height cells of UITableView?

I created prototype UITableViewCell with a title and subtitle in UITableView. Contents in those cells have many word-lines. I'm trying to dynamically set the height of the cells.

The idea/method with sizeFont is deprecated with the latest SDK.

How to dynamically set the height of the cells in a simple way?

I'd be grateful for some advise or a link to a tutorial or even better some coding examples!

To set height for UITableViewCell use tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath: method of UITableViewDelegate. To calculate UILabel height in iOS7 you have to use boundingRectWithSize:options:context: of NSString. boundingRectWithSize:options:context: will give you a rectangle needed to draw your UILabel's text. Try this code:

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView*)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath*)indexPath
{
    NSString* string = yourLabel.text;
    UIFont* font = yourLabel.font;
    CGRect expectedLabel =
    [string boundingRectWithSize:CGSizeMake(tableView.frame.size.width, CGFLOAT_MAX)
                         options:NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin
                      attributes:@{ NSFontAttributeName : font }
                         context:nil];
    CGFloat verticalOffset = 10;
    return verticalOffset + expectedLabelRect.size.height + verticalOffset;
}
